Egypt - Highlights & Discoveries

From:$9,540

Summary

The archaeology of ancient Egypt is one of the most instantly recognisable of all the great civilisations. This is a narrative of power, vision, and ambition. While certain images of Egypt have become familiar, there is no substitute for witnessing at first hand the treasures of Tutankhamun, the timeless pyramids, the quiet intrigue of the hypostyle hall at the Temple of Karnak, the beautiful setting of the Temple of Isis at Philae or the mighty colossi at Abu Simbel. And the monuments of Egypt are much more than dry and dusty stones – through the real expertise of our Guide Lecturers, we ‘meet’ the real ancient Egyptians: from legendary pharaohs to the humble workers, who built their tombs and palaces.

 

The Nile is the dominant feature of Egypt, both ancient and modern, for without it there would be only desert. It has supported human habitation for over 200,000 years and our short river cruise is a wonderful opportunity to witness a way of life in Egypt that has little changed for centuries.
