Egypt, the Greek Isles, and the Suez Canal: Sailing Through Antiquity

This stirring journey across ancient lands unites two of the world’s greatest civilizations, Egypt and Greece. Encounter iconic monuments resurrected eons ago as you also witness modern-day life in fishing villages, souks, and museums. Walk in the footsteps of Egypt’s all-powerful pharaohs and gods who gave rise to the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Karnak Temple complex, and of course, the most famous tomb of all, where the boy king Tutankhamun rests. Then embark the National Geographic Explorer to continue discovering this storied region by sea as we transit the Suez Canal into the deep blue of the Mediterranean. Hop among several Greek isles and cap it all off with views from Santorini that will forever be seared in your memory.
