Nile Valley

The Nile and its valley is the lifeblood of Egypt and from ancient times down to this day, Egypt has depended on its rich resources. This lush and fertile area is home to 90% of Egypt’s population, living in cities, towns and villages all within proximity of the River Nile. It produces a large variety of crops from rice to maize, cotton, sugar cane, bean crops and fruits. You can see the traditional farming methods used to grow cotton, and Egyptian cotton is the best in the world.

Our Nile Discovery tours travel through different parts of the Nile Valley, to learn more about the splendid archaeological wonders of Egypt. Many of the ancient monuments along the Nile have been rediscovered after having been buried for centuries under sand and debris. As a result they have been preserved in amazing condition.

A journey down the world’s longest river is a highlight in itself. You can also sail down like the Egyptians in traditional feluccas, with their distinctive white sails, or enjoy a cruise from Aswan to Luxor, with fascinating stops along the way.
