Land of the Kings
10 Days & 9 Nights

For millions around the world Memphis and Mississippi first and foremost mean music. The Blues were born in the Mississippi Delta combining traditional African rhythms with the soulful cries of the sharecroppers as they toiled in the scorched fields. If Mississippi was the birthplace of the Blues, Memphis became home to the music as aspiring musicians headed north on Highway 61 to perform their music on Beale Street. One of them traded his first name Riley for “The Beale Street Blues Boy” and today B.B. King still has a club on the lively street, which is now the premier entertainment district of the entire South.

And Mississippi also gave birth to another king, a certain Elvis Aaron Presley, in a 2- room, shotgun house in Tupelo.  His love of music began here when his mother bought him a guitar from the Tupelo Hardware Store for his eleventh birthday.  When the Presley family moved to Memphis, Elvis Presley joined forces with Sam Phillips at Sun Studio to revolutionize popular music and Rock’n’Roll was born.

But there is more than music.  Memphis and Mississippi also mean the mellow way of life in the Deep South.  The South of mint juleps and magnolia trees, of folklore and fable, and warm hospitality.  The South of Civil War, where preserved battle sites and historic homes bear witness to the tragedy of a nation torn apart.  The South of Civil Rights strife, where you can trace the African-Americans’ enduring struggle for freedom.
