    River Nile: A Boat Trip Along The Nile
  • Tip Rating:
  • Make a boat trip along the Nile.

    The boat itself is gorgeous - two-storeyed, decorated with Oriental ornamental pattern. I enjoyed the music and belly-dancers, the entertainment was lavish - it was really a festival! Only one paradox - the air conditioning was so strong that we would go out to the deck to get some warmth!

    River Nile: River Nile
  • Tip Rating:
  • Along with the Pyramids, Cairo is associated with the River Nile. Desert only a few miles from its banks, the Nile dictates Egyptian lives. The city sprawls for many miles in both directions. Surprisingly, there are few opportunities to reach the water's edge in the city itself.
