Wonders never cease... from visiting the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid to “Egyptian Night” aboard Nile Adventurer
Belonging to the ages...
Connecting with the past is much more than learning names or dates, or how tall or how old a historic structure is. In Tauck’s Egypt and Jordan, it’s all about listening to the “wisdom of the ancients,” interpreted by Egyptologists and experts whose knowledge and passion transport you to another time as you follow in the footsteps of those who have gone before. It’s emerging from a narrow, twisting canyon to see the spellbinding city of Petra rising dramatically out of a red sandstone cliff, and wondering what it might have been like to have been a part of its creation all those centuries ago. It’s gazing at an intricate gold necklace glittering in a display case at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, trying to picture the delight on the face of its royal owner as she slipped it on for the first time. It’s attempting to decipher an ancient petroglyph carved into the lunar-like outcroppings of Wadi Rum, the “Valley of the Moon,” after a bumpy but fun ride across the desert in a 4 X 4. It’s transforming into a Roman citizen on a stroll among the colonnaded streets, theater, baths and hilltop temples of Jerash.
