Armchair Tour of Egypt and North Africa

In this class, you will wander “virtually” among the magnificent remains of ancient temples in Egypt, Tunisia, and Algeria. Take a boat trip along the Nile to see where Tutankhamun was buried in the Valley of the Kings. Marvel at the Great Pyramids at Giza, Saqqara, and Meroë. Enjoy a wonderful sunset dinner at the Blue Harbor Rooftop Restaurant in Alexandria and see the famous Pharos Lighthouse once stood. Explore ancient Carthage, visiting the Punic harbor and the scary Tophet cemetery, with its evidence of child sacrifice. See also the archaeological remnants of many Roman buildings and early Christian churches. Among other sites in Algeria, visit Timgad, “the Pompeii of North Africa,” and stroll along its magnificent Roman streets.
