Sacred Rivers with Simon Reeve

Simon travels from source to sea along the world's longest river, the Nile. His journey will take him from the holy source of the Blue Nile in the Ethiopian highlands, through the desert of Sudan and onwards through Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.

Simon follows the sacred waters of the Ganges from source to sea. Along the way he meets westerners in Rishikesh seeking spiritual enlightenment, takes a holy dip in the waters at Haridwar and discovers how the river is being polluted in Kanpur.

Starting his journey at the first bend in the Yangtze, Simon follows the river to Dazu where he sees 50,000 ancient and exquisite rock carvings, some of the only religious artefacts not to have been destroyed under communist rule.
