Gaze at the colossal temple of Abu Simbel, as the morning light gilds the ancient stones, while on the Nile a boatman guides an elegant felucca into the current. Savor the profound silence that inhabits the greatest monuments of ancient Egypt—the immensity of the pyramids, the magnificent Valley of the Kings, and the enigmatic Sphinx. Their history is told in the life-giving waters of the Nile as it runs from Lake Victoria in Uganda to the Mediterranean. In Cairo, be astounded by the city’s fabulous mosques, fascinating museums, and fabled markets buzzing with electricity.
