Egypt is almost as old as civilization itself – in fact, no other country on earth can boast of a longer recorded history than the land on the river Nile. It is the perfect destination for travelers who hunger for knowledge of the past. You may leave Egypt after a short stay. But Egypt will never leave you. The timelessness of its monuments, the soul-stirring architecture of its mosques and churches, the quaint charm and hospitality of its people… will crowd your memories forever. One of the most enjoyable experiences is to float serenely down the river Nile on an air conditioned luxury ship for a few days.
