On this Nile odyssey, Egyptologist Zeinb Shawky will bring the wonders of ancient Egypt to life as we journey to the Pyramids and the Sphinx, the Temples of Karnak and Luxor, the tomb of King Tutankhamun, and the Temples at Abu Simbel. We've made special arrangements for access to some of Egypt's most recent archaeological finds and ongoing excavations. This is a rare opportunity to benefit from the Society's deep roots in Egypt and to witness, appreciate, and admire the monuments and mysteries of a civilization more than 7,000 years old. Stand in awe before the imposing figure of the Sphinx.
