If there was one place on Earth that I could choose to go as my last, I think it would be Egypt. Egypt is the place to visit for anyone tired of summers dominated by grey skies. It is for those who marvel at the great antiquities, and sense of achievement. It is for those of us who enjoy tasting a culture that hasn’t really changed that much over many centuries.

Luxury Holidays in Egypt Have over the last decade become so popular with people in this county. A travel trend report reveals that UK visitor numbers have increased by 38% over the course of the year from 2008. These statistics will definitely improve further, as tourist are looking for quality destinations, and the guarantee of settled warm weather.

Possibly the most exciting of luxury Egypt hotels would be a floating one - onboard a cruise liner on the river Nile.

The Egyptians believed the Earth was a pancake with the Nile at its centre. They also believed that ocean lay around the outsides. We know nowadays, of course, that this not true. But the Egyptians of today still see the river as the all-powerful source – a symbol of fertility and life.

When cruising on one of the many Nile cruises available, it is possible to be ignorant of the sheer scale of the river. The river in Egypt occupies only about 22% of its total length. Most of the path of the river is through desert and wasteland. The source of the river is widely thought to be Lake Victoria in certral Africa.

With each annual flooding of the Nile Valley, a layer of preserving silt is left behind. There is evidence of previous settlements discovered under almost every town. Ancient tombs, temples and monuments along the banks have been found, and some of the riches places to visit are Luxor and Aswan.
