Grand Egypt: In the Footsteps of Agatha Christie Plus Jordan & the Rose-Red City of Petra - October 2021

Pharaohs! Ancient Merchants! Roman Conquerors! Victorian Explorers! Archaeologists! Tomb Raiders! Please join us in October 2021 for a 12-night illuminating journey. Extend the magic of the region with the addition of a 4-night visit to Jordan and the spectacular rose-colored city of Petra. Adventurers have marveled at Egypt’s natural beauty and historic treasures for centuries. From the Great Pyramids of Giza – already 2,500 years old when Cleopatra was born – to the villages along the Nile Valley, and the famed River Nile itself, you revel in the country’s regal and daring past. Stand in awe where Alexander the Great, Cleopatra, Julius Caesar and Napoleon each stood long ago. Begin in Cairo with three nights at the elegant Four Seasons Nile Plaza. Your private Egyptologist will show you the city’s highlights and immerse you in the past and present culture of Egypt. Next is Luxor with a two-night stay at the Old Winter Palace Hotel. Here, discover Karnak and Luxor Temples as well as the Valley of the Kings and King Tutankhamon’s famous tomb. A special bonus is a private visit to Queen Nefertari’s Tomb, reputed to be the most beautiful of all Pharaonic tombs. No Egyptian experience is complete without a meandering 4-night voyage on the River Nile. Sail in tranquil style aboard a traditional Dahabiya featuring twin lateen sails, charming accommodations, superb cuisine and impeccable service. In Aswan, capital of ancient Nubia, luxuriate in the resplendent Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Hotel. Lounge in the very hotel where Agatha Christie wrote Death on the Nile. Dine in the 1902 Restaurant featured as the Grand Ballroom in the film version of the book. A highlight is your visit to stunning Abu Simbel, Ramses the Great’s massive monument to himself and his favorite wife, Queen Nefertari.
