What to see on the Nile Cruise?

General information.

In 2011, we spent one-week vacation on the Nile cruise in Egypt. We bought all-inclusive package tour, including flights between Helsinki and Hurghada, transfers between Aswan and Hurghada, all visits on ancient temples, nights on a cruise boat with food and drinks.

How it was! Awesome. All the temples leave on visitors an unforgettable impression. There is much to see and to shoot photos. I shot 1926 photos of which I’ll present 361 in eight posts! We visited to these temples: Karnak, Luxor, Kom Ombo, Philae, Hatsesup, Colossi of Memnon.

The cruise is like making a time travel, travelling back in history for thousands of years. The scenery changes slowly and life along the banks of the Nile seems to be slow life, no hurry. From time to time we encountered other cruise ships, onshore we saw bovines, camels, fishermen, shacks, debris, palm trees, distant mountains, and as the evening progresses, spectacular sunsets.

The slow life continues on a cruise boat, eating, drinking ,sun bathing, admiring sceneries, resting and swimming in a pool. Everyday worries and care are behind and it’s time to enjoy life. The mind is filled with the excitement of waiting to see all those old temples.

This post:

Cruise photos on the Nile 2.

As I told already in introduction, life on the shores of Nile is slow, without any hurry and now you see it thru my photos. Cattle, fishing, other cruise boats, row boats, palms, camels, Ferry transporting people and tractors, Fellucas (Fellucca Wikipedia), El-Tabia Mosque (mosque in Aswan), Tolip Aswan Hotel. That’s what we saw from our cruise ship.

En español:

¿Qué ver en el crucero por el Nilo?

Información general.

En 2011, pasamos una semana de vacaciones en el crucero por el Nilo en Egipto. Compramos un paquete turístico con todo incluido, incluidos vuelos entre Helsinki y Hurghada, traslados entre Aswan y Hurghada, todas las visitas a templos antiguos, noches en un crucero con comidas y bebidas.
¡Fue maravilloso! Increíble. Todos los templos dejan en los visitantes una impresión inolvidable. Hay mucho para ver y tomar fotos. ¡Saqué 1926 fotos de las cuales presentaré 361 en ocho publicaciones! Visitábamos a estos templos: Karnak, Lúxor, Kom Ombo, Philae, Hatshepsut, Colosos de Memnon.

El crucero es como viajar en el tiempo, viajar en la historia durante miles de años. El paisaje cambia lentamente y la vida a lo largo de las orillas del Nilo parece ser lenta, sin prisas. De vez en cuando nos encontramos con otros cruceros, en tierra vimos bovinos, camellos, pescadores, chozas, escombros, palmeras, montañas distantes y, a medida que avanza la noche, espectaculares puestas de sol. La vida lenta continúa en un crucero, comiendo, bebiendo, tomando el sol, admirando paisajes, descansando y nadando en una piscina. Las preocupaciones y los cuidados cotidianos están atrás y es hora de disfrutar la vida. La mente está llena de la emoción de esperar para ver todos esos viejos templos.

Fotos de crucero por el Nilo 2.

Como ya dije en la introducción, la vida en las costas del Nilo es lenta, sin ninguna prisa y ahora lo ves a través de mis fotos. Ganado, pesca, otros cruceros, botes de remos, palmeras, camellos, Ferry, Felouques (Faluca Wikipedia), Mezquita El-Tabia, Hotel Tolip Asuán. Eso es lo que vimos en nuestro crucero.

En francais:

Que voir sur le navire de croisière sur le Nil?

Informations générales.

En 2011, nous avons passé une semaine sur la croisière sur le Nil en Égypte. Nous avons acheté un forfait tout compris, comprenant les vols entre Helsinki et Hurghada, les transferts entre Assouan et Hurghada, toutes les visites dans des temples anciens, des nuits en bateau de croisière avec nourriture et boissons.

Comment c’était! Impressionnant. Tous les temples laissent aux visiteurs une impression inoubliable et profonde. Il y a beaucoup à voir et à prendre des photos. J’ai pris 1926 photos dont 361 dans huit messages! Nous avons visité ces temples: Karnak, Louxor, Kom Ombo, Philae, Hatsesup, Colosses de Memnon.

La croisière est comme un voyage dans le temps, remonter dans l’histoire depuis des milliers d’années. Le paysage change lentement et la vie sur les rives du Nil semble être lente, sans hâte. De temps en temps, nous rencontrâmes d’autres navires de croisière. À terre, nous voyions des bovins, des chameaux, des pêcheurs, des cabanes, des débris, des palmiers, des montagnes lointaines et, au fil de la soirée, des couchers de soleil spectaculaires. La vie lente continue sur le bateau de croisière: manger, boire, se bronzer, admirer des paysages, se reposer et nager dans une piscine. Les soucis et les soins quotidiens sont derrière et il est temps de profiter de la vie. L’esprit est plein d’attente de voir tous ces vieux temples.

Ce post:

Photos de croisière sur le Nil 2.

Comme je l’ai déjà dit en introduction, la vie sur les rives du Nil est lente, sans hâte et maintenant vous la voyez à travers mes photos. Bétail, pêche, autres bateaux de croisière, bateaux à rames, palmiers, chameaux, ferry-boat, Felouques (Felouque Wikipedia), mosquée El-Tabia, hôtel Tolip Assouan. C’est ce que nous avons vu de notre bateau de croisière.

Em português:

O que ver num cruzeiro no Nilo?

Informação geral.

Em 2011, passamos uma semana de férias no cruzeiro do Nilo no Egito. Compramos um pacote com tudo incluído, incluindo voos entre Helsinque e Hurghada, transferências entre Aswan e Hurghada, todas as visitas a templos antigos, noites em um barco de cruzeiro com alimentos e bebidas.
Como foi! Impressionante. Todos os templos deixavam aos visitantes uma impressão inesquecível. Havia muito para ver e tirar fotos. Tirei 1926 fotos, das quais vou apresentar 361 em oito postagens! Visitamos esses templos: Carnaque, Luxor, Kom Ombo, Philae, Hatsetsup, Colossos de Mêmnon.

O cruzeiro é como fazer uma viagem no tempo, viajando de volta à história por milhares de anos. O cenário muda lentamente e a vida ao longo das margens do Nilo parece ser lenta, sem pressa. De tempos em tempos, encontramos outros navios de cruzeiro; em terra, vimos bovinos, camelos, pescadores, barracos, destroços, palmeiras, montanhas distantes e, à medida que a noite avança, pôr do sol espetacular. A vida lenta continua em um barco de cruzeiro, comendo, bebendo, tomando banho de sol, admirando paisagens, descansando e nadando em uma piscina. As preocupações e os cuidados diários estão atrasados e é hora de aproveitar a vida. A mente está cheia da emoção de esperar para ver todos aqueles velhos templos.

Hello (^^)
The pictures of landscapes, buildings, people, animals, etc. from a crew ship navigating the Nile made me feel like I went to the Nile.
We are pleased to share your journey with this article.

Have a good day.

I just noticed your comment on Steve Gingold’s post, including your mention of Finland. I wrote about your national epic, The Kalevala, in my own current post, as I just learned that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow used its meter for his own famous poem about Hiawatha. I’ve known very little about Finland, but it seems to me an interesting country, and your blog will be a nice way for me to learn more about it — while I enjoy your travels along the way!

- Hello shoreacres.
  
  Oh, you know Kalevala. I think that every Finns has read it in school. I will check your Kalevala post. We have many writers who have written excellent books. One of my favorites is Mika Waltari whose book “The Egyptian”, inspired us to do this trip. Its hero called Sinuhe, tells us about love, the deception of the human heart and much more. All these happened mostly during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten of the 18th Dynasty We saw Nile thru his eyes when travelling in Egypt and the life on Nile seemed to be the same, what Mika wrote long time ago.
  
  Another my favorite author is Arto Paasilinna. His books have been translated into 27 languages over seven million copies. Most known is The Year of the Hare, but my favorite book is “A Charming Mass Suicide”. The title is odd, but is gives a big surprise to the reader and is very humoristic. Welcome to see Finland thru my photos.
  
  Have a good day!

The colorful houses by the river are beautiful! The one thing I got from your message is “slow life” – how I look forward to a slow life in an area that is not always in a hurry to do something.

Me encantaron tus fotos. Es como ir viendo la vida pasar y te desplazas desde tu puesto de vigilante y cotilleas la vida de los otros. Jaja.

Bonsoir Matti,
Effectivement, je n’avais pas vu cet article (Il faut d’ailleurs que je vérifie mes abonnements WordPress car je crois ne pas recevoir toutes les notifications).
C’est superbe, tous ces bateaux et certains pêcheurs ont vraiment le sens de l’équilibre !! Très belle lumière du soir, également.
Bises et bon week-end.
