The Handbook of Palestine/Advertisements
EGYPT & PALESTINE
An experience of over fifty years in Egypt and Palestine has placed Thos. Cook & Son in an unrivalled position with regard to travel in these countries.
On the Nile their fleet of First-Class Passenger Steamers make frequent voyages between Cairo, Assuan and the second Cataract, and it may be asserted with some confidence that on no other river of the world can a voyage be made with greater or more studied luxury.
In Palestine, in spite of the new régime, travel is still a very different thing from travel in Europe, and it is only by such an organization as theirs that the country can be visited under the best conditions.
A booklet of arrangements for travel in both Egypt and Palestine may be obtained from
