Cruise Highlights

History comes alive as we trace the coastlines and view the magnificent legacies of these once mighty empires. Begin with a tour of Cairo’s treasures before we set sail from the legendary port of Alexandria. In Lebanon spend two days exploring the celebrated cities of Byblos and Baalbek. Visit the ruins of Tanis, established by Ramses II, before a daylight transit of the Suez Canal takes us to the resort town of Sharm el Sheikh. We travel overland to the Monastery of
St. Catherine—a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We also spend two days exploring the exquisite temples of Luxor and its impressive royal tombs. In Saudi Arabia, visit Jeddah, the gateway to Mecca. Visit the ruins of Suakin, Sudan, and snorkel or dive in the surrounding waters teeming
with fish. In Eritrea witness Massawa’s eclectic architecture, discover the Dahlak Archipelago’s diverse marine and bird life, and stroll the charming town of Asmara, with its quintessential Italian architecture.
