Measuring 6680km in length, the Nile is the world’s longest river. It brought the nation of Egypt into being and its banks are clustered with the temples and tombs of the country’s illustrious past. Luxor and Aswan are the well-deserved jewels in the crown and few can resist time spent on the water itself with river Nile being a top option when visiting this destination. Jetline can offer a variety of cheap Nile cruises and should be your first stop when planning an adventure to this part of the world.
The Nile has two major tributeries, the White Nile and the Blue Nile, the latter being the source of most of the Nile's water and fertile soil, but the former being the longer of the two. The White Nile rises in the Great Lakes region of central Africa, with the most distant source in southern Rwanda and flows north from there through Tanzania, Lake Victoria, Uganda and southern Sudan, while the Blue Nile starts at Lake Tana in Ethiopia, flowing into Sudan from the southeast. The two rivers meet near the Sudanese capital Khartoum. It is simply a fascinating destination, steeped with history and stories which your river nile cruise will bring to life!
The northern section of the river flows almost entirely through desert, from Sudan into Egypt, a country whose civilisation has depended on the river since ancient times. Most of the population and cities of Egypt, lie along those parts of the Nile valley north of Aswan, and nearly all the cultural and historical sites of Ancient Egypt are found along the banks of the river. The Nile ends in a large delta that empties into the Mediterranean Sea.
