On a day trip to Cairo, you will first visit the Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza; the Great Pyramid is the only remaining wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Lunch will be provided. In the afternoon, you will visit the Egyptian Museum in the heart of down-town Cairo, where you can marvel at the ancient antiquities on display including, the gold mask of Tutankhamen, the boy-king of Egypt. Time permitting, you will also have the opportunity to visit the old souk of Khan El Khalili in Islamic Cairo and may be pick up a souvenir or two!
You can do the day trip to Cairo by air or by coach. By air, you fly up to Cairo in the early morning and return late evening; the cheaper option is to travel overnight by air-conditioned coach in both directions. Both methods of transport give you a full day in the city.
Longer trips with a night or two in a hotel in the city, can also be arranged, giving you more time to explore this fascinating city. |
