Historic monuments, amazing sightseeing and beautiful beaches are all here on a cruise to the beautiful North African country of Egypt.

From the stunning temples at Giza and the Valley of Kings to the natural beauty of the coral reefs beneath the Red Sea, Egyptian cruises take you to a place where the contrasts of man-made excellence and natural wonders combine to create a thrilling holiday.

The port of Said is the place where you will find access to Cairo and Giza, where you can of course visit the famous Sphynx and the equally well known Pyramids, which are of course one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The shore excursions at Safaga will take you to the fascinating Luxor, Karnak and the Valley of Kings, where you will find ornate old tombs, temples and palaces that would have once been home to Pharaohs.

One of the most romantic destinations on a cruise to Egypt city of Alexandria, which possesses a very Mediterranean atmosphere left behind by its former Roman connections. Here, you can take a walk down the lovely promenade by the sea, visit colonial buildings and the splendid Roman Amphitheatre. One of the most popular Egypt cruises destinations is the fast-developing port of Sharm-el-Sheikh, with its beautiful beaches and clear seas making it an ideal spot for swimming, snorkelling and diving.

The nearby Marine National Park at Ras Mohammed is home to magnificent coral reefs and gardens, as well as a host of exotic fish. Intrepid visitors can take a camel ride across the desert, or jump behind the wheel of a Jeep and explore the sandy expanse that way, ending the day in a Bedouin tent with a hot cup of aromatic tea. These are just some of the amazing experiences you can have on a cruise to Egypt.

Whilst the ancient history of Egypt is one of its greatest attractions, the Red Sea is one of the most beautiful in the world and the country’s many bazaars are a favoured haunt of bargain hunters, with the areas famous for spices, crafts, rugs, jewellery, clothing and of course the obligatory haggling! At the end of a long day, relax in comfort in a welcoming Arabian café, or enjoy a refreshing cocktail on the beach as you watch the sun go down.
