Nile Cruises

R. S. Horus Tours offers Nile Cruises and is one of a few American companies listed on the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism website, our company, R. S. Horus Tours, is an American company owned and managed by Dr. Richard Strick. Having been in business for over twenty years, our company has developed numerous affiliations and is now affiliated with Skyline Tours in Cairo, Egypt, Vanas Tours in Athens, Greece, Sisan Tours in Istanbul Turkey, and Travelers International in Amann, Jordan. On our tours you do and see more, and go to places that few tourists ever see. "WE ARE NEVER IN A HURRY" is our motto. Our excursions, such as our Nile Cruises, are comprehensive, slow paced and relaxing. Our unusual tours are more comprehensive and affordable than others because we are a small company. As our motto says, "We are never in a hurry". Certainly not on our Nile cruises. On our tours, expect to go inside the Great Pyramid, explore the tombs of the workers, travel to Armana, the city built by the heretic Pharoah Akenhaten. You can also explore the pyramids at Dashur and enter the first true pyramid built in Egypt. Most other companies never go to these sites.

Visit gallery after gallery of treasures from ancient Egypt. Explore the Museum. Visit the treasures of King Tut. Visit the mummy room where the 18th and 19th dynasty pharaohs rest. Relax. Enjoy. Take your time. You can visit Memphis, the ancient capital of this land. Also, explore Sakkara, where we explore the Step Pyramid, the Pyramid of Unus, with its great secret, the tombs of the nobles and the 1st and 2nd dynasty tombs of the earliest pharaohs. Most companies do only the Step Pyramid. Another exciting visit is Luxor. Explore the valley of the Kings, Queens, the Temple of Hatshepsut, Tombs of the nobles, and the strangest tomb, the tomb of Ramose. Much of the previously mentioned places most tourists never see. We explore, on some excursions, nine out of the twelve tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Most companies do three. If you wish to explore the remaining we will make arrangements for you to do so. If possible, we will open the Tomb of Seti l, the most magnificent tomb in the Valley. It can be opened on occasion.

Enjoy exploring the Temples of Karnak and Luxor. Both of these are among the finest example of New Kingdom architecture. You will wonder how they ever built these. You'll explore temples of Ramesses the Great. Also, sail along the great river in the luxury of a cruise ship. Vacation at the Red Sea. Visit Saint Catherine’s Monastery, often called the undiscovered jewel of travel, and Mount Sinai. Visit Alexandria, Khan-El-Khalili Bazaar, built in the 14th century. Everything is for sale. Our company as well goes to Petra in Jordan. Once a great commercial city of the ancient world it was abandoned and rediscovered in the 19th century. Today it is Jordan’s major tourist attraction. Many don't know that it was the “lost city” in the Indiana Jones movie, “The Last Crusade”.
