Tlie M.S. Mile Sovereign 



February 9-27, 1990 



Exploring the grandeur of the antiquities of 

 Egypt can be overwhelming. Standing 

 monuments of 5,000 years of recorded 

 history inspire our awe and wonder. 



On our tour we'll marvel at the most 

 ancient Step Pyramid of King Zoser the 

 Great Pyramids including the breathtaking 

 Cheops, the Sphinx, the rock tombs of the 

 middle kingdom, the magnificent temple 

 at Abydos, the splendor of Karnak. We'll 

 roam the Valley of the Kings, see the great 

 works of Ramesses II at Abu Simbel and 

 visit the Alabaster IVlosque and exhaustive 

 collections of the Cairo Ivluseum. 



Our journey includes a spectacular 

 cruise down the Nile on board the new lux- 

 ury yacht tVI.S. Nile Sovereign (20 cabins), 

 from Luxor to Aswan. Our accommoda- 

 tions are beautifully appointed and the 

 sights beyond belief. 



How wonderful to sort through it 

 all with the special guidance of Field 

 Museum tour's lecturer/leader, a prestig- 

 ious Egyptologist, on hand throughout our 

 journey to add insight, anecdote, and per- 

 spective. Add to this the unsurpassed 

 knowledge of history and local culture of 

 our native Egyptology expert and you will 

 understand wfiy traveling with Field 

 Museum tours is such an enriching 

 experience. 



KENYVmriZANIA 

 SAFARI 



February 18 - March 11, 1990 



Truly the adventure of a lifetime awaits 

 you in the vast and unspoiled landscape 

 of East Africa under the extraordinary 

 leadership of Audrey Faden. In her warm 

 and personal style, Audrey orchestrates 

 every detail, and offers her extensive 

 knowledge and love of the natural environ- 

 ment that is the hallmark of a Field 

 Museum tour. 



View the amazing variety of African 

 wildlife from our vehicles providing incred- 

 ible proximity to animals in their native 

 habitat. Lion, giraffe, rhino, cheetah, 

 elephant, wildebeest, and zebra roam the 

 Amboseli National Park, where our safari 

 begins. Here also we have an exceptional 

 view of famed Mt. Kilimanjaro. 



Enjoy the unique opportunity to wit- 

 ness the great herds of Africa, from Thom- 

 son's and Grant's gazelles to leopard, in 

 the Northern Serengeti at Masai Mara 

 Game Reserve. Other features include the 

 endangered black rhino and scores of 

 crocodile and hippo basking in the river 

 areas. 



Birding enthusiasts will not be dis- 

 appointed. Lake Manyara National Park is 

 home to more than 380 species of birds as 

 well as buffalo, waterbuck, the elusive 

 bushbuck, and the rest of Africa's big 

 game animals. 



Accommodations are first-rate 

 throughout. One of our stops will be the 

 exciting Ark, perched directly above a 

 waterhole where animals can be viewed at 

 leisure as they come to drink. 



CROW CANYON 



September 16-22, 1990 



Field Museum tours will be conducting an 

 exciting tour to Denver's Crow Canyon 

 Archaeological Center. The tour will offer a 

 splendid opportunity not only to view, but 

 to participate in an archaeological dig. At 

 Crow Canyon you encounter the excite- 

 ment of archaeology first hand. Here 

 adults and students of all ages — most 

 with no previous archaeological experi- 

 ence — excavate, analyze, and learn side 

 by side with archaeologists. 



Together you and the Crow Canyon 

 scientists work toward an understanding 

 of the Anasazi, the "Ancient Ones," who 

 built countless stone pueblos centuries 

 ago, and then departed. In this beautiful 

 southwestern landscape they left villages, 

 ceramics, tools, and silence. At Crow 

 Canyon you help widen our knowledge of 

 these early Americans.
