For many of us, Egypt is a place we long to visit from the time we start to explore the world in our imaginations. The temples, tombs and monuments that you see today bear eloquent witness to the miracles that were accomplished through genius and hard work so many years ago. Please join the Wisconsin Alumni Association on this remarkable 10-day journey for a close-up look at Egypt’s history and culture.
You’ll explore the Pyramids and Sphinx, the tombs at Sakkara, and see some of the monuments that testify to Cairo’s rich history. In Upper Egypt we’ll visit the Valley of the Kings, the Tombs of the Nobles and the Temple of Karnak, where you’ll see the beautiful Sound and Light Show, and at Abu Simbel you’ll see the colossal temples of Ramses II. Along the way, you’ll stay in excellent accommodations — a beautiful Nile cruise ship and excellent, superbly located hotels and former palaces.
