From Joppa, Jerusalem, the River Jordan, the Sea of Tiberias,

Nazareth, Bethany, Bethlehem, and other points of interest in the

Holy Land can be visited, and here those who may have preferred to

make the journey from Beirut through the country, passing through

Damascus, Galilee, Capernaum, Samaria, and by the River Jordan and

Sea of Tiberias, can rejoin the steamer.

Leaving Joppa, the next point of interest to visit will be

Alexandria, which will be reached in twenty-four hours. The ruins

of Caesar's Palace, Pompey's Pillar, Cleopatra's Needle, the

Catacombs, and ruins of ancient Alexandria will be found worth the

visit. The journey to Cairo, one hundred and thirty miles by rail,

can be made in a few hours, and from which can be visited the site

of ancient Memphis, Joseph's Granaries, and the Pyramids.

From Alexandria the route will be taken homeward, calling at

Malta, Cagliari (in Sardinia), and Palma (in Majorca), all

magnificent harbors, with charming scenery, and abounding in fruits.

A day or two will be spent at each place, and leaving Parma in the

evening, Valencia in Spain will be reached the next morning. A few

days will be spent in this, the finest city of Spain.

From Valencia, the homeward course will be continued, skirting

along the coast of Spain. Alicant, Carthagena, Palos, and Malaga

will be passed but a mile or two distant, and Gibraltar reached in

The Innocents Abroad
