Family Nile Perch Fishing & Nile Cruise Egypt

Similar Holidays
overview
Discover Egypt's secrets. 

Want to experience the real "Jewels of the Nile?" Well this tour is for you, a perfect combination of Egyptian culture and a real Egyptian experience, catching the mighty predators, Nile Perch. First you will have seven days fishing on Lake Nasser with your own boat and guide, for the perfect private fishing safari. You will then get to experience the other fantastic sights and sounds of the Egyptian way of life, past and present, with a luxury 5 star Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. 

Lake Nasser has turned into a magical wilderness of stunning desert scenery with over 100 species of birds, monitor lizards, golden jackals and desert fox. This 360 mile long lake is the greatest venue in the world for wild Nile Perch; when fishing you never know if the next fish is going to be 50lb or over 200lbs. Like many sport fish Nile Perch are great jumpers, launching themselves clear out of the water, gills flared open, shaking their big head and enormous mouth, all in a desperate attempt to shake those hooks. 

Each tour starts and ends in Cairo, where you will be staying in a 5 star Hotel. After a tour of the Pyramids, Sphinx and the main Museum you catch an internal flight to Aswan, from here you will start your 7 day Lake Nasser fishing safari. This is a safari in the true meaning of the term; you will be living it by camping on your boat, literally miles away from any civilization. The stars become your ceiling and a step behind the rocks, your bathroom. On returning to Aswan you then board your 5 star luxury Nile Cruise boat, a fantastic way to see the sights of Egypt, as you gently cruise down the mighty Nile, stopping to take in all the famous sights.
