Description

We see an Egyptian snake charmer and views of ancient ruins (Luxor?) We then see the entrances to temples in the Valley of the Kings and views of the Colossi of Memnon. This is followed by views of a large city (Cairo?) including high angle views looking over the city. Next we visit Greece with views of the Acropolis and the stadium at Athens. On board the ship we see views of the coastline and distant shots of Mount Vesuvius. A short sequence showing the ruins at Pompeii in Italy follows. The travel party then look at volcanic geysers. More views of coastline follow (Bay of Naples?) and then another excursion where we see donkeys carrying loads passing a roadside shrine. After further coastline views we visit another country (North Africa - Algiers?) with views of a bustling city with narrow back alleys including shots another snake charmer. The final shots show distant views of Gibraltar from the deck.
