This exciting trip will explore the profound impact that the Ancient Egyptians have had on our modern culture.

As Americans we tend to think of ourselves as the inheritors of a Graeco-Roman-European cultural and intellectual tradition, but there is an older, and deeper influence, that gave the world a surprising number of things: from bricks to medicine and monotheism, Pharoanic Egypt had a profound impact on the ancient world. Greece, Rome, Israel and the entire Mediterranean were deeply affected by Egyptian culture and accomplishment. This unique and stimulating tour will delve deeply into these influences to create an experience that is provocative, enlightening and fun.

INCLUDES: A specially arranged private visit inside the Great Pyramid, private entrance to the Sphinx Enclosure, a private presentation by Dr. Zahi Hawass Egypt's famed Inspector General of Antiquities, and many more EXCLUSIVE EXTRAS!

From exclusive site visits, four or five-star accommodations to opportunities to learn from the world's greatest experts in their fields, "The Spirit of Ancient Egypt" is an incredible adventure that will challenge, enlighten and inform you.
