Information
With sand-covered tombs, austere pyramids and towering Pharaonic
temples, Egypt brings out the student in all of us. Visit the Valley of
the Kings in Luxor, where Tutankhamun’s tomb was unearthed, and see the
glittering finds in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Hop off a Nile boat to
visit Dendara, Edfu or one of the other waterside temples, cross Lake
Nasser to see Ramses II’s masterpiece at Abu Simbel, or trek into the
desert to find the traces of Roman trading outposts. You never know –
your donkey might stumble across yet another find, for that is the way
many previous discoveries were made.
