Where to walk in Egypt
- Alexandria (2 tours): Alexander the Great's city on the Mediterranean, once the most brilliant in the world, home to the greatest library of antiquity and to the Pharos lighthouse. Most of the ancient Greek city is drowned or buried, but Alexandria still faces its sea: a vast new library rises on the harbour, a lone granite column and underground catacombs mark the ancient town, and a harbour fort stands on the site of the lost wonder. Read a city that remembers being the centre of the world, at your own pace.
- Cairo (3 tours): Egypt's vast capital on the Nile, where the pyramids and the Sphinx stand on the desert edge of the city, the medieval lanes of Islamic Cairo run mosque to mosque along one ancient street, and a quiet old Christian quarter shelters inside a Roman fort. Read the Giza plateau, thread the great bazaar and the gates of the medieval city, and step down into the oldest, quietest churches in Egypt. Best taken slowly, at your own pace.
- Luxor (2 tours): The ancient city of Thebes on the Nile, called the world's greatest open-air museum. On the east bank rise the colossal temples of Karnak and Luxor, linked by a reopened avenue of sphinxes; across the river, where the sun set, the pharaohs hid their tombs in the Valley of the Kings and raised grand temples to keep their names alive. Read the greatest temple-city of antiquity and the hidden land of the royal dead, at your own pace.
