AAANOW!
Egypt: Ancient Wonders and More
It’s a land of mysteries – of pharaohs, tombs, hieroglyphic stories, temples and gold. This is Egypt, where the first ancient wonder of the world still beckons newcomers every year to marvel at its majesty. Egypt is so much more than the pyramids, though. Imagine climbing aboard a ship for a cruise along the famous
Nile, while you uncover the mysteries of this beautiful oasis. The Nile’s West Bank is where beauty connects you to ancient history as you explore Thebes. A visit to the Valley of the Kings will take your breath away because this is where you can find the tombs
of Tutankhamen (King Tut) and Ramses VI. Sail on to Edfu where locals excitedly wait to give you a literal taste of the local flavor with a culinary demonstration of Egyptian favorites.
As you dive into ancient wonders and fascinating history, dive in even deeper and be a part of it. Don the traditional garb at a galabeya party. In the Nubian city of Aswan, sit down for
a folklore show complete with a belly dancing performance. Egypt’s culture is as vibrant as its history and for those with wanderlust in their heart, this is a place full of treasure.
Get right up close to the well-preserved Temple of Horus at Edfu. Endless carvings of scenes tell the story of pharaohs. It’s the story of power. Struggle. Love. Grandeur. The carvings are there today so that this story – this history – lives on for new generations to constantly find it, experience the awe and connect to it.
Sail the Nile to Kitchener in style aboard a felucca. This wooden sailboat has a traditional canvas sail; it’s one of those experiences that makes you feel like you’re in a movie – surrounded by beauty all around. Relax at dusk, as the stars dance in the sky above, at the Philae Temple, an architectural wonder and UNESCO World Heritage site.
While Egypt offers up its heart and soul to all those adventurers who visit, experiencing the Pyramids of Giza is that iconic moment – that picture-postcard, bucket-list, once-in-a- lifetime moment. There’s a reason the pyramids are a wonder of the world. Because they are truly a wonder to behold. Imagine a journey that dives into culture and history and culminates in one of the most epic moments of your life?
Nearby the world-famous pyramids lies the Great Sphinx.
Egypt’s treasures are everywhere and are revealed through
these ancient wonders and rich histories. The temples and the tombs. From the Nile to Cairo (and every heart-pounding place in between), Egypt’s treasures are yours for the taking.
