From Cairo to Cairo · Europe (River) · 11 nights
Designed to sail exclusively on the Nile, AmaLilia offers a comfortable base for exploring Egypt’s wonders, with locally-inspired décor and an expansive sun deck.
AmaLilia has 41 staterooms and suites, most of which benefit
from a French balcony. The ancient sites of Egypt are the main
attraction on a Nile River cruise, but AmaLilia offers the perfect
base for exploration, with regionally-inspired dining, swimming
pool, fitness room and spa treatment rooms, and an onboard
Egyptologist to guide your journey.
We love this noisy, dusty, busy city. Expect a warm welcome everywhere you go - Egypt goes through hard times so often that its tourism industry suffers a constant roller-coaster ride of highs and lows. More or less everyone has a financial interest in ensuring tourists continue to visit, and the country, and Cairo itself, really has so much to offer. The highlight of your stay may well be the Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza, but don't neglect a visit to the Egyptian Museum, which has a truly stupendous collection of ancient artefacts, including the Tutankhamen treasures.
Prepare to be amazed – the thin belt of greenery along the banks of the Nile in Upper Egypt gives Luxor a lush setting for an extraordinary collection of tombs, temple complexes and stone structures that hint at the magnificence of this former Ancient Egyptian capital.
Egypt's southernmost city, Aswan, is where the Nile is at its most majestic. Many monuments and sites are within easy reach, such as the temple of Philae and the Aga Khan Mausoleum. The souk is the perfect place to shop for gifts to take home, but also to learn more about the people who shop here daily.
