Egypt
is one of those countries which have a fairy-tale like quality. Its pyramids
hold a fascinating quality and its sphinx’s mysterious beauty is hard to
decipher. The profoundness of the culture and history that this place holds is
truly remarkable. Egypt holidays have this quaint attribute. They can take you
to an unearthly part of the world where you will forget your present and feel
like living in the past. The treasure trove and the historical archives which
this African nation possesses can definitely make a mark on your heart and
memory.
Dahabiya
cruise over the Nile is one interesting and popular way to explore the vivid
natural and pristine beauty of the country. Nile’s name deserves no
introduction. There would be hardly any child who hasn’t heard of the
significance of the river to the human civilization. It is the lung and the
heart of a country which could so easily had been a barren, inhabitable land
had the river not blessed it with its comforting presence. Apart from gorging
on the natural scenes, a Dahabiya cruise also offers you good view of the
various human-made structures including the pyramids and the sphinx of Giza.
The cruise takes you through
every part of the country showing you the fields, the ancient runes as well as
the modern-day cities. Luxor is one important city which will lie during your
journey. Its high historical worth makes it indispensable for the travel
operators to include it in the package. Most cruises run between the two cities
of Luxor and Aswan, giving you a rich spectacular view of the myriad towns and
bazaars in between. Luxor cruises are extremely popular because they allow you
to set your eyes on the two most famous temples of the country. The Luxor
Temple is an extremely religious locale which holds a significant place in the
country’s culture and history. The Karnak Temple is also a must-visit spot
which greets thousands of travelers every year.
Both these temples have that feel
of déjà vu. You can easily smell the presence of the ancient man and the forlorn
culture in these corners. It is easy to get nostalgic and easier to forget
about your very own existence. These legendary places do give you a shiver down
your spine, once you realize that you are standing on the premise of history
itself. Luxor cruises also give you a
first-class view of various other sites. The journey shall also connect you
with the Valley of the Kings. It lies in the proximity to Aswan and is a spot
where the tombs of several Pharaohs are situated. The one housing the dead
Tutankhamen is also present here and is the most popular of them all.
Your Egypt holidays shall also
give you a peek of the countless modern day stuff which the county has come up
with. The museums, restaurants, hotels, art galleries, markets and other
attractions lend an element of sophistication. The contrast with the pyramids
of the past and the hotels of the present age is surreal and poetic. That is
why it is said that no other tourist spot can replace Egypt when it comes to
the ‘best place to go for a holiday’!
