Cairo Tour
06 Nights / 07 Days
|
|
Day 1: |
Arrive
to Cairo airport. Meet & assist and transfer to hotel.
|
|
|
|
Day 2: |
 Full
day tour to the great pyramids of Giza, sphinx, bazzars & carpet
factory, The pyramids of Giza, are perhaps the only true rival to the
Great Sphinx, when one thinks about Ancient Egypt and it's architecture.
The valley of Giza with it's wonderful monuments, is truly a marvel of
architectural prowess. The three Pyramids consist of The Great Pyramid
of Khufu, The Pyramid of Kafhre and The Pyramid of Menkaura. Each
Pyramid is a tomb to a different King of Egypt.
All three
pyramids were built during the Third and Fourth Dynasty, and were
monumental undertakings of the king and the kings sons. The Pyramid of
Khufu has a base which covers roughly a nine acre area (roughly 392,040
square feet). The pyramid of Menkaura, unlike the other pyramids, had
one tier of it's base covered in granite. The pyramid of Khafre, had a
two tier base encased in granite.
Unfortunately
like many of the great Kings of the Old Kingdom of
 Egypt, the Pyramid of Menkaura, Khufu, and Kafhre were not finished in the time of the end of
the Kings reign. In the case of Menkaura, the king died before it's
construction was completed. The monuments of Giza and the entire Giza
valley stand as a marvelous reminder of the skill executed in the
creation of the pyramids, and are truly fabulous to see. |

Day 3: |
 Full
day tour to the Egyptian museum & Citadel of Salah Aladdin and khan
Alkhalili bazzars.
The Museum
of Egyptian Antiquities, known commonly as the Egyptian Museum, in
Cairo, Egypt, is home to the most extensive collection of ancient
Egyptian antiquities in the world . it has 136,000 items on display,
with many more hundreds of thousands in its basement storerooms .
The museum
is an outgrowth of the Egyptian Antiquities Service, established by the
Egyptian government in 1835, in an attempt to limit the looting of
antiquities from sites, and protect artifacts. Its Boulaq museum opened
in 1858 with a collection assembled by Auguste Mariette , the French
archaeologist retained by Isma"I Pasha . After residing in an annex of
the palace of Isma"I Pasha in Giza from 1880, the museum moved to its
present location, aneoclassical structure on Tahrir Square in Cairo's
city centre, in 1900 under Gaston Maspero.
 The
highlight of the collection is often considered to be the tomb artifacts
of the pharaoh Tutankhamun, whose almost intact tomb Howard Carter found
in the Valley of the Kings in 1922.
The museum's
Royal Mummy Room, containing 27 royal mummies from pharaonic times,. It
was reopened , with a slightly curtailed display of New Kingdom kings
and queens , in 1985. |

at leisure, or optional tours to Alexandria. (Full day with lunch)

library of Alexandria that contains more than 500,000 volumes.. |

|
Day 5: |
 Free
at leisure, or optional tours to the Pharonice Village (half day).
The
Pharaonic Village began, like so many other great wonders of our world,
with a dream. Dr. Hassan Ragab, already famous for his rediscovery of
the ancient techniques for making papyrus, had begun to ponder the
possibility of a living museum with real people, actors in costume and
in a realistic locale, taking the place of static exhibits.
It was after
a visit to Disney World's EPCOT Center in Orlando, Florida, that his
idea took root. Dr. Ragab believed EPCOT "was too computerized" and
there was nothing human about it. He began to think, "Dare I have real,
live people in my village, dressed in the manner of three or four
thousand years ago?"
The result
is The Pharaonic Village, a living museum of ancient Egyptian life where
visitors can sail on a network of canals and view the remarkably
realistic recreation of the past. |
