The Leading Twin Centre Option With A Cruise On The Nile

The River Nile is the life blood of Egypt and for several years, tourists have travelled to sail up and down the river between Luxor and Aswan. They come to take delight in the historic treasures that are found in abundance in this part of Egypt and to sit back and unwind as their cruise boat sails down the River Nile.

Normally, a Nile cruise takes 7 nights and from there, holiday makers either return home but they also have the selection to take in other areas of The Red Sea. There are plenty of resorts along the coast offering something for everyone.

The most successful location in Egypt is Sharm el Sheikh but it also quite tricky to get to from Luxor. Owing to the long distance, the only practical option is to catch a flight but depending on flight availability and timings, it may mean a single night in a hotel in Luxor before catching a flight the next morning.

The least costly option is to remain in Luxor but its miles from the coast. Yet, the coast is easily accessible by road in about four hours. The primary resort is Hurghada which has plenty of hotels but there are possible choices to the north of Hurghada at El Gouna or to the south at many different destinations such as Soma Bay, Makadi Bay and Qusier.

The resorts around Hurghada are the most economical alternative as the flight home is from Luxor which means charter airlines can be used instead of the more pricey scheduled airlines. Hurghada itself is a busy resort with several hotels from budget up to 5* luxury.

El Gouna is more quiet and is well known for the people needing a more relaxing week by the sea immediately after a Nile cruise. For secluded luxury, El Quseir is the best preference with just two self contained hotels being on offer; the Movenpick or the Radisson Blu. This part of the Red Sea is very underdeveloped and the town of Quseir is worth visiting if you want to watch a town that remains to be relatively tourist free.
