This category is devoted to all of our news articles, with a focus on the biggest breaking stories in the world of show business. We’ve managed to break plenty of viral news stories in the past, from the release of the new Lion King live-action movie to the announcement that Holly Willoughby would be replacing Ant McPartlin on I’m A Celebrity. As well as entertainment news we also feature breaking articles from the most weird and wonderful corners of the internet.

I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who is young at heart and wants to see Egypt. At the time of writing, Egypt is really struggling for tourists, which means that even sights like the Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings, which are usually swarming with thousands of people, are eerily quiet.

Colin Greenland reviewed The Jewel of the Nile for White Dwarf #77, and stated that " The Jewel of the Nile is the sequel to Romancing the Stone, another adventure fantasy with just the right pinch of preposterousness. Against all odds, this is a sequel as enjoyable and endearing as the original." [21] Wilder, Joan (pseudonym), Catherine Lanigan (ghostwriter). The Jewel of the Nile (novelization). Good Reads. Retrieved: March 27, 2016. The first stop on our Pyramid tour was the Saqqara burial ground. This is a huge necropolis, noted for being the place where the oldest surviving pyramid in the world can be found: the Djoser step pyramid. This is thought to be the pyramid that started the whole large-scale stone-cut template of pyramid building – with later models losing the steps. Dating from the 27th century BC, and housing the remains of King Djoser, this 5000 year old building is definitely one of the oldest man made structures surviving today. Personally, I think the Nile Cruise represents best value for money, as all our meals were included for our time on the boat, and we had a wonderfully relaxing trip up the Nile, stopping to take in various highlights on the way.In the case of Karnak, easily the most impressive part was the sheer scale, a feature that was particularly obvious in Hypostyle Hall, a 5,000 square meter hall consisting of 134 enormous columns, the majority of which are 10 meters tall, with a few being 21 meters tall! There are also a number of obelisks here – one is missing, as it was borrowed by the Romans in 357AD, and is still standing in Rome. That happens to be the largest obelisk in the world, and originally weighed 455 tons – the mind boggles as to how the Romans transported it from Egypt to Rome! MEET the Pharaoh and his nobles, priests, soldiers, scribes, merchants and farmers on your way to prosperity From here the group was definitely starting to get hungry, and so we headed for lunch in a nearby village. This was, in my opinion, the best meal of the whole trip, featuring a traditional BBQ of meat accompanied by all the classic Egyptian side dishes, including flat breads and dips.

I also found the graffiti on the walls to be interesting, left as it was by Victorian-era travellers. You can find this sort of writing engraved on many Egyptian monuments, obviously leaving a mark on an artifact that is potentially thousands of years old is pretty uncool, but those Victorian travellers clearly had a slightly different set of values. Following on from the Valley of the Kings we headed to the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. This has been almost entirely reconstructed, and is unusual for an Egyptian temple in that it is more like a classical Greek temple. It’s spread over three levels, and is thought to be one of the most beautiful temples in Egypt, although to be honest, competition is high for that title! Kent, David (1993).

The Jewel of the Nile - Rotten Tomatoes

Movie-industry gossip has it that Kathleen Turner didn't particularly want to make this sequel, and that even Michael Douglas, who produces as well as stars, thought it might be best to quit while he was ahead. But the original contract specified a sequel, and it's to everybody's credit that "The Jewel of the Nile" is an ambitious and elaborate attempt to repeat the success of the first movie; it's not just a ripoff. That’s not to say that if you don’t meet the target demographic that the tours aren’t for you. Speaking to the guides in Egypt and Morocco, they’ve had all age ranges come on the tours, and a wide range of nationalities. Just bear in mind that it’s a 90% certainty that the other people on your tour will fit those criteria, and the tours are definitely aimed at the young at heart. Certainly, the Felucca version of the trip offers a wonderfully authentic experience, and our guide said it was his favourite of all the Egyptian tours. I think the land tour option would be my third choice – you get an hour of sailing on a Felucca, but then have to handle a bus ride from Aswan to Cairo, which is around a fifteen hour drive!

The sixth day was definitely one of my favourites on the trip. There’s something so relaxing about a river cruise (something I discovered in Russia), watching the scenery go by, enjoying excellent food, and stopping off for a bit of sight-seeing as you go. Good Food. Throughout our trip, Sameh took us to well-priced restaurants that served excellent local food. The only exception was the Irish Pub, where the food was not that great. But really, one slightly below par dish from nine days of meals is hardly worth writing home about!

Pharaonic Finds: The wonders of Egyptian jewelry come to life in a new book and exhibition from the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts.My favorite moment between them comes as they hang by their hands over a rat pit, while acid gnaws away at the ropes that suspend them above certain doom. Sure, this scene owes something to " Raiders of the Lost Ark." But what's new about it this time is the dialogue - the way they break down and confess that they love each other, and make marriage plans as death inexorably approaches. And then, when DeVito appears and might possibly save them, there is some business with a ladder that is followed by dialogue so perfectly timed that I laughed not so much in amusement as in delight at how well the mechanisms of the scene fell together. While The Jewel of the Nile grossed almost as much as its predecessor, the film was much less successful critically and effectively killed the franchise. [3]
