A trip along the Nile in Egypt is without doubt a once in a lifetime holiday experience (unless you do it more than once, which I sincerely hope to one day); but that does not in anyway lessen the impact of this destination, and I will strongly recommend to everybody to take a trip to Egypt to put the human time-line and “ancient” in perspective.
Remarkably in spite of the age of so many of these great monuments they have remained more preserved than expected, due – I suspect – to hot dry climates. In protected areas coloured dyes even remain really giving you an impression of how it once was.
