Tracing the ancient footsteps of explorers through the landscapes of Sudan
Join tour leader Emily Teeter on a virtual journey from Khartoum to Abu Simbel. This video revisits a 2018 expedition to explore the enduring legacy of ancient Nubian cultures and the reality of modern travel through the region.
The presentation follows a route originally traversed by James Henry Breasted, the founder of the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures. By retracing these historical paths, the tour connects the modern landscape of Sudan to the ancient civilizations that shaped it.
While revisiting the 2018 trip, the video also looks forward to the 'Ultimate Nile' expedition, which spans from Khartoum to Cairo. It provides a window into how the history of Nubia remains an impressive way to experience the contemporary Sudanese landscape.
