what are the similarities and differences?

How is the Mississippi river cruise compared to the Nile river cruise? 
The Mississippi river cruise is often compared to the Nile river cruise.They are both some of the biggest rivers in the world, but are anything but similar.
This is Egypt's average monthly temperatures
The Mississippi river is the largest river in North America,at 2,300 miles. while the river Nile, is the largest river in the world at 6,650 miles. The length is a big difference as there is a 4,350 mile difference between them.

Also, the length of the cruise is very different. as the river Nile is longer than the Mississippi river, it takes longer, to travel down the river, therefore making the river Nile cruise longer. And as Egypt and North America are two very different countries, the climate is going to be significantly different. As Egypt has different good weather seasons to North America the times you go on your cruise will be different for each country. Finally the last difference is the flow of the river. the river Nile travels north towards the mediterranean sea. Whereas the Mississippi river flows south towards the Mississippi delta and into the Atlantic ocean. making the river cruises very different.

But the two river cruises are also very similar, Because both cruises offer amazing sights. In Egypt the sights  from the pyramids to the Valley of the Kings. And in north America the surrounding wildlife and plants that surround the river.As you can see in Image 1 and 2 both cruises have stunning views, and places to see,but are different to each other.
