Travel: Nile cruise

"I had never really thought of us as ideal candidates for a cruise. Apart from being about 30 years too young, the long time spent on the water, the too-brief visits to dry land and the communal nature of life on board had never appealed. But then we decided to fill a big hole in our travelling CV and visit Egypt. With barely a week to spare and a long list of ancient sites to see, three nights on the Nile followed by a few days in Cairo made sense. Besides, maybe a river cruise would be more of a cruising-lite version.
Luxor was our starting point, the beginning or the end of the line for the 300 or so craft that ply the route between it and Aswan further upstream. We had to walk through one unremarkable vessel to get to the Sun Boat IV - our home for the next three nights - and it felt like stepping out of a Ford into a Mercedes."
