Rome’s millennia of rich history and culture have spread monuments, relics of every kind and imposing landmarks. From the Colosseum to Michelangelo’s Pieta in St. Peter’s in the Vatican. Gaze at beautiful churches and grandiose cathedrals. Add to the mix the pleasures of good food, good wine great shopping and…dolce vita. Rome’s history has in time been seduced by Egypt, a country boasting a longer recorded history than any other. Egypt, the Eternal 'Gift of the Nile' as described by the historian Herodotus . Start in Cairo, a city of a thousand minarets and a hundred cupolas, of winding alleys and vaulted passages…and not far away, three large stone sentinels emerge from the desert, the famous pyramids of Giza. Embark on the 5-star deluxe Sonesta Nile Goddess, for a 4-day cruise along the Nile, the river worshipped as a river-god. This river cruise reveals the splendors of dynasty after dynasty of pharaohs. Magic names of legend. Luxor, Karnak, the Valley of the Kings the temple of Queen Hatshepsut the Colossi of Memnon, the Ptolemaic Temple of Horus, the Falcon God. Rejoice at the Temple of Isis at Philae, a temple moved it in its entirety to its present site when it's original location was threatened by the rising waters caused by the High Dam. Experience a felucca (Nile sail boat) ride to the Aga Kahn Mausoleum. This will be a once-in-a-lifetime trip! A romantic journey through space and time.
