| Port Said, Egypt |
| From Port Said at the entrance to the Suez Canal, an optional tour takes you to Egypt's capital of Cairo and the ancient monuments of Giza and the Pyramids. More than 18 million people are jammed into the teeming city split by the River Nile. In Cairo's famed Egyptian Museum, be dazzled by the multi-colored sarcophagus and golden mask of King Tut. At the desert's edge in Giza, the Great Pyramids of Cheops and the staring face of the Sphinx offer up a whole new perspective on eternity. |
