    [description] => 
Egypt holds a unique place in world history: the deep antiquity of Egyptian civilisation inspires awe in everyone who visits this beautiful country where myth, legend and history converge. Through the midst of the land, with its origins deep in Africa, flows the Nile, the life-giving source of all that created and has sustained Egypt throughout the millennia.  
Nearly two thousand years separate King Narmer, the unifier of Upper and Lower Egypt around 3100 bce, and Ramses II, the pharaoh who built the awe-inspiring temples of Abu Simbel, and it was yet another thousand years before Egypt’s last ruler, Cleopatra VII, took her own life as her kingdom became a province of Rome.
Nowhere in the world have so many ancient monuments survived for so long, on such a scale, and in such fine condition. Discover ancient Egyptian civilisation in the most magnificent historical sites: the Pyramids at Giza, the temples of Luxor (Thebes), and the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, where the pharaohs rest in eternal glory. Explore tranquil Aswan, while enjoying the serene beauty of Nubian culture, and visit Abu Simbel, Temple of Isis at Philae, and the site of the worship of the crocodile-god at Kom-Ombo. The magnificence of Egypt’s temples and tombs is supplemented by an unrivalled collection of ancient artefacts in the many museums scattered throughout Egypt. Get to know the three great museums of Cairo which now hold the country’s most important pharaonic collections: the old, but wonderful, Egyptian Museum at the heart of the city, the Museum of Egyptian Civilization with its royal mummy collection, and the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), standing on the edge of the Giza Plateau.  
As we traverse the ancient paths from Cairo to Aswan and to Luxor, we will meet with pharaohs, queens, and courtiers, and immerse ourselves in the history of the pharaonic past. Egypt captures the imagination like no other destination. This tour provides a rich perspective on the archaeology, history, religion and art of this fascinating ancient civilisation.
