A tour of Egypt is a journey back into time. It is the gift of the Nile, creating a narrow fertile strip of land 600 miles long in an immensity of desert–and resulting in the colossal achievements of the Egyptian civilization. CAIRO The center of Egyptian life for 1,000 years, Cairo is the largest city in Africa. The heart of the city lies on the east bank. This area contains most of the modern hotels, the shopping and business districts, the Old City of Cairo, the Islamic Cairo, the Citadel and the Khan el-Khalili bazaar. On the west bank, only a few miles from the center of the city, lie the Pyramids of Giza.
NILE CRUISE On a Nile cruise, you will spend three to four nights on a luxury boat visiting ancient temples, tombs and treasures of the past. The boats usually sail from Luxor to Aswan or vice versa.
