Aswan Luxor Nile Cruise ,Many people are drawn to Egypt by the
powerful Nile and its spectacular monuments, while others are awed by the
alluring desert and verdant delta. It is a traveler's paradise when you take
into account the nation's lengthy and enduring past and culture full of tales.
Best time to cruise the Nile?
My ideal time to go on a Nile cruise would be between
March and April or October and November. The weather is dry and warm without
being too hot. There also tend to be fewer visitors at these times, so the
sites are quieter and more atmospheric.
Nile
Cruise Holidays, Nile cruises have been transporting tourists
between Luxor and Aswan for well over a century, making them historically the
easiest method of travel in Egypt. As you leisurely meander along the river,
you get a glimpse of the nation through the eyes of earlier travellers who,
like us, came to marvel at the tombs and temples the Ancient Egyptians left
behind.
The wonders of Egypt while cruising and the
incomparable experiences
Cruise on the Nile The majority of ancient
civilization monuments are located along rivers, allowing visitors to sail the
Nile while learning about Egyptian history.
The Egypt luxury tour will give you the chance to
explore Egypt like the Kings and Queens did thousands of years ago while
travelling on the Nile.
The cruise will stop in many cities and sites. The
city of Aswan is the perfect example as this southernmost city was the trade
route between Africa and India where exotic goods were traded.
Another city rooted in Egyptian history is Luxor and
the discovering of King Tutankhamen’s tomb has made it the perfect spot to
deeply understand the rich history.
The cruise will make several cities and locations
stops. Aswan serves as the ideal illustration because it is the southernmost
city and served as an important trading hub for unusual products between Africa
and India.
Luxor is another Egyptian-related city, and the
discovery of King Tutankhamen's tomb has made it the ideal location to fully
appreciate the country's extensive past.
The Luxor Museum is a wonderful
institution that houses a carefully chosen, brilliantly displayed, and
thoroughly explained collection of artefacts that primarily come from Theban
temples and cemeteries and date from the end of the Old Kingdom up to the
Mamluk period. Many people are put off by the expense of the admission, but
don't let that deter you this is among the most rewarding attractions in Luxor
and among the best museums in Egypt.
A well-preserved limestone relief of Tuthmosis
III, an exquisitely carved greywacke statue of Tuthmosis III from the Temple of
Karnak, an alabaster statue of Amenhotep III guarded by the great crocodile god
Sobek, and one of the few pieces of Old Kingdom art discovered at Thebes—a
relief of Unas-ankh—can all be found in the ground-floor gallery.
The two faceless Colossi of Memnon, which originally
symbolised Pharaoh Amenhotep III and rise magnificently about 18 metres above
the plain, are the first monuments visitors to the west bank witness. These
colossal colossi, which each weighed 1000 tonnes and were carved from a single
block of stone, were located at the eastern entrance to the Amenophis III
funeral temple, which was the biggest structure on the west bank. Behind the
colossi, Egyptologists may be seen digging the temple and making discoveries.
When the statues were attributed to Memnon, the
fabled African king who was killed by Achilles during the Trojan War, the
colossi were already a popular tourist destination during the Graeco-Roman era.
The whistling sound made by the northern statue at sunrise was said to be
Memnon's call to his mother Eos, the goddess of dawn, and was seen as lucky by
the Greeks and Romans. She would shed dewy tears in retaliation for his
premature passing. All of this was most likely caused by a crack that developed
in the colossus' upper torso following the earthquake of 27 BC. Sand would
break off and reverberate inside the gaps in the building as the heat of the
early morning sun burned the dew-soaked stone.
