EGYPT: JEWELS ALONG THE NILE
Do something life-changing every day in Tauck’s Egypt... like riding a camel at the Pyramids of Giza, and viewing Luxor’s treasures at twilight from a horse-drawn carriage
Eternally Intriguing...
A place of genuine wonder, Egypt is timeless... a mesmerizing blend of age-old legacies and modern contradictions that truly must be seen to be believed. Out of a seemingly endless desert infused with images of adventure and romance rise massive pyramids and monuments, standing side-by-side with a 21st-century metropolis humming with the energy of millions. Today’s Cairo gladly embraces the winds of change, and looks towards a bright future reflected in the welcoming faces of its hopeful people. On the River Nile, the same life-giving waters that have sustained this civilization for countless centuries carry travelers along on an unforgettable cruise to sites overflowing with a spiritual power all their own. Feel their grandeur and hear their stories... of the amazing temples of Luxor and Karnak... the gigantic statues of Ramesses II and Nefertari at Abu Simbel, a gift from a pharaoh to his queen... the labyrinth of royal tombs lying deep beneath the sands in the Valleys of the Kings and Queens. Tauck’s Egypt is richer than ever, fulfilling lifelong dreams of exploring a legendary land pictured in the mind’s eye since childhood – watching a brilliant sunset from aboard a felucca on the Nile... following a story told in hieroglyphs that have adorned a temple wall for 3,000 years... stepping inside the once-hidden tomb of Tutankhamun, the “Boy King”... or riding a camel in the shadow of the Pyramids and the Sphinx.
