Are
you ready for the next dream vacation? We are working with specialists in Egypt and have put together this incredible package.
We start off in Cairo where we
will have 3 days to take in the wonders of Giza and the pyramids,
Sphinx and Sakkara. The pyramids were reckoned by the Greeks to be one of the 7 wonders of
the world. In the face of such immensity, one can't help but feel
the wonder and awe that so many writers & artists have sought
to convey over the centuries. The Cheops Pyramid is especially
interesting since its interior burial chambers are open for visitors.
Not far from the Pyramids is the Great Sphinx of Giza, which dates
from 2620 BC. Hewn from natural yellowish limestone &
standing 65 feet high & 187 feet long, this unforgettable
statue combines the head of a Pharaoh with a lion’s body. Sakkara
is one of the most exciting historical & archaeological area
in all of Egypt with its famous step pyramid of King Zoser.We’ll
visit Khan el-Khalili bazaar, once known as the Turkish during
the Ottoman period, is now referred to as the ‘Khan’. We'll also
be visiting the fabulous
Egyptian Museum the most important depository of Egyptian
antiquities anywhere in the world. It features artifacts from
the Pharaonic and Graeco-Roman periods, including the celebrated
mummies of ancient Egypt’s king and Tutankhamun treasures.
Our stay in Cairo will be at the 5-star Sheraton Cairo located
on the banks of the River Nile with views of the Nile and the
Pyramids. From there will fly to Luxor and our starting point
for our 4-night Nile cruise aboard
Farah
Nile Cruise a 5* cruise liner.
Being one of the oldest inhabited places in Egypt, Aswan hosts some of
the most spectacular monuments, including Philae Temple, an unfinished
obelisk and the Mausoleum of the a Agha Khan. We’ll
visit Philae Temple, which was once underwater but has now been re-erected on land. We’ll
cruise to Kom Ombo and visit the temple shared by two gods Sobek
& Haeroris in Kom-Ombo. 
We’ll continue on to Edfu and visit the Temple of Edfu the best-preserved
major temple in Egypt.
Then we cruise to Luxor
with its breathtaking and impressive monuments
of ancient Egyptian civilization it has become one of Egypt’s
most enticing tourist destinations, home to some 80 percent of
Egyptian artifacts. Its magnificent temples, tombs and
palaces border the banks of the Nile River.
On
the east bank stand the Luxor
and Karnak temples,
while Queen Hatshepsut’s temple lines the west bank of the great
river. The great city’s necropolis contains the Valley
of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens and tombs of the nobles
- a testament to Luxor’s ancient name al-Uqsur, or city of the
palaces. Here we will have the option of visiting the tomb of
Tutankhamen at an additional cost. We’ll visit the Temples of
Karnak and Luxor Temple before flying back to Cairo.
We'll have one more night in Cairo before heading home.
