A journey of discovery along Egypt's life-giver, the legendary Nile. Carmen Rohrbach's 1000-kilometer path leads from the temples of Abu Simbel, through the palm and mango tree-lined island of Elephantine, to the Nile's mouth in Alexandria. She explores the Valley of the Kings on her own, wanders the Sahara with her loyal donkey Aton, visits the great pyramids, and listens to the stories of the people along the banks of the world's longest river while enjoying Nile perch and hibiscus tea. There is no more intense way to experience Egypt and its great river than by the side of Carmen Rohrbach.
