People who admire. The edges that call. The great traveler Sir Ranulph Fiennes and his distant relative, the actor known for the films The Handmaid's Tale, Shakespeare in Love, Darwin Award and more - Joseph Fiennes meet in the port of Alexandria to prepare for a 3-week journey that will recreate the first expedition of Sir Fiennes Sr. along the banks of the Nile. Sir Ranulph Fiennes is known for the expeditions he led to the South Pole and led the first transglobal expedition to cross the South and North Poles.
On their journey, they will present a short course of survival, as well as visit places where dangerous spiders, snakes, ruthless scorpions, frightening crocodiles, dangerous insects, parasites are found. They will visit the Nile, see the Red Sea for the first time, get bogged down in the sands of dunes, spend the night in the great pyramid of Cheops, arrange competitions on the water and eventually get to the border of Sudan, where they will see a very beautiful temple of Abu Simbel carved in the rock.
I am not happy that there is no continuation. Because before the premiere, I thought their journey would last at least 7 episodes. Where they would also visit the Library of Alexandria, the Cairo Museum, the Temple of the god Horus (Horus), the Temple of the first known Pharaoh's woman - Hatshepsut, the Valley of the Kings and much more.
I have always dreamed of visiting legendary Egypt. 9 out of 10 just because little is shown.
