The Essence of Egypt

Sail the Nile Through Antiquity & Everyday Life on an Intimate Journey of Discovery

Egypt: Ancient, contemporary, eternal. One of the world's most storied travel destinations, it draws pilgrims mesmerized by its stunning monuments—grand temples and tombs, pyramids and colonnades, layers of history stretching back millennia into the realm of myth and wonder. Yet the magic of Egypt lies beyond these enduring structures, finding its source in the Egyptians of today—the people whose daily lives we encounter through the relationships we have built—farmers, fishers, potters, purveyors—living in vital neighborhoods and villages inevitably linked by the Nile River, the lifeblood threading the country together, then and now. Join us on a journey through time as we travel from the metropolis of Cairo and sail up the Nile River to Luxor and Aswan, and a host of small villages in between.
