2009-2010: Jewels of Egypt, the Nile, & Lake Nasser: Prince Abbas
For over 5,000 years, the Nile has been the lifeblood of Egypt, and there's no better way to experience the wealth of Egyptian history, culture, and architecture than on a cruise with Uniworld.
Discover Luxor, built on the site of ancient Thebes, where you'll see the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, Egypt's longest-ruling female pharaoh, and the Temple of Karnak, the largest temple complex built by man. Explore the 2,000-year-old beautifully preserved Temple of Horus, the Falcon god. Marvel at the legendary Pyramids and the Sphinx in Giza, and the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo.
Cruise on board the River Tosca, our new, ultra-luxurious all-suite ship, which offers a sophisticated setting for your Nile River cruise. Also sail on board the Prince Abbas, a five-star lake cruise ship, as you cross Lake Nasser to awe-inspiring Abu Simbel, one of the world's most magnificent temples. Travel in style and comfort while discovering the Jewels of the Nile.
Who will enjoy this cruise: This trip provides the perfect blend of touring the great Egyptian monuments, cruising Lake Nasser and the Nile River, and sightseeing in Cairo. It's a real connoisseur's delight of everything Egyptian-the Pyramids, Abu Simbel, Cairo, and so much more!
