With
the cancellation of my upcoming trip to Asia, I’ve decided to visit Egypt in
the spring (click here for the 14-day itinerary). This will be my first trip with the Road Scholar organization, and I’ve always wanted to see the pyramids. I recently took a course in Ancient Egypt for
my teaching credential renewal, and this will be a wonderful way to extend that
knowledge.
The fourteen-day trip includes:
- Expeditions to Saqqara, Dahshur, the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx;
- Visits to the Valley of Kings, King Tut's tomb and the famed Colossiof Memnon; and
- Learning more about ancient Egypt during a four-night study cruise on the Nile.
The trip includes stays in Giza, Alexandria, Cairo, Luxor, Edfu, and Aswan.
I was to visit these sites during my 2015 Around the World
Cruise. Because of security concerns,
all Egyptian excursions were cancelled.
The ship was rerouted to Israel after we transited the Suez Canal. It will be great to see these ancient sites that I missed years ago.
I still want to see the Great Wall of China, but that trip
will have to be for a later date.
