A visit to Egypt with the future Mrs. JSeal.

We traveled up the Nile by boat, visiting the temples at Kom Ombo and Edfu. Continued up to Luxor, where we went to the Valley of the Kings and saw Tutankhamun's tomb, with a day to visit Abu Simbel and Philae. We returned to Cairo by train overnight – there were a couple of Old Kingdom pyramids to be seen in the distance. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo is marvelous. We toured the Sphinx and the pyramids at the Giza Necropolis during the day, and enjoyed the Sound and Light show the next evening. We also visited some of the famous mosques in the city. The Shah of Iran is buried in the Al Rifa'i Mosque, near his former brother-in-law, King Farouk.

Quite an experience!
