Sail like an Egyptian
Shameless we know, we're only just back from our August break and already we're looking around for an autumn getaway. If like us you're after some pre-Christmas sunshine, opt for a cruise down the Nile (in style).
They almost rhyme - "Nile" & "Style" and so what a perfect pairing for a short break. A unique experience aboard the 'Assouan' cruise boat will ensure you travel in mode of a nineteenth century traveller such as Flaubert, or Amelia Edwards...
Propelled by the gentle Nile winds, you'll be able to discover the many archaeological treasures, magnificent deserts and breathtaking vistas Egypt has to offer without other pesky tourists (not to mention the sand?) getting in your way.
Removed from the rush and crowds of typical Egyptian tours, you will find yourself traveling to Egypt's finest destinations at your own leisurely pace, while sitting on a deckchair. How many times in your life will you be able to say one of the wonders of the world, literally came to you?
Panoramic Suites onboard have extras such as double French doors, which allow you to see the Nile and its sky from bed when you open the curtains. Not a bad way to start the morning...
Onboard cooking is simple and refined and sourced daily in the market or directly from gardeners and farmers along the way. After a strong cup of turkish coffee, take a swim in the Nile, or simply wallow in the ravishing landcapes, serene nights and dreamy star-gazing.
