Egypt, Jordan, Israel & Morocco
Three giant Pyramids rest on a blanket

of sand. So simple, yet so complex.
But there’s so much more to Egypt —
massive temples dedicated to gods and
pharaohs revered as much in death as
in life. Cruise the Nile and view the
spectacle lining the river banks. Tour
the tombs and temples and watch
a pictorial history unfold in their
hieroglyphics. These architectural
marvels have carried the mysteries of
ancient Egypt down through the ages.
The legacy of Jordan transcends
time. Here you’ll find Petra, carved
from rose-red sandstone, the region’s
importance as a caravan crossroads.
And then there’s Israel: a tiny strip of
land along the Mediterranean that,
in one guise or another, has been a
historic giant for more than 2,000
years. Morocco takes visitors back to a
slower time of mint tea in cool court
yards and sun-drenched bazaars selling
everything from hand-knitted carpets
to brass platters.
