River Nile insider information

• Visit Aswan, the greenest and most attractive town on the Nile. Enjoy a sundowner as you watch the sunset amid the palms and relaxed pace of life.
• See Tomb 66 in the Valley of the Queens, dedicated to Queen Nefertiti, which is said to be the most beautiful in Egypt. In the nearby Valley of the Kings you find King Tut’s tomb, while over on the east side of Luxor, the tourist capital of Egypt, are the amazing temples of Karnak
• Go south to Abu Simbel to marvel at the temples, but also to admire modern archeology. Inside you can see where the stones have been cut, showing that these temples were taken apart in the 1960s and raised out of danger of flooding from Lake Nasser and the Aswan Dam. Awe-inspiring.
