A “landmark” year for Egypt, 2022 marks the centenary of the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb and the 200th anniversary of the deciphering of the Rosetta Stone; it will also see the opening of the “spectacularly impressive” Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza. The best way to celebrate it is a cruise on the Nile, said Jonathan Thompson in The Sunday Times.
