2009-2010: Ancient Wonders of Egypt & the Nile: River Tosca
Only in Egypt are there so many ancient wonders to see-the Sphinx, the great pyramids, and the Valley of the Kings, to name only a few. Explore the mysterious city of Cairo where the ancient and the modern coexist in harmony. Come face to face with the towering Sphinx. Take in the extraordinary sight of the sole survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the 4,000-year-old Great Pyramid of Giza. Let yourself be whisked away to the magnificent monuments of Luxor and the spectacular Karnak Temple complex.
Sail on board Uniworld's newest ship, the ultra-luxurious River Tosca, where you'll travel in style the way pharaohs and their queens once did as you discover such extraordinary sights as the grand Hatshepsut Temple and Colossi of Memnon. Explore Alexandria, the steamy setting of Cleopatra and Mark Anthony's romantic saga. Delve deep inside the rock-cut Catacombs that commonly strike awe into the hearts and minds of the architecturally minded. Finally, enjoy the Roman Theatre and El-Mursi Abul-Abbas Mosque before transferring back to Cairo.
Who will enjoy this cruise: Architecture fans will be enthralled by a grand collection of mysterious Egyptian-style structures that have had a powerful influence on today's building standards. Photographers can capture an endless mix of timeless artifacts and ancient wonders.
