Egypt

October, 2009 (check back soon for more details)

“Nowhere are there so many marvelous things,” said the Greek historian Herodotus, “nor in the whole world beside are there to be seen so many things of unspeakable greatness.” Visiting this land of pharaohs and pyramids, ancient temples and tombs carved into the sand – some hidden for centuries, is a unique and wonderful experience. As you explore this ‘gift of the Nile’ by car, camel and ship, you’ll be dazzled by constant reminders of its regal past and vibrant present. Highlights include Cairo with the pyramids and enigmatic sphinx, a Nile Cruise, amazing Luxor and Aswan, snorkeling at Sharm el Sheik and birding at Ras Mohammed National Park and Fayoum Oasis, a visit to St. Catherine’s Monastery, and much, much more. An optional extension to Nabatean, ancient Petra carved out of the rock, and Roman ruins in Jordan, rounds out this incredible adventure.
