The Majority of Egypt Cairo

This magnificent tour of Egypt, which lasts for 8 days, is an excellent mix of time and culture. The first stop of your trip is Cairo where the marvelous Pyramids of Giza, the mysterious Sphinx, and the ancient Egyptian craftsmanship will all be introduced to you.

After that, the tour moves north to the city of Alexandria which is referred to as the pearl of the Mediterranean, where the discovery of the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the Pillar of Pompey and the beautiful Qaitbay Citadel will be waiting for you.

Fly to the south to Aswan where you will join the tranquil cruise along the Nile; a cruise that takes you through both luxury and history. The High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk are both on your itinerary, and then the sailing north will take you to the ancient temples of Kom Ombo and the Temple of Horus at Edfu. Finally, you will arrive at Luxor where the Karnak Temple, the Valley of Kings with its royal tombs, and the Temple of Hatshepsut will be among your attractions.

Back in Cairo, you will end your trip, but not before you have stored the memories of the ancient wonders and the never-ending Nile in your mind.
