"Man Fears Time, Time Fears the Pyramids"

Herodotus

Istanbul to Cairo

Starting with a two-night hotel stay in Istanbul, where you will be guided around great sites of the city like Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and the Blue Mosque, this cruise will take you to the ruins of Ephesus, the magical sites of the Holy Land and the only extant of the Seven Wonders of the World. Disraeli said that Jerusalem is the history "of Earth and of Heaven" and, after an unforgettable visit to the sites of this remarkable city including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Dome of the Rock, the inspiration for this quote becomes clear. Your visit to the Holy Land also includes the chance to see Bethlehem and the ancient city of Jaffa. Your journey concludes at the monuments of ancient Egypt including the Pyramids at Giza, Karnak, Valley of the Kings and Alexandria. Recently revised, this spectacular itinerary also includes the amazing UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Byblos & Baalbek in Lebanon.
Includes 2-night hotel stays in Istanbul, Luxor and Cairo.
