Ancient Egypt: A Two Hour Tour up the Nile

Whether you are planning a trip to Egypt, have an interest in learning about Ancient Egypt or just want to escape from the Ottawa winter for a couple of hours, this one-session course is for you! From the shores of the Mediterranean Sea at Alexandria, past the Pyramids of Giza and the Valley of the Kings at Luxor, to the imposing desert cliffs at Aswan, our journey up the Nile will provide a glimpse into the history, archaeology and culture of Ancient Egypt. This audio-visual travelogue will introduce you to some of the wonders of Egypt without having to leave your seat.
