Course Description: 

This course takes the students on a journey along the longest river in the world, the Nile, as we travel along its banks from Cairo to Aswan in a captivating trip through the heart of Egypt’s ancient history and modern beauty. 

Starting in Cairo, Egypt’s bustling capital, we will begin by visiting the Pyramids of Giza and witness the greatness of the Ancient Egyptians. 

Our days in Cairo will be packed with lectures, speaker sessions and company visits arranged by the American University in Egypt (AUC), one of the leading universities in the Arab World and our partner and host university. 

The trip will then take its most exciting turn as we travel to upper Egypt, where we will be surrounded by Ancient Egyptian history anywhere we go. In that part of the trip, we will move with the flow of the Nile, south to north, in a cruise ship from Aswan to Luxor. In Aswan we will visit the Nubian Village, Temple of Philae, the Unfinished Obelisk. The trip will continue to Kom Ombo then to Luxor as we explore more stories and secrets about the ancient and current cultures before we head back to the US.
