In this hour-long special, Rick Steves sails beyond Europe, exploring Egypt's historic and cultural wonders. In the teeming metropolis of Cairo, we climb to the center of a pyramid, greet the Sphinx, and marvel at King Tut's gold. In the fabled city of Alexandria, we venture through a wonderland of back lanes, enjoy a shisha, and stroll a Mediterranean promenade. In Luxor, we revel in the glories of the pharaohs — their temples and their hidden tombs. And on the Nile, after sailing on a timeless felucca, we upgrade to a riverboat and kick back while enjoying iconic views of palm trees, minarets, and rustic villages. Our finale: Ramesses II's magnificent temple ruins at Abu Simbel. |
