On this trip, you will gaze in wonder at the colossal statues of Ramses II at the Great Temple in Abu Simbel, stand in awe of towering monuments and dazzling treasures in the new Grand Egyptian Museum, and contemplate the Great Pyramid in Giza, the only remaining Wonder of the Ancient World. But you also will see the vibrant, contemporary culture of Egypt as you revel in the hubbub of Cairo’s old bazaar, where bargaining is elevated to sport, and delight in the natural beauty along the Nile’s banks, a contrast of fertile green valleys and desert beyond.
