Jordan & Egypt: Petra to the Pyramids
Tauck is a super-premium river cruise line offering small, intimate sailings on the waterways of Europe.
The cruise line launched in 1992, offering luxurious and all-inclusive river cruises on the likes of the Danube, Rhine and Rhone.
With many awards under its belt, the cruise line owns it when it comes to European river cruising, heading away from crowded tourist hotspots and off the beaten track.
Cairo is the Arab world’s greatest city, the capital of Egypt and a sprawling cacophony of car horns, calls to prayer and the babble of 10 million voices. This historic city is known in the cruising world as the gateway to the fabled River Nile and is the start and end of many Nile river cruises. While the city itself pulsates with the its colourful Khan el-Khalili bazaar, Mosque of Muhammed Ali, modern Cairo Tower (with viewing platform), and trendy street art and culinary scene, tourists drive outside the city for the peace and grandeur of the last remaining wonder of the ancient world – the Giza Necropolis. You’ll soon see why Egyptians call their capital ‘Mother of the World’.
