Elegance of the Cairo & Nile 13Days (7nights River Cruise)
Cairo, located on the banks of the Nile, is the heart of Egypt's millennium civilization. When you step into this city, the first thing that catches your eye is the magnificent pyramids and the Sphinx, which bear witness to the glory of the Pharaoh dynasty; strolling in the bustling Khan El Khalili bazaar, the colorful spices, handmade carpets and gold and silver jewelry seem to tell ancient legends; in the Egyptian Museum, you can admire Tutankhamun's golden mask and countless rare cultural relics with your own eyes; when night falls, you may want to take a ride on a traditional Felucca sailboat, rocking gently on the Nile River and overlooking the brightly lit embankment in the distance. Cairo combines ancient history with modern vitality. Its food, culture and human touches will make you linger. It is a journey through time and resonance of the soul.
Nile River Glide across the Nile on a traditional felucca and feel the gentle waves of the world's oldest waterway. While boating, you can overlook the lush green palm trees and reeds on both sides, as if you were in an oasis wonderland; or you can choose a luxury cruise, stop at Luxor, Edfu and Aswan along the way, visit the Karnak Temple, the Khors Temple and the Temple of Isis on Philae Island, and listen to the whispers of thousands of years of history. At dawn, the scene of fishermen casting nets to catch fish and farmers working in the fields by the river is reproduced like an ancient painting; when night falls, you can drink on the deck and admire the twinkling stars of the village on the opposite bank. A trip along the Nile River is not only a feast of scenery, but also a spiritual baptism that travels through the past and present.
