A Breathtaking Sunset Over The Nile River, With The Pyramids Of Giza In The Distance A Thousand Miles Up The Nile

Ernest Hemingway once famously said, "If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast." While Hemingway was referring to the city of Paris, his words could just as easily be applied to the Nile River. For centuries, the Nile has been a source of life and inspiration for the people of Egypt and beyond. And now, with the publication of "Thousand Miles Up the Nile," readers have the opportunity to experience the timeless beauty and wonder of this legendary river for themselves.
