Often heralded as the “Cradle of Civilization,” this amazing river is one of those places you can go to feel closer to humanity and a common ancestry that many people throughout the world share. We all grew up learning about the power, beauty and impact that the Nile River had over the ancient Egyptian cultures that first held the area as residence, but seeing the river up close and actually feeling the water helps facilitate a feeling of connectedness to the civilization that eventually blossomed into our current technological and societal ways of life.

With the beautiful city of Cairo being located right where all the tributaries meet, the city makes a perfect destination for those looking to get the most out of their Nile River adventures.
