November 5-19, 2018
An Exclusive Small Group Tour for Alumni, Parents, and Friends of Rice University
Featuring Associate Professor Lisa Balabanlilar, Department of History
15 days for $4,497 total price from Houston($3,995 air, land & cruise inclusive plus $502 airline taxes and fees)
Dear Rice alumni, parents, and friends,
Join us on an exciting 15-day journey to Egypt. Led by an expert Egyptian guide, witness thousands of years of history on a unique itinerary. We are pleased to have Lisa Balabanlilar, Associate Professor in the Department of History at Rice University, lead this compelling journey.
Begin in Egypt’s capital and largest city, Cairo, with its renowned ancient sites: the Egyptian Museum, the Sphinx, Sakkara, and the Pyramids of Giza. Relax during a three-night cruise on Lake Nasser, during which you visit ancient temples and monuments salvaged during the construction of the Aswan High Dam. Then, after a tour of the Aswan High Dam, a classic Nile voyage includes visits to Edfu’s Temple of Horus and Luxor’s acclaimed temples and tombs. Here, explore the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens; then visit Karnak, arguably the greatest temple complex of them all. Conclude your tour back in Cairo with a visit to the lively Khan el-Khalili bazaar and exploration of Old Cairo.
With space for only 25 Rice-affiliated guests in total, we expect this tour to fill quickly. Book today and secure your place on this remarkable journey!
Warm regards,
Dan Stypa Associate Director of Alumni Programs Office of Alumni Relations
