Description

Stroll with Roberts through Cairo's bustling souk; scale the great pyramid of Cheops and spend the night in an ancient tomb; navigate the Nile with a gaggle of quarrelsome archaeologists; live among the monks in an ancient Coptic monastery; and travel by camel the lonely wastes of the Arabian Desert, where Bedouins still believe the earth is flat.
