This July, Adventures by Disney has opened up booking for 20 itineraries, including eight- and 10-day excursions in Egypt, in 2011. Starting and ending in Cairo through the Nile River and the Valley of Kings, travelers can enjoy the benefits of a Disney "Signature Trip" that includes concierge service from the two Adventure Guides on hand, accommodation upgrades, VIP gifts and private airport transfers.
