chants bartering in the narrow winding streets of
the knan el-Khalili bazaar; the soft, brightly colored
fabrics of mid-Eastern garb; aromas of spices in the
breeze; and the mesmerizing chants of Moslems at
prayer arouse the senses of all who venture there.
Climbing to the imposing Citadel perched high
above this "City of 1,000 Years," the panoramic
view of Cairo welcomes Explorers.
The first stop on tour is the Egyptian Antiquities
Museum where the world's greatest collection of
mummies, paintings, statues, furniture, and models
aids travelers' comprehension of a past culture. Of
prime interest are the exquisite golden objects en
trusted with gems excavated from the tomb of King
Tutankhamun.
The highlight of the tour is the visit to the great
Pyramids at Giza and the Sphinx, facing east and
awaiting the rising sun. The mysteries of the
pyramids and sphinx unfold in a most fascinating
and entertaining manner during the evening Sound
and Light Performance.
Travel by motor coach to Sakkara, located near
the ancient city of Memphis. This burial ground for
nobility is dominated by a step pyramid predating
those at Giza. Scholars of ancient history have been
greatly enlightened by art objects and engravings
found in this delta. , -
Fly southward to the famous temples at Abu
Simbel. These shrines, commissioned by Ramses II,
were carved into rock cliffs and have been elevated
to a plateau above the flood plain; . . .the greatest
achievement of fifty nations in this century. Pro

the flooding Nile and changed the destiny of Egypt.
