The mysteries of Egypt fascinated even ancient travelers from Greece and Rome, who enjoyed gawking at the pyramids and sightseeing at temples along the Nile. A modern trip to do the same and more has just dropped its price for a quickly-approaching May 17th departure.
This 16-day, 15-night trip from Mysticology includes a short cruise along the Nile and sightseeing at many locations - plus the opportunity to commune with the ancients in meditations led by Egyptian-born Gihan Kandeel.
You won't be communing in discomfort, however - the accommodations are all 5-star hotels, something that the luxury-loving ancient Egyptians would probably approve of thoroughly, if King Tut's treasures are any indication.
Air to and from Egypt is not included but transportation within Egypt, including a flight to Aswan, is included. All meals are also covered in the trip price, which is often not the case on these tours, along with all admissions to the sites and events.
List price was $2950; with the last-minute discount, it's US $2550.
