Egypt with Dan Snow: Follow in the Footsteps of a Legend

Have you been watching the incredible new series on Channel 5? Egypt with Dan Snow is a masterclass in travel documentary filmmaking, and we cannot recommend it enough!

If you missed the live broadcasts, you can catch up on all three episodes via the My5 app. Each installment provides a fantastic insight into what you can expect from a contemporary visit to the inimitable land of the Pharaohs.

A Journey Through Time

Dan Snow takes viewers on a trail that echoes the past at every corner. From the bustling streets of Cairo to the serene waters of the Nile, the series covers the very best of Egypt:

• Luxor: Dan begins his trail at the Valley of the Kings, comes face-to-face with the local wildlife, and explores the spectacular Karnak Temple.
• The Nile: He boards a luxurious cruise boat—including the historic SS Sudan—to experience the river that served as the lifeline of the Ancient World.
• Aswan: A visit to the iconic temples of the south, where the desert meets the deep blue of the Nile.
• Cairo: The epic finale takes place at the Great Pyramids of Giza, the last surviving wonder of the ancient world.
