The timeless Nile River flows through shifting sands like a silken ribbon. Along its banks, one of the world's greatest civilizations emerged, pharaohs changed the course of history and a magnificent trio of pyramids rose in the desert. A cruise along this breathtaking waterway between Luxor and Aswan uncovers millennia-old temples and legendary stories of gods. Beyond the monuments, Egypt's warm people greet you, from lush, palm-lined riverbanks to the busy and fascinating streets of Cairo.
