  The meeting of a robed horseman leading his camels across the desert sand, framed by the great pyramids of Giza brings a voice from the past ... and the beginning into 5,000 years of human history. In Cairo we will visit the Egyptian Museum, see life on the streets, and explore old Cairo with it's many markets. Explore the city of Luxor and visit an "antique" photographer. Visit Aswan High Dam to get a view of Lake Nassar, the world's largest man-made lake.
