A SUGGESTION FOR SOME TOUR PLANS
Below are a few tour packages which are the most popular.

CAIRO SHORT BREAK - 4 DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS
If you only have a few days and so wish to have a package which will allow you to see the sites in Cairo, this package will be the best one for you. You are met at the airport by our representative and then transported, in our air-conditioned vehicle, to your hotel. The rest of the first day is free, depending on your arrival time, which will allow for relaxation after your flight.

The next day you are taken to see the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx and then after lunch you are taken to Sakkara,
Day 3 has you visiting the Egyptian Museum, where you will get the chance to stand and gaze at the famous death mask of Tutankhamun. Once you have completed your visit here you will be driven to see the Citadel of Saladin, built to protect the fledgling settlement, which became Cairo, from the Saracens. This is followed by a historical tour of Coptic Cairo to see some of the churches built by the Coptic Christians, as well as the museum that houses many of their artefacts. The day is rounded off with a visit to the Khan El-Khalili, where you can get the opportunity to buy those presents that you promised everyone, as well as a few mementos for yourself.

EGYPT SPLENDOR - 7 DAYS AND 6 NIGHTS
Egypt Splendor is the entry level package for seeing Egypt’s major sites. As in most packages the first day is for arrival, which can be at anytime because of international flights, and allows you time for relaxation.

The first day allows you to see the Pyramids of Giza as well as having an enjoyable lunch before visiting the Egyptian Museum in the afternoon. You will then be returned to your hotel for a relaxing evening and sleep. The next day you will be flown to Aswan, where you will have a private tour of the Aswan High Dam and the Temples of Philae, before embarking on a 3 night Nile cruise, which will allow you to enjoy the temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu whilst en route to Luxor. Upon arrival in Luxor you will be taken to see The Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon, Luxor Temple and the huge Temple of Karnak, before having your final night on the boat. The next day you are flown back to Cairo and can spend your last day in relaxation before your departure on the following day.

EGYPT ODYSSEY - 12 DAYS AND 11 NIGHTS
Whereas Egypt Splendor is ideal for those who only have a week to spare, Egypt Odyssey is ideal for those who have 2 weeks and as it is for one more week, this package allows more scope and freedom within it. Your first full day after arrival allows you to visit not only the Pyramids of Giza, but also the Step Pyramid at Sakkara and the Museum at Memphis. The next day has you travelling slightly further south of Cairo to see, and enter if you wish, the Red Pyramid at Dashur and then the neighbouring Bent Pyramid. Once this is completed you will be driven back to your hotel, so that you can prepare for your flight to Aswan then following morning. Upon arrival you will be met and transferred to a hotel in the city before being taken to see the Aswan High Dam and the Temples of Philae. Upon completion you have the opportunity to explore this ancient city before returning to your hotel.
The next day gives you the option to visit Abu Simbel before you embark on your 3 night Nile cruise, which will allow you to enjoy the temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu whilst en route to Luxor. Upon arrival in Luxor you will be taken to see The Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon, Luxor Temple and the huge Temple of Karnak, before having your final night on the boat. The next morning you will be transferred to a hotel in Luxor and this will allow you to either have time to relax, or the possibility of returning to Luxor’s West Bank to see some more ancient sites or to be taken to Dendera and Abydos, 2 places rich with Pharaonic history. After you have had your nights relaxation in the hotel you will be flown back to Cairo, where you will be able to see the Egyptian Museum, the Citadel of Saladin, the Coptic churches and Museum, and finally the Khan El-Khalili. One last night in a hotel and you will be transferred back to the airport for your departure.

 


How to get there

Interesting tips

Wear sensible footwear when visiting the various sites. High heels and open toe shoes are not advisable. The floors of most sites are either sand or rough-cut, uneven stone. Inside many tombs, wooden floorboards have been installed, but thin heels could get caught in the gaps between the floorboards.
