- Impression of Egypt along the Nile. More detailed videos of the 7-day Nile Cruise: • 🇪🇬 Nile Cruise (Egypt)
Egyptian civilization have depended on the river Nile since ancient times. Most of the population and cities of Egypt lie along the Nile valley north of Aswan. Silt deposits from the Nile made the surrounding land fertile because the river overflowed its banks annually. The Ancient Egyptians cultivated and traded wheat, flax, papyrus and other crops around the Nile. The Nile was also a convenient and efficient means of transportation for people and goods. Nearly all the cultural and historical sites of Ancient Egypt are found along river banks.
The Nile was an important part of ancient Egyptian spiritual life and considered to be a causeway from life to death and the afterlife. The east was thought of as a place of birth and growth, and the west was considered the place of death. Thus, all tombs were west of the Nile, because the Egyptians believed that in order to enter the afterlife, they had to be buried on the side that symbolized death.

For detailed information about each monument see the description of each individual video: • 🇪🇬 Nile Cruise (Egypt)
Except for:
The Colossi of Memnon (51:16) are two massive stone statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who reigned in Egypt during the Dynasty XVIII. For the past 3,400 years (since 1350 BC), they have stood in the Theban Necropolis, located west of the River Nile from the modern city of Luxor. Two shorter figures are carved into the front throne alongside his legs: these are his wife Tiye and mother Mutemwiya. The side panels depict the Nile god Hapy.
The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities (55;30), known commonly as the Egyptian Museum, in Cairo-Egypt, is home to an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities. It has 120,000 items, with a representative amount on display, the remainder in storerooms. It houses the world's largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities.
Part of the collection will be moved to the new Grand Egyptian Museum set to open in 2020. It will house Tutankhamun's complete collection of between 4000 and 5000 artefacts, many of which are undergoing restoration and have never been displayed; the vast collection we have viewed at the old museum represents only about a third of the whole. The Grand Egyptian Museum is located on 50 hectares at Giza, two kilometres from the Grand Pyramids. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo will remain open.

You can. Just book a ticket and go!

I went and spent 12 days in Egypt and on the Nile cruise in 2013 when they had major political turmoil in Cairo .i traveled alone on the tour and had the best time ever..
My photos of me in the place's shown here are of me and no other tourist's has they stayed away at this time.
The guides were brilliant.the people wonderful.
Would do it again in a heart beat.💞💞💞👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Thank you so much for the video. I am planning a trip to Egypt inOctober 2021, and your video is an excellent source of what to expect.
Went?
Lovely music.
Wish I could just book a flight ,board a plane and be there.
Great video - I have been to Egypt twice, best country I have been to; lovely people with a great sense of humour, and you certainly know you have been abroad.
Amazing to think all those kings and queens traveled that same route you're taking. Walked on those same stones. So close, yet centuries apart. This is definitely something I hope to do at least once in my lifetime.
Good show. Well information. Well show. Good information.
Excellent video, I’m glad you never talked through it, I could just soak it in Many thanks
Thank you very much for this amazing video!
Krásné poznávací video 👍👏

India and Egypt
Thousands years old great culture and civilisation
your videos is just amazing i would like to recommend nice egyptian music you will really like it ( DLD ayoub sister ya zain) i like the music on your video and the landscape and everyhing as egyptian i am really grateful for your awesome vlogs i saw my country again but with a diffrent kind of spirit on your videos i really appreciate your efforts .
I appreciate your comment, especially coming from an Egyptian. Egypt's (spiritual) culture is very special I think.
Amo el Egipto Antiguo..lleno misticismo y misterio ❤️😘
I must say your videos of Egypt are the best! I've been preparing for my trip and been binge watching all videos about Egypt. Most of these vloggers are just plain annoying, playing loud obnoxious music, making weird noises (smacking lips, breathing too hard on mic) where I cannot enjoy or finish watching the vlogs.
But your videos are amazing, relaxing and informative without all the annoyance of most ppl here on TH-cam.
Thank you.
I Love Egypt
What is the music that is heard during the part of the karnak temple??
Leaving tomorrow sad I didn’t see this a lot sooner, relieved it’s not that bad these other wild I guess adventurous types post horror travel
My country fantastic
Hello,

I would love to do that
Wat onwijs veel informatie! Echt heel mooi gemaakt :-)
Schrok wel van de drukte op sommige plekken. Zeker Abu Simbel...
Was het ondanks het groep/tour verband makkelijk om even wat afstand te nemen van de groep voor films/foto's? Ik fotografeer graag, en wacht gerust even voor een foto met minder mensen. Vond u dit goed te doen?
Nogmaals bedankt voor de mooie indruk!!
Bedankt voor je leuke reactie, Kathinka. Ik denk dat het voor een deel afhangt van de gids. Wij hadden daarbij geluk. De normale procedure was uitleg aan het begin bij een monument, met daarna tijd om rond te lopen (45-60 min). Maar onze (Egyptische) gids gaf ons ook de vrijheid om niet bij de uitleg aanwezig te zijn en direct zelf te verkennen. Ik heb daar gebruik van gemaakt zodat ik meer tijd had om te filmen. De meeste mensen niet want de uitleg (in het Nederlands) was altijd de moeite waard. Maar ja, soms moet je keuzes maken en voor mij kwam het filmen op de eerste plaats. Wat de drukte betreft, onze gids vertelde dat het toerisme in Egypte weer aan het opkomen is dus verwacht nog meer drukte. Ik vind zelfs dat we hebben geboft met de drukte door de goede planning van onze gids Essam: th-cam.com/video/IRL4szkkTcc/w-d-xo.html
@@StuartsTRAVELvideos Heel erg bedankt voor uw antwoord. Pff dus vooral voorbereiden op drukte! Normaliter regel ik alles zelf en zorg ik dat we als eerste ergens zijn, of heel heel vroeg haha maar met zo'n nijlcruise lijkt het me niet handig alles zelf te regelen. Ik hoop dat wij die vrijheid ook zullen hebben, lang stilstaan kan ik sowieso niet met mijn rug. Heeft u nog goede tips? Hoop stiekem dat die dam te skippen is, vond dat een minder interessant stukje haha
Voordat we bij Corendon hebben geboekt hebben we naar opties gekeken van een Nijlcruise op maat. De conclusie was dat je uiteindelijk ongeveer dezelfde cruise krijgt met dezelfde (standaard) bestemmingen, maar dan met privé begeleiding/gids. Wat het nadeel is dat je continu een gids om je heen hebt. En véél meer betaald. Net zoals jij zouden we bepaalde bestemmingen hebben geschrapt, maar achteraf waren we blij dat ze in het pakket zaten. In Egypte kun je niet veilig zelfstandig reizen of autorijden, je hebt altijd begeleiding nodig. De Nijlcruise met Corendon was één van onze beste vakanties. Een aanrader, zeker voor het geld. Juist door de georganiseerde groepsreis was het relaxt. Stel je in op de drukte en wellicht valt het allemaal mee. Er blijven hoogst waarschijnlijk genoeg mooie momenten over. De dam was zeker niet het hoogtepunt van de reis maar we zijn niet lang gebleven. De dam is wel een belangrijk onderdeel geweest van de Egypte geschiedenis en ontwikkeling. Mijn tips? Laat het los. Go with the flow. :-)
@@StuartsTRAVELvideos Ik heb inderdaad ook intensief onderzoek gedaan. En die prive dingen werden mij ook te duur.
Van alle aanbieders deed Corendon ook nog de leukste plekken aan! Dus we gaan het inderdaad zien. Het zal sowieso onvergeetelijk worden ;-)
Nogmaals bedankt voor uw uitgebreide video! Echt zo fijn om alles even zo te zien! En natuurlijk bedankt voor alle antwoorden :-D
Graag gedaan!
Hey Stuart! What year did you go and how much was your trip? Where did you book..I am planning one to Egypt..
Hello Molly, the answers are in the description of the video.
مصر: نيل(اسوان،لوكسور، القاهرة و جدآ اخر)!!
Hey Stuart, long time no chat. Loved the film. I’ve been planning to go down to Aswan since we were there in ‘86 and ‘87. Great shots, though I would definitely have got a BCU on the donkey riding it’s mother. 😂 Paul
Thanks, Paul. I still follow you and your family on YT. I'm glad that you are still healthy and enjoy eating out. :-) We wanted to go on a Nile cruise for a long time but felt Egypt wasn't safe enough. Then, in 2019, it felt the right time. A good decision of course, as the corona pandemic started in 2020. Because of that we will not be flying any time soon but will go on holiday by car in Europe. And that's fine with me. Take care!
@@StuartsTRAVELvideos I’d love to chat sometime, compare notes!
How did you get to Egypt? Whom was the tour organiser? Where do people buy the video and photo permits?
The tour organiser is mentioned in the description. The video or photo permit can be bought with the entrance ticket.
@@StuartsTRAVELvideos Thanks for the reply - I am planning a cruise for October. I will contact the tour organiser today - I missed the tour organiser's name when looking at your text first time around. My biggest problem was finding flights to/from Luxor from northern Europe - I do not want to fly with EgyptAir as I 'need a drink' when flying for five (5) hours.
Hi, can I pls ask which camera did you use to film this video?
Hello, it's mentioned in the description ;-)

I watched the video and thank you for posting. I just found the amateur transitions annoying. jump cuts would have been much better with not so many crossfades.
Egito magnífico

สวัสดี 🙏
Make me satisfy before having time to visit there
What is the song at 56:25??

Through alone.
Debería decir el año que se construyeron los templos...
Los templos de Luxor y Karnak datan de 2000 años antes de Cristo.
7000 years ago
How much is the cost for the entire tour? These are great places to visit, planning to visit Egypt very soon
Это моя мечта
Egypt is the most dangerous place for tourists in the world. Read up on the recent case of Giulio Regeni, the poor Italian university student who was abducted off the street by egypian police and ended up repeatedly tortured and homosexually raped by the local police chief, before being finally murdered and his body dumped by the same police who abducted him. The real horror is that Regeni was just one, while egyptian lawyers and activists state that at least twenty thousand young egyptians suffer a similar fate at the hands of egyptian military and police EVERY YEAR. For God's sake, do not let your young people travel to this mad, cruel, corrupt country, run by thugs and perverts. Do not go there yourself. Once the police decide to abduct you, to rob, rape or whatever, your chances of getting out alive are negligible. Read up on the Regeni case. The police lied repeatedly and refused to co-operate with international investigations. But the truth got out, in piecemeal fashion, in the end. But, the horror is in the real numbers of more than twenty thousand Egyptian Regenis who die awful deaths EVERY YEAR in this sick, and dangerous nest of perverts and thugs.
You keep saying lies , Egypt is safe and millions are coming every year and they have great memories . I am wondering what is the reason after spending more than half an hour to write your stupid comment ? Who paid you to write that .

No commentaries. Lack of the slightest description. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING !
More detailed videos of each ancient monument (with description) will follow in the months to come.
Not at all disappointing without commentary, thanks for a great video!
