The Ancient Egyptians were masters of engineering, but their descendants have mastered the art of time travel. This fascinating journey into the distant past takes you back to the days of the pharaohs with all the comforts and accoutrements of the modern age.
With the help of an experienced Egyptologist guide, you’ll embark on private tours of this ancient land’s timeless landmarks and monuments, starting with in-depth tours of the Pyramids of Giza and the mysterious Sphinx before riding into the sunset atop a camel. Later, after exploring the stunning temple ruins of Karnak and Luxor, you’ll cruise down the majestic Nile itself towards Aswan, pausing along the way to explore the archaeological treasures of the river’s east and west banks, including the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, Tutankhamun’s tomb, and more. But the experience doesn’t end there; back up north in Cairo, you’ll have the chance to wander the stalls of the famous Khan el-Khalili bazaar with a private guide and indulge in some authentic Egyptian cuisine before heading home with a headful of unforgettable memories.

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish.

In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains. In their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish
