Itinerary
Day 1 - Cairo
Day 1 - Cairo
Welcome to Egypt and the start of your city stay! Arrival Cairo and included transfer to your hotel. The remainder of today is at your leisure to relax or explore Cairo your way. Consider sailing on a traditional felucca on the Nile at sunset, or the sound and light show this evening (booked and paid for locally)
Day 2 - Pyramids & the Egyptian Museum
Day 2 - Pyramids & the Egyptian Museum
This morning enjoy a guided tour of the legendary Pyramids of Giza and the iconic Sphinx. Sole survivors from the ancient Greek-listed Seven Wonders of the World, the pyramids are the planet’s oldest tourist attraction! Gaze in awe at Cheops (Khufu) - the largest of the three great pyramids. Constructed from over 2.5 million limestone blocks it is thought to have taken more than 20 years to construct. Whilst here, you can opt to enter the inside one of the pyramids, subject to opening. Not built for the purpose of accommodating curious travellers, a visit inside one of the pyramids is hot, humid and not recommended for those that are claustrophobic! For a real Arabian experience, perhaps opt to hire a camel for a trot across the sands of Giza and grab that iconic photo of the 3 pyramids (your guide can help you arrange this locally).
Next stop is the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to a vast exhibition of ancient Egyptian treasures, including many items from the tomb of King Tutankhamun. This incredible 490,000 sq.m complex showcases artefacts being displayed for the first time, with many items having been brought together from across Egypt and the world. After your guided tour of the museum, you’ll visit the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, where you can explore a vast collection of statues, jewellery, and sarcophagi. Among its treasures are several well-preserved mummies, including those of Yuya and Thuyu, King Tutankhamun’s great-grandparents, as well as many other royal and non-royal figures. Some of the mummies on display are so well preserved that you can still see details like hair, fingernails, and even the smooth, darkened skin.
This evening consider heading out to dinner at one of the restaurants that offer fantastic views of Cairo and the Nile. Ask your guide for some recommendations!
