Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2020 | In this hour-long special, Rick Steves explores the historic and cultural wonders of Egypt. In Cairo, we climb into a pyramid, greet the Sphinx, and marvel at King Tut’s gold. In Alexandria, we wander back lanes and stroll a Mediterranean promenade. In Luxor, we revel in the pharaohs' temples and hidden tombs. And after a timeless cruise on the Nile, we finish at the temple ruins of Abu Simbel.
