Get the feeling of sailing down the longest river in the world, where the Egyptian pharaohs lived and built their temples. The shores are lined with mango trees and date palms. The mountains of Thebes rise in the west behind a narrow fertile strip of soil along the shore. When the temperatures rise to 40° in the summer, the river is an inviting place for a refreshing bath in the Nile. Our German phone number: 0049 178 872 3988

Rooted in history, the practice of offering water to all from Zeer pots in modern Egyptian villages harkens back to ancient times. By harnessing the natural process of evaporation, these simple clay contraptions keep their contents refreshingly cool, even in the scorching desert heat. In a world where innovation often outpaces tradition, the enduring functionality of Zeer pots is a reminder that sometimes, the oldest solutions can still the one of the best.
Every monument tells a story, every site holds a piece of our shared history. Celebrating our world's treasures on World Heritage Day!
Eid Mubarak! Sending warm wishes for a joyous celebration to all who observe this special day.
