‘See the pyramids along the Nile’.
Herself has been holding out for the real Egypt, passing up on the chance to go to Sharm El Sheikh a few years ago.
And that’s exactly what Travel Department http://www.traveldepartment.ie will offer you with their Egyptian Adventure with Nile River Cruise.
You will begin your holiday in Cairo with a full-day city tour.
And there will also be the chance of half-day guided tour taking in the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx.
And before you know it, it’s time to rest back on your seven-day cruise.
Where you’ll enjoy all the luxury of the NS Radamis II meandering down the River Nile.
You’ll have a range of excursions along the way taking in the Temple of Horus, the Valley of Kings, the High Dam and the Temples of Karak and Luxor.
Of course while we all love a bit of Egyptology we also like the oil’ beach.
And to finish it all off you’ll get a three-night stay in Hurghada on the Red Sea coast.
Now because I’ll always find any old excuse to trot out this picture again, here’s snorkelling in the Red Sea in Jordan earlier this year,

And guess what? I know a thing or two about Copenhagen from catching up with my old mucker Tom on a stop-off on the way to the fjords… https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/2019/10/15/cruiseday-tuesday-trolls-and-the-fjords/ and https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/the-call-of-the-fjords/
Rome I’ve told you about. But there’s also Barcelona… https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/2019/08/23/surfing-the-seas-in-barcelona/.
Athens is one of the world’s great cities, and you know it goes at a slower pace as is evidenced by its most famous site… https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/2019/09/21/acropolis-later/
While you all know by now… I am Medallion Man. And that serves me well on a Princess ship.
