With most  autobus tours, you&#8217;d be stopping every night at a different hotel, having to pack and unpack morning and night, as well as keeping to a fairly tight time table. <\/p>\n<p>Spending several hours sitting on a coach each day is not everyone&#8217;s cup of tea &#8211; however comfortable the coach.&nbsp; The beauty of Nile River cruises is that your hotel is also your means of  transport.&nbsp; You establish your home base in your cabin and then are free to do with your day what you will &#8211; whether that be relaxing on deck with a cool drink or exploring tremendous tombs and temples ashore.<\/p>\n<p>This leads on to another  advantage of cruises, and that is their  flexibility. Maybe you already know Egypt well and don&#8217;t wish to sightsee further.&nbsp; In that case, you&#8217;ll find plenty on offer on board ship.&nbsp; But, if getting to know the country&#8217;s heritage is your main reason for your  holiday, then most  cruisers can easily arrange excursions and tours for you at all ports of call. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also enjoy the atmosphere on Nile cruise ships.&nbsp; Ships which cruise the River Nile tend to be  relatively small &#8211; not like some of the huge liners which cross the oceans.&nbsp; This results in a wonderfully intimate, friendly atmosphere, where you get to know one another and become a big family.&nbsp; Yet the ships are also large enough to offer plenty of  comforts, fine food, and comfortable accommodation. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, with the tremendous choice of cruises available, you should certainly be able to find something to fit your budget and specifications.<\/p>\n<p>What To See?<br \/>Cruising the Nile you&#8217;ll enjoy the sites, temples and tombs located along the particular stretch of the River you&#8217;re travelling &#8211; and it&#8217;s about the only way to visit  southerly Egypt.&nbsp; Cruises tend to be three, four or  7 nights in length, the shorter ones between Luxor and Aswan, the longer ones journeying further north. Obviously, the longer your cruise, the more you&#8217;ll get to see and the further north you go, several combining cruising with flights and land tours &#8211; sometimes to fairly  remote areas.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re after something slightly different, you may wish to experience sailing by &#8220;felucca&#8221;.&nbsp; A felucca is a typical Egyptian sailing boat &#8211; but accommodation and amenities are certainly not as  deluxe as the cruise ships.<\/p>\n<p>One thing&#8217;s for sure, whichever of the Nile River cruises you choose, you&#8217;ll have the experience of a lifetime and surely fall in love with the  magical land of Cleopatra and the Pharaohs.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.egypttourinfo.com\/egypt-nile-cruise-tour.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.egypttourinfo.com\/egypt-budget-vacation-and-nile-cruise.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong> <\/strong><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.egypttourinfo.com\/egypt-nile-cruises.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Egypt Nile Cruises: Luxury Holidays While Cruising the Nile River<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Explore five thousand years of history while you travel the Nile River!
