20th September 2011 - Holiday to any place must be planned in accordance to the suitability factors. The most important among those is the climate of the place you intend to visit. If you get hold of an efficient agency, they would give you an insight into every relevant detail. If you are not among those fortunate few then you need to do a thorough analysis of some of the important aspects before going on a journey.
Nile Cruises must also be planned keeping the climate and other necessary details in mind.
The climate of Egypt is mostly hot and humid with sandstorms blowing in most part of the year. The very few months that is favorable for visit to this country is during October to March. The weather is mostly pleasant and not very humid. It is much tolerable than the rest of the year and leave no chances of dehydration in this desert land.
To be on the safe side you must take plenty of bottled drinking water along incase a scarcity arises. Looking at the vast stretch of water all around you it is difficult to assume that a scarcity of water is possible. Despite of being on such gigantic stretch of water, quenching of thirst sometimes becomes difficult. Then you remember some important quotations like ‘water water everywhere but not a drop to drink’.
Although the yacht or the ship meant for cruising is adequately supplied with water but it is unsuitable for drinking. It might be used for taking a shower or other miscellaneous purpose. The ship also has drinking water well in stock but if you run out of them a major problem can arise. One can survive for a sufficient period without food but not without water.
If you want to enjoy Egypt to its plenitude then you must plan one of your Nile Cruises somewhere between October and March. Not just because the climate is suitable but also because the river is free from any locks. You can travel the entire stretch of river Nile during that period. If planned out well your trip can be the most memorable one.
