Egypt tours and Egypt Nile cruises

The mysterious Nile River, the world's longest river, flows from Lake Victoria in East Africa to its mouth at the Mediterranean Sea in Egypt. It passes through rainforest, mountain, savanna, and swamp until, on the final leg of its journey, it winds its way through Egypt like a giant snake, passing through some of the driest desert on earth. With a name from a Greek word meaning "river valley," the Nile River played a crucial role in the founding of Egyptian civilization.

The great pyramids of Giza are only the beginning of an awe-inspiring voyage into history and legend along the Nile River. From the Valley of the Kings and the monuments of Luxor to the Alabaster Sphinx at Memphis and the “Pearl of the Mediterranean,” Alexandria, see the unforgettable land of the pharaohs.
