Egypt Cruises - Holiday Destination

Home to the magnificent and historic River Nile, Egypt cruises offer holidaymakers the opportunity to uncover the many mysteries of the east in a luxurious cruise ship setting.

Egypt is located in North Africa bordering Libya, Sudan and Israel, as well as the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the popular holiday island of Cyprus. To the east, Egypt borders the Red Sea.

Its sea coasts make Egypt cruises a simple way by which to explore the region. Famous for its historical legacy and biblical associations such as Moses and the Red Sea, Egypt also boasts some of the world's most famous monuments.

Home to the Giza pyramid complex and the Great Sphinx, such wonders can be explored on cruise-organised shore excursions.

The southern city of Luxor is home to the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings, Egypt is also home to many ancient tombs that are popular among visiting tourists.

The majority of the population of Egypt is based along the Nile Valley and delta due to arid conditions in the interior of the country. This area is home to sand dunes created by blowing winds and reaching more than 30 metres in height. Holidaymakers can nowadays sand-surf these dunes in a manner similar to snowboarding.

Mostly rain-free throughout the year, temperatures in Egypt can reach 43 degrees Celsius in summer and 21 degrees Celsius in winter.
