River Nile Reopens Between Cairo And Luxor - Cairo to Aswan Cruise
Good news for Nile cruise lovers and tourists to Egypt as the portion of Egypt's Lower Nile River which runs between Cairo and Luxor reopens to cruise vessels after over 16 years.
Online, May 2, 2013 (Newswire.com) - This means that tourists can now sail all the way from Cairo to Aswan.

Nile Cruise is offering its customers this unique experience of sailing between Luxor and Cairo when its vessel HS Nile Vision makes the return trip to Cairo to start the long cruise programme in September. This an unique opportunity as the offer is for one date only on Tuesday the 27th of August and is not to be missed!
