Hello hello, As I drift along the Nile on a crisp December morning, the weight of time feels especially poignant. The river flows steadily, just as it has for millennia, its waters witnessing the rise and fall of dynasties, the carving of monuments, and the stories of countless generations. The pace of the Nile is soothing, but it’s also a gentle reminder: time waits for no one. Which brings me to Christmas. Yes, that cheerful yet slightly frantic season of last-minute lists and festive plans. If you’re hoping to give the gift of travel inspiration this year, time is running out for delivery before Christmas.
