Two Weeks in Eternal Egypt
Egypt today is in political and social turmoil. This is no time to head over there as a tourist. But what about a literary tour, from the days before the dangers of the current situation? TWO WEEKS IN ETERNAL EGYPT will take you there and bring you back safe-and-sound.
One of the most fabulous travel destinations on earth has always been Egypt. In former centuries, a trip to Egypt was adventure travel, but in our time it has become group tourism. You no longer go alone, you go along.
What would a group tour of Egypt be like? TWO WEEKS IN ETERNAL EGYPT is the narrative of a modern Grand Tour of the country, setting off from Cairo, proceeding to the Pyramids and Sphinx, Aswan and Abu Simbel, a cruise of the Nile down to Thebes and Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, and on to the Red Sea and up to Alexandria on the Mediterranean. The almost-all of Egypt, presented with enough historical background and cultural context to make sense of the sights.
Unlike going solo, the experience of group travel includes extensive social interactions, both with the members of the group and with the locals. Travel is an experience of people, as well as of places.
As the author corrects the stereotype of the ancient Egyptians as death-obsessed, so he corrects the image of modern Egyptians as Muslim fanatics. He expresses warm appreciation of the Egyptians, admiring their wholesome family life, enlightened child rearing, belief in education, and self-helping enterprising spirit.
A travel guide, geography, history, and sociology, TWO WEEKS IN ETERNAL EGYPT is presented in the form of light literary entertainment. This is the experience of Egypt, fabulous still.
