A classic of world tourism is the riverboat cruise down the Nile in Egypt. It’s the world’s longest river and provides access to some of the world’s greatest sites and monuments. Here are just some of the astonishing sights you can see as you take this historic cruise.
The Temple of Edfu
This magical ancient Egyptian Temple is the second largest temple in Egypt. It is full of sublime statues, wall carvings, courts, and “secret” chambers.
Karnak Temple
Another breathtaking Egyptian temple, Karnak is one of the most popular attractions. In addition to the sprawling network of tunnels, paths, and awesome statues, make sure you check out the astonishing acoustics of the architecture. The temple was built to house divine melodies composed for the glory of the gods.
