Cairo
After more than ten years of construction, the Grand Egyptian Museum is finally open for you to explore, and it’s just a stone’s throw away from the Great Pyramids of Giza.
What can you expect? Over a million square feet of display space, including a 40-foot statue of Ramses II, outdoor gardens, and a vast plaza where visitors can take in the desert.
Also, several new and luxurious ships have started sailing the Nile: Among the best choices are the Viking Osiris, an all-veranda vessel carrying 82 passengers, and the opulent Sphinx from Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, which has 42 cabins swathed in marble and hand-carved wood, with beds dressed in fine Egyptian cotton sheets.
And don’t forget to snap some shots of your summer destination when you see the ancient Valley of the Kings. Amazon has some fantastic cameras on sale, including this one!
