Dear UCLA Alumni and Friends,

Explore Egypt on an exciting and unique new itinerary including a cruise on both the Nile River and less-er explored Lake Nasser. And enjoy two nights in Alexandria, one of antiquity’s most illustrious cities.Our tour will be accompanied by a professional tour director who is an expert Egyptologist.

Your journey begins in Cairo with its renowned ancient sites: the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx,Memphis, Sakkara, Old Cairo and the Egyptian Museum. Then, relax during a deluxe cruise on LakeNasser, where the country’s fascinating Nubian history unfolds. Along the desert shores of this vast man-made lake, you’ll visit ancient temples and monuments salvaged during the construction of the AswanHigh Dam. The most famous of these is Abu Simbel, dating to 13th century BC.

A classic Nile voyage takes you from Aswan to Luxor, with its acclaimed temples and tombs representing thepinnacle of Egyptian architecture. Here, Egyptian civilization’s intriguing cosmology is revealed as you visitthe Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens on the Nile’s West Bank. And on the East Bank, visitKarnak, arguably the greatest temple complex of them all. Depart from Luxor for the final leg of your jour-ney in the Mediterranean port of Alexandria. Those who wish may join a 5-day/4-night post-tour extensionto Jordan to visit both fabled Petra and the capital of Amman.

Call me personally if you have any questions about Egypt. Having had the great pleasure of experiencingthis destination myself last year, I can assure you’ll get a broad understanding of Egypt’s complex history onthis 17-day trip. We operated three sold-out departures in 2009, so respond quickly to reserve your space.

Sincerely,

Christel Pailet For information, contact us at 310-206-0613Director, Alumni Travel or 800-UCLAlumni (825-2586).
