Itinerary
- Day 1… fly into the Egyptian capital, Cairo, the second-largest city in Africa. You'll meet with a representative in the arrivals hall, and transfer directly to your hotel.
- Day 2… an expert Egyptologist guide will take you on a tour of The Pyramids of Giza, The Sphinx, and the Valley Temple of Khafre. Take a lunch break at a local restaurant, before visiting a papyrus factory, and a gold and antiques workshop. In the afternoon, visit The Grand Egyptian Museum.
- Day 3… cross the Nile to visit the imposing Citadel of Salah el Din, a 12th-century fortification built against the Crusaders. Learn about Cairo's Coptic Christian past at the Church of St. George. Visit the Hanging Church, and the Abu Serga Church, built upon a Roman fort in the 4th century. Admire early Islamic architecture at the Mosque of Amr Ibn Al-As, the first mosque built in Africa.
- Day 4… start your day with a tour through the vast collections of the National Museum of Ancient Egyptian Civilization. Next, wander the intoxicating maze of the Khan el-Khalili bazaar with your guide. Stop for a coffee break at the El-Fishawy Cafe—it opened in 1797, and has been run by generations of the same family ever since. In the evening, embark on a dinner cruise on the Nile, where you'll be entertained by belly dancers and a folklore performance.
- Day 5… after breakfast, transfer to the airport for your flight back to the UK.
