WONDERS OF THE NILE: RIVIERA TRAVEL


Egypt is the stuff of dreams for history lovers and there’s nothing so magical as exploring its ancient remnants from Africa’s most legendary river. Riviera Travel has a 15-day voyage exploring the key sights, from the Great Pyramids of Giza to once-powerful ancient cities, hieroglyph-filled temples to tombs dedicated to entire dynasties of pharaohs. Among the highlights are Luxor, where a cluster of ornate stone colonnades mark out the former capital, and Karnak, whose origins date back to 2000BC. But the main event has to be the iconic Valley of the Kings and the many ancient sites that surround it (pictured), home to the elaborate tombs of pharaohs and their


treasures, including the illustrious Tutankhamun. Book it: From £3,640 per person including all meals, transfers, excursions and flights. rivieratravel.co.uk
