Perhaps the most famous love story associated with the Nile is that of Cleopatra VII, the last pharaoh of Egypt, and Mark Antony, the Roman general. Their passionate and tumultuous affair began in 41 BCE when Antony was sent to Egypt to pursue the rebellious Cleopatra. Intrigued by her intelligence and captivating beauty, Antony fell head over heels in love.

Cleopatra and Antony spent lavish days on the Nile, sailing along the river on a magnificent barge filled with exotic treasures. They revelled in each other's company, hosted extravagant banquets, and indulged in amorous delights. Their love affair became a symbol of passion and indulgence, but it was also doomed from the start.

Ancient Egyptian pharaohs believed that their tombs and possessions held immense power and that disturbing them could invoke a deadly curse. One of the most famous examples of this curse is associated with the tomb of King Tutankhamun.

In 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered Tutankhamun's intact tomb in the Valley of the Kings. As Carter and his team excavated the burial chamber, they unearthed a treasure trove of artefacts, including the iconic golden funerary mask. However, the excavation was soon plagued by a string of mysterious deaths and illnesses.

Superstitious beliefs and rumours of a vengeful curse spread like wildfire, captivating the imaginations of explorers and the public alike. To this day, the curse of the pharaohs remains an enigmatic force associated with the Nile's mysterious and enigmatic past.
