Alice Kempes went on a cruise on the Nile and we decided to share her experience with all of you:
One of the best, if not the best, cruises I ever went on was a river cruise. It sounds underwhelming, but when you hear that it was on the Nile, I’m sure you’ll understand my delight. First of all, the ship was one of the cutest small liners I’ve ever seen. Packed with all the modern facilities, it clearly emphasizes on comfort and the happiness of the passengers instead of packing as much people as they can in the ship. But all of it pales in comparison to the beauty of Egypt and its historical temples. We were lucky enough to have the most excellent weather, despite some excessive heat, and we saw some of the most beautiful temples and archeological sites in the world. If the Valley of the Kings and the Colossi of Memnon are simply terrific, temple complexes like Luxor and, especially, Karnak are simply breathtaking. But I must admit that part of the excitement of walking along these sites full of history was knowing that I had a cool and cozy cruise ship to go back to!
