Title:

Tourists Disembark Cruise Ships

Description:

Numerous tourists disembark from the fine cruising ships on the Nile to pay a visit to the temple of Kom Ombo.

A first time visitor to Egypt who wants a classical (pharaonic antiquities) experience would do well to book a Nile cruise. Of course modern airlines shuttle tourists to the southern region of Egypt, but historically the Nile cruise was really the only way to visit the temples and tombs located along this stretch of the river. It is still a popular means of visiting upper Egypt and has many advantages to other means of travel.
