when this small group of travelers will view exquisite art designed to
work magic, to guide mortals in the afterlife, and to stir souls with
its beauty. From Cairo to Abu Simbel, the group will discover 3,000
years of Egyptian life and death along the Eternal Nile while visiting
the magnificent Egyptian Antiquities Museum in Cairo - with the
Treasures of Tutankhamon, the royal mummies and more. They'll
experience the Great Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza, the pyramids at
Dahshur and Saqqara, the ancient temples and tombs at Luxor and Thebes,
the tomb of Tutankhamon and others in the Valleys of the Kings and
Queens. They will visit the immense temples at Abu Simbel built by
Ramesses the Great to dominate Nubia.

>We will drive from Cairo through middle Egypt to Akhetaten (the Horizon
of the Aten), the rarely visited site of king Akhenaten's sacred city,
now called Amarna - and to the tomb of the "heretic" king, Akhenaten
himself.

>
>This group will also experience those rarely visited sites missed by
other groups: the temple at Abydos, with the famous King List and the
Osireion, believed to be a cenotaph for the god Osiris or by some, the
entrance to the underworld. Then there is the temple at Dendera, with
the astrological ceiling. We'll also be enchanted by the beautiful
private tombs at Qurna, Aswan and El Kab.
