Jewels of the Nile: Ancient Egyptian Treasures from the Worcester Art Museum

Product Information

The first stop on our Pyramid tour was the Saqqara burial ground. This is a huge necropolis, noted for being the place where the oldest surviving pyramid in the world can be found: the Djoser step pyramid. This is thought to be the pyramid that started the whole large-scale stone-cut template of pyramid building – with later models losing the steps. Dating from the 27th century BC, and housing the remains of King Djoser, this 5000 year old building is definitely one of the oldest man made structures surviving today.

After breakfast, we headed to another incredibly famous Egyptian location – the Valley of the Kings, stopping on the way to visit some statues. Of course, not everything is perfect about a trip. Whilst the below definitely weren’t deal breakers for us, I do want to bring them up so you are aware!

By now you might be wondering why I keep going on about these temples, and surely maybe by this point I’d seen enough. Nothing could be further from the truth. Each temple held it’s own unique points of interest and fascination, and Sameh’s guiding was always top notch, keeping us informed and entertained throughout. Appelo, Tim and Greg Kilday.

Travel Talk makes the experience really easy, their guides are absolutely first class, and we had a wonderful time. So yes, if you’ve read this post and think it’s for you, I’d totally suggest you go ahead and book a trip! So to be honest the tours for each country are often not that difference despite the name differences – the key is to look at the itineraries. For example, in Egypt, I took the Jewels of the Nile tour, but the Felucca tour and land tour were actually the same, with just the boat section of the trip being different. So the only decision is which part of the trip you want to do most.The Luxor Museum features one of the best displays of antiquities in Egypt and opened in 1975. Two of the most impressive attractions are a huge red granite head of Amenhotep III and the spectacular head from the tomb of Tutankhamun. iOS: iPhone 5 and higher, iPad mini 2 and higher, iPad 5 and higher, iPod Touch 6th and higher 11.0+ firmware Once the camel riding and pyramid visiting was done, we headed down to the Great Sphinx for more photo opportunities, and learnt more from Sameh about the people who built all these incredible monuments.

The Jewel Of The Nile movie review (1985) | Roger Ebert

The day started with a visit to the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, most often known as the Museum of Cairo. This is one of Egypt’s largest museums, home to over 120,000 items, with arguably the most famous being the Gold Mask of Tutankhamun. The magnificence of ancient Egypt comes to brilliant life through jewelry—the most precious and personal of human possessions—in this expansive exhibition at WAM. Timed to open 100 years after the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb, Jewels of the Nile: Ancient Egyptian Treasures from the Worcester Art Museum puts the Museum’s collection of early Egyptian jewelry on view for the first time in a century. Remarkable for both its breadth and quality, this collection was assembled by Kingsmill Marrs (d. 1912) and Laura Norcross Marrs (1845 – 1926) and given to WAM by Mrs. Marrs. From here the group was definitely starting to get hungry, and so we headed for lunch in a nearby village. This was, in my opinion, the best meal of the whole trip, featuring a traditional BBQ of meat accompanied by all the classic Egyptian side dishes, including flat breads and dips. I’m not sure how many days you have exactly – are you just looking for an Egypt tour with Travel Talk? I definitely enjoyed the tour with the river cruise option, but others in our group who did the Felucca had a great time too 🙂 There are also longer versions of the tours, such as those that include Jordan, or other sections of Egypt. Again, on the ground these are just extensions to the same tour, so you will be in a group with folks in other tours until the “different” part of your tour. Does that make sense? And then it was time for the less exciting part of the day – the bus ride! Egypt is a large country, and the sights are spread out from the top to the bottom of the country. In our 8 days, we’d be covering over 2,000km, which inevitably meant quite a bit of time on a bus!RCA SelectaVision VideoDisc FAQ - Why did RCA abandon further development of the CED system in April 1984?"

Movie-industry gossip has it that Kathleen Turner didn't particularly want to make this sequel, and that even Michael Douglas, who produces as well as stars, thought it might be best to quit while he was ahead. But the original contract specified a sequel, and it's to everybody's credit that "The Jewel of the Nile" is an ambitious and elaborate attempt to repeat the success of the first movie; it's not just a ripoff.

Certainly, the Felucca version of the trip offers a wonderfully authentic experience, and our guide said it was his favourite of all the Egyptian tours. I think the land tour option would be my third choice – you get an hour of sailing on a Felucca, but then have to handle a bus ride from Aswan to Cairo, which is around a fifteen hour drive!

(ABTA P7508, ATOL 6053).The first day of a Travel Talk Tour is just about arriving, with the goal to have everyone installed at the hotel by 6pm. It’s a tour. Fairly obviously, this is a tour, made up of a group. So, there are downsides to this sort of travelling compared to independent travel, in terms of flexibility, timing, what you are going to see, and so on. Of course, there are advantages, in that everything is taken care of for you. So this isn’t really a downside, just a fact, that a group tour isn’t for everyone. Although you probably already know if that’s you by now! WiFi is available at many (but no all) of the hotels, but is not always free, so do be prepared to go without internet for prolonged periods of time. Maslin, Janet. "Film: 'Jewel of the Nile'."

Thankfully, the bus was comfortable enough to get a bit of rest as we drove down, and I was able to wake up for long enough to watch a glorious sunrise. So that was nice.

If you could let me know specifically which options you are looking at and for how long, I’m happy to try and help further of course! Turner was disappointed that Douglas did not ask Diane Thomas, the writer who had penned the script for Romancing the Stone, to return for the sequel, apparently because he decided her asking price was too high. When Douglas agreed to undertake rewrites to please Turner, Thomas was asked to consult on alterations, but Turner remained disappointed with the script. She elaborated in an interview in 2018:After the meeting, folks were able to book onto and pay for any of the optional activities they were interested in.
