Carleton College Alumni Adventures presents:

Odyssey of Wonders:Ancient & Modern EgyptWith Rob & Teresa Oden

March 10-21, 2012

Explore the forces of time that have shaped a fascinating

nation from its ancient history through its contemporary

struggles for cultural and political clarity. In early 2011,

the world watched, transfixed, as Egypt’s citizens engaged in

a peaceful revolution that brought down the autocratic and

corrupt Mubarak government and led to the ongoing process of

establishing a peaceful democracy, a new constitution, and free

and fair elections. Now, stability has returned to the streets and

Egypt’s people have embarked on this new era of freedom and

self-government. We invite you on an amazing trip to an age-old

and ever-fascinating destination.

Egypt is safe and welcoming, and Rob and Teresa Oden are eager

for you to join them for a trip designed for intrepid minds and

curious souls. You will bask in views of the pyramids and other

ancient monuments, experience modern Cairo, and taste ancient

and modern life along the Nile during a week-long cruise on the

SS MISR, a ship with modern comforts and early-20th-century

regal ambience. You will also talk with Rob’s on-the-ground

colleagues in-country, and learn from Rob himself in daily

lectures and ongoing conversations about Egyptian history and

influences. This unique trip explores the cultural, historical and

intellectual heart of Egypt.

Trip LeadersRobert A. Oden Jr. was the president of

Carleton College from 2002-2010, president of

Kenyon College from 1995 to 2002 and

headmaster of the Hotchkiss School from 1989

to 1995. President Oden holds a BA from

Harvard College and advanced degrees from

the Harvard Divinity School and from the University of Cambridge, where he was a Marshall

scholar. He earned a PhD in Near Eastern languages and literature from Harvard University. He

was a professor in the Department of Religion at Dartmouth College, where he received

Dartmouth’s first Distinguished Teaching Award. During his tenure at Dartmouth, he twice

served as the academic director and lecturer on a Dartmouth Alumni Seminar Abroad: “Egypt,

the Red Sea, and Jordan.” He has been on the Board of Trustees of the American University in

Cairo since 1990. He and Teresa led a Carleton trip to Egypt in 2008.

Oden is the author of five books, including The Bible Without Theology, and scores of scholarly

articles, as well as a number of articles on fly-fishing. His chief research interests are in ancient

Near East languages and history and comparative religion. In 1989 he was selected to be

among the first of the Teaching Company’s “Superstar Teachers,” recording several series of

lectures on comparative religion and the Old Testament

Teresa Oden earned a BA in classics from Brandeis University. She has worked as a computer

programmer and as an administrator in the nonprofit sector and has published articles and

a book about issues facing the partners of academic leaders. Passionate about local history,

she wrote about college history for the Kenyon College Alumni Bulletin and, after moving to

Minnesota, she wrote a history play in honor of Northfield’s sesquicentennial in 2005. A resident

of Hanover, NH since 2010, she has now shifted her research and writing to that town’s history.

Teresa enjoys gardening and “just about anything that requires handling beautiful fabrics.”

Robin Weber Pollak, Carleton Class of 2004 and director of JOURNEYS International, will also

accompany the trip. Robin worked for five years in experiential education and received an

MBA from The George Washington University before returning to JOURNEYS, a family business

that has offered worldwide nature and culture adventures since 1978.

ItineraryDay 1 • Saturday, March 10ARRIVE CAIRO (depart U.S. on Friday, March 9)

Upon arrival at the Cairo International Airport, you will be met and

transferred to the Cairo Marriott Hotel to check in, relax, and freshen

up. In the evening, enjoy a welcome reception with your group and tour

leaders, followed by dinner in the hotel. (D)

Day 2 • Sunday, March 11Pyramids, Memphis, SaqqaraAfter breakfast, begin your exploration of Ancient Egypt with a trip back

through the history of Egypt’s Pharaonic Old Kingdom. Drive to the Giza

Plateau, where you will see the pyramids and the enigmatic Sphinx,

and visit the Solar Boat Museum. Visit Memphis, the once resplendent

capital of the Old Kingdom where you will see the reclining statue of

Ramses II. Enjoy the countryside and riverbank sights along the short

drive from Memphis to Saqqara, Egypt’s largest archaeological site, and

the burial place of the pharaohs of the Old Kingdom. Here, your guide

will take you to the Step Pyramid of Zoser, the world’s oldest stone

monument, built around 2660 BC, where ongoing archaeological work

continues to this day. Tour other burial chambers in the complex,

marveling at the well-preserved wall murals and paintings, then return

to your Cairo hotel for the evening. (B, L, D)

Day 3 • Monday, March 12American University of Cairo, Luxor, Board the SS MISRSpend this morning at the American University of Cairo, where Rob

Oden is arranging a private tour and a chance to hear from a pre-

eminent expert on Egypt past and present (details to be announced

as the trip approaches). After lunch, transfer to the Cairo Airport for

the short flight to Luxor, where you will meet your Nile River ship. The

SS MISR will be your home for the next week. We set sail southward to

Esna before the sun sets and enjoy the riverbank sights during our first

evening aboard. (B, L, D)

Day 4 • Tuesday, March 13Esna / Edfu and Aswan (SS MISR)

Begin the morning sailing through Esna Lock before reaching Edfu and

visiting its temple, dedicated to the god Horus. The Ptolemaic Temple

of Horus, the falcon god, is the largest and most completely preserved

temple in Egypt, rich with hieroglyphs and other imagery, so be

prepared for an informative morning with your guide. Learn about the

significance of the temple’s many well-preserved reliefs and the valu-

able information they have provided to archaeologists about temple

rituals and the power of the priesthood of ancient Egypt. Enjoy lunch

aboard the ship while sailing to Aswan, where the Nile narrows at the

rocky First Cataract, an old strategic site on ancient routes to the Sudan

and Nubia. Arrive in Aswan by evening, where you will dock overnight

and rest up for a full day of exploring tomorrow. (B, L, D)

Day 5 • Wednesday, March 14Aswan (SS MISR)

Aswan will be our base for today’s explorations, starting early in the

morning, when we travel by small boat to Philae Island to absorb

the romantic aura and grandeur of the complex of the Temple of Isis,

goddess mother of nature and protector of man, and one of Egypt’s

most legendary tourist attractions. The ruins on the island date back

from about 400 BC through the next 500 years and are extensive,

varied, and starkly beautiful. The massive stone temple complex was

disassembled, moved to, and painstakingly reconstructed on this island,

stone by stone, by UNESCO between 1972 and 1980 to save it from the

rising waters of the Aswan High Dam. Next, visit the Unfinished Obelisk,

remarkable for its huge size and, at 2.3 million tons of granite, the heavi-

est single piece of stone the Egyptians had ever fashioned. Also visit

the massive Aswan High Dam, with its views over the sparkling deep

green-blue waters of Lake Nasser, the world’s largest man-made lake.

The High Dam is a massive structure that supposedly contains about 18

times the amount of material used in the great pyramid of Khufu in Giza

(which contains more than two million limestone blocks weighing 2.5

tons apiece!).

Day 7 • Friday, March 16Kom Ombo to Luxor via Esna and Edfu (SS MISR)

After breakfast, set sail on a leisurely trip down the Nile, continuing

north toward Luxor, watching the sights along the way, and descend-

ing the Nile River locks at Esna, not far north of Edfu. Keep an eye out

for the Ptolemaic-Roman Temple of Khnum, the ram-headed god who

created mankind, near the boat landing in Esna. Arrive at Luxor late in

the day and enjoy dinner onboard the ship. (B, L, D)

Day 8 • Saturday, March 17Luxor (SS MISR)

Rise before dawn for breakfast followed by a quick boat ride across the

river to Luxor’s West Bank for a fascinating exploration of the Valley

of the Kings and Queens. Your visit will include excursions inside the

amazingly well-preserved tombs of several rulers of old Egyptian dynas-

ties. Visit the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s

most successful pharaohs as well as the longest-reigning female,

and the Colossi of Memnon, a tourist attraction since Greco-Roman

times and the only remaining components of the Mortuary Temple of

Amenophis III. Return to Luxor’s East Bank and your ship for lunch. In

the afternoon, tour the strikingly-graceful Luxor Temple in the heart

of town and the temples in the massive two-square-kilometer Karnak

complex, whose ancient name means “the most perfect of places.” Have

dinner onboard, then consider an evening outing – perhaps tonight is

the night to try a traditional sheesha (water pipe)? Return to your ship

for the night. (B, L, D)

Day 9 • Sunday, March 18Qena, Dendara, and Luxor (SS MISR)

During breakfast we will sail about 35 miles north to the provincial town

of Qena and the nearby spectacular ruins of Dendara. The Temple of

Hathor at Dendara remains almost completely intact and is therefore

an iconic Egyptian sight. Although this site had been a religious center

since about 2320 BC and the goddess Hathor had been worshipped

here since the days of the Old Kingdom, the current great temple was

largely built by the Ptolemies with later work done by Romans. The

great columns, dark crypts, stairwells, and carved hieroglyphs all add

to the atmosphere. There are even remains of a small 5th century AD

Coptic basilica at the site. Return to Luxor, enjoy your last night in

town moored on your riverboat, and consider one last outing to enjoy

the ancient capital of Thebes, perhaps the world’s greatest open-air

museum. (B, L, D)

In the afternoon take a guided river cruise on a small Nubian-captained

sailing boat (felucca), passing by the Agha Khan Mausoleum, Elephan-

tine Island, and the Botanical Island of Lord Kitchener. Later, you will

have free time to explore Aswan’s lively souq and riverfront, or perhaps

take a taxi to the atmospheric Old Cataract Hotel, where Agatha Christie

wrote Death on the Nile, for coffee. After dinner on board the ship, the

evening is yours at leisure. (B, L, D)

Day 6 • Thursday, March 15Aswan to Kom Ombo (SS MISR)

Set sail for a relaxing trip to Kom Ombo, enjoying lovely views of river

activities and shoreline towns from one of the ship’s open-air sun

decks as you leave Aswan and head down the Nile for Kom Ombo.

Time permitting, we may be able to visit the huge cattle market held

on the outskirts of town on Thursdays. The main attraction, though, is

the riverside temple of Kom Ombo, unique in Egypt for its dual dedica-

tion to the crocodile god, Sobek, and the falcon god, Horus. Visit in the

afternoon when the light is perfect and crowds have thinned. Admire

the location, all the hieroglyphs and colors that still remain, and the

temple’s rugged beauty. Enjoy dinner onboard the ship near Kom

Ombo, where you will moor for the night. (B, L, D)

Day 10 • Monday, March 19Return to CairoAfter breakfast, disembark the riverboat and transfer to nearby Luxor

Airport for your flight to Cairo, where you will be met on arrival and

transferred to the Cairo Marriott Hotel for check-in. We are also work-

ing on setting up a visit today with one or more of Rob Oden’s Cairo

contacts (details to follow when arrangements are complete). Dinner

and overnight at the hotel. (B, L, D)

Day 11 • Tuesday, March 20Old Cairo, mosques, markets, and farewellImmerse yourself in the exploration of Cairo, the heartbeat of Egypt,

also known as the “Mother of the World.” This city has a rich history,

having been part of the Persian, Ptolemaic, Roman, and Byzantine

empires and home to Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike. Following

breakfast at the hotel, embark on a guided exploration of old Cairo.

Begin with a visit to Islamic Cairo and the panoramic hilltop Citadel of

Saladin which also houses Muhammad Ali Pasha’s 19th century alabas-

ter mosque. Walk the cobblestone streets of Old Cairo, the oldest quar-

ter of the city, with its ancient churches and the synagogue of Ben Ezra.

Visit Khan al-Khalili souq (market), including Fishawi’s Coffeehouse. See

Tahrir Square, the site of the January 2011 protests that tipped the politi-

cal forces of the nation. After lunch, continue your exploration at the

Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. One of the most impressive exhibits of

many here are the antiquities from Tutankhamen’s tomb with its nested

burial containers, golden inner sarcophagus, and assorted funerary

treasures. Visit the Royal Mummy Room, home to the bodies of Ramses

II, Seti I, and Tuthmosis II. Tonight, for your last night in Egypt as a

group, enjoy a unique farewell dinner. (B, L, D)

Day 12 • Wednesday, March 21Depart for homeAfter breakfast at the hotel, meet your representative and transfer to the

airport for your journey homeward or on to your next destination. (B)
