Not really a tour, but in the late 90s I took a riverboat down the Nile River in Egypt. So this story requires a bit of context, but in ancient Egypt the east bank of the Nile was the land of the living, and the west bank, was the land of the dead. Anyways, we're sailing down river, and it's the middle of the night, desert all around. The stars were like magic, you could see the band of the galaxy like a slash across the sky. Then this low fog rolls in of the west bank, and far in the distance, just above the night sounds, is a human voice. It's the call to the night prayer, so there must have been mosque somewhere off the river a ways, but the voice was very faint. The Muslim call to prayer is already this hauntingly melodic song, and the callers have the most beautiful voices. I'm not a religious man, and I don't believe in ghosts, but that night, coming from the west bank of the Nile, from behind that fog, it was like the dead were calling us.
