Professor Alice Roberts gets exclusive access to some of the most recently uncovered archaeology in Egypt as she travels the country by train.
In this unique travelogue, Professor Alice Roberts explores one of the world's oldest and greatest civilisations. And she's doing it by train.
Starting in Alexandria, Alice goes deep underground in search of Cleopatra, she discovers how the Romans and the Greeks reacted to the treasures of Ancient Egypt and on a visit to the site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria she learns how a slave became a sultan and built his own fairy tale caste.
Alice visits the Pyramids and is allowed deep inside to see the tomb of pharaoh Khufu.
In Luxor, Alice visits Tutankhamun's tomb and mummified body in the Valley of the Kings.
Alice ends her trip in Aswan, and takes a boat to see the extraordinary Philae Temple.
