History, adventure and travelogue combine as Simon Reeve journeys down three of the world's major rivers: the Nile, Yangtze and Ganges. Through the stories of the people who live alongside these great waterways, he uncovers their vast influence, and reveals how they unite, and divide, some of the most extraordinary parts of the world. Tracing the course of each river from source to mouth, this series delves deep into the beliefs and practices that underpin the lives of those living along its banks. Travel from the twin temples of Abu Simbel to the Nile delta; down the Yangtze from the giant Buddha of Leshen to the Three Gorges Dam and on to Shanghai; and along the great mother Ganges in a world caught between ancient traditions and astonishing modernity. Along the way, experience a riot of colour, extraordinary spectacle and unexpected encounters. Full of wonder and breath taking, magisterial landscapes, Simon Reeve's Sacred Rivers is a potent mix of revelation and hands-on adventure.

Another good Simon Reeve series.
I enjoyed this on the t.v. and decided to purchase it for myself. My main interest is the River Nile and I was very pleased to learn more about it. I intend to visit Egypt within the next 18 months and am fascinated by anything to do with the country and the Nile. The information on the other rivers was very interesting and Simon is like a "David Attenborough" in that he makes the subject he is talking about very understandable to the watchers and the listeners.
