Egypt, most populous of Arab nations, depends on the Nile River for life, transportation, and as a centerpiece of its ancient civilization. Using the river as the connecting element, the viewer travels the river from north to south. Relates the histories and current status of Alexandria, Cairo, the Suez Canal, Sinai, the pyramids, Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, Aswan, and the temple at Abu Simbel. Focus is on Egypt's mix of antiquities and modern life.
