Jewels of the Nile: 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 Uniworld Grand River Cruise and Tour.
Discover Luxor, 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, and sail on a felucca, a traditional Egyptian vessel. Cruise on Lake Nasser for an exclusive tour to Abu Simbel, one of the world's most magnificent temples built by Ramses II as a symbol of his power. Marvel at the legendary Pyramids and the Sphinx in Giza, and the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo-all must-see Egyptian treasures.
Cruise onboard two beautiful ships
Cruise onboard the MS Giselle, an impressive, elegantly furnished 5-Star ship, which offers a sophisticated setting for your Nile River cruise. You will also sail onboard the MS Prince Abbas, a 5-Star lake cruise ship, as you travel to awe-inspiring Abu Simbel. Both ships are designed to take you to the great sites of Egypt in comfort and style, and Uniworld would have it no other way!
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!
