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.
