The Egyptian Museum in Cairo

A visit to Egypt is incomplete without seeing the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. From the moment you step into the historic building in Tahrir Square, you are immersed in thousands of years of history. While the museum is somewhat old and perhaps not as modern as the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the atmosphere and the sheer density of history inside make you forget all about that. Every corner is filled with statues, sarcophagi, and papyri that transport you to a different dynasty and the life of a different pharaoh. The most impressive section is undoubtedly the upper floor, where Tutankhamun's treasures are displayed. Seeing the famous golden death mask in person is an entirely different experience than seeing it in photographs. The craftsmanship and richness are incredible. Patience is required while navigating the crowded and sometimes overwhelming corridors, but every artifact is absolutely worth it. It's truly a paradise for history enthusiasts.

Nile

#cruiseholiday A river cruise in Aswan offers one of the most enchanting and unforgettable experiences in Egypt. Drifting along the Nile—the lifeblood of ancient and modern Egypt—you’ll witness a landscape where time seems to stand still. Towering palm trees, lush green banks, and golden desert hills frame the river as feluccas and cruise boats glide silently by. Aswan’s cruise trips typically include stops at some of the region’s most iconic and culturally rich sites. The Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, stands gracefully on an island, accessible only by boat—making it a highlight of the journey. Another favorite stop is the Unfinished Obelisk, offering insight into ancient Egyptian engineering. Many cruises also include a visit to the impressive High Dam, and for longer journeys, excursions to Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples are included. Onboard, most cruise ships offer elegant accommodations, rooftop sundecks, and local entertainment—perfect for soaking in the river breeze while sipping tea or watching the sun set over the Nile. The food is often a flavorful mix of Egyptian and international dishes, served with warm hospitality and generous portions. What makes a river cruise in Aswan truly special is the pace. Unlike fast-paced tours, this is a chance to slow down, feel the rhythm of the Nile, and immerse yourself in the stories etched into every shoreline and monument. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a romantic traveler, or a family seeking a meaningful experience, the Aswan river cruise offers serenity, wonder, and a deep connection to Egypt’s enduring soul. It’s not just a journey through space, but through layers of time. An absolute must-do for anyone exploring Upper Egypt.
