12 Day Egypt Luxury - Cairo, Nile Cruise, Red Sea

Off to an amazing start today, you’ll be visiting the Giza Plateau in Egypt, which is renowned for its ancient Necropolis, known for its three great pyramids and the great sphinx. The site also houses the Solar Boat Museum and is one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World. After you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at a premium restaurant, we’ll be headed to explore the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, which houses over 120,000 artifacts from the pre-dynastic, Pharaonic, and Greco-Roman periods. It also holds two rooms. The Treasures Room displays recovered artifacts from King Tutankhamen's tomb, while the Mummies Room houses real mummies in climate-controlled displays, which is a mind-blowing experience that traces back to thousands of years. After a day of wonderful sightseeing in one of the world’s most ancient sights, you can either relax at their hotel or explore the magic of Cairo on your own. Meals include Breakfast and Lunch.

Starting the third day with a mouthwatering breakfast at the hotel, off you go! You’ll be picked up from the hotel at the time agreed upon by you and the tour guide, and a great day will begin! Your first stop today will be at the vast and imposing Saladin Citadel, where you will also be taken to see the magnificent Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque. This mosque was built mostly in Turkish style, and as a result, it is quite similar to the famous Blue Mosque in Istanbul. In addition to the mosque, the Citadel is also home to a number of other interesting venues. After your tour of the Citadel, you will be headed to Cairo’s Christian heritage area, an area known as Coptic Cairo. While here, you will visit a few different sites, including the famous Hanging Church of Cairo, with its long and fascinating history. Your last stop for the day will be at one of Cairo’s most endearing and charismatic sites, the centuries-old Khan El-Khalili Bazaar, where traders have been trading their wares ever since the 14th century. Egypt simply wouldn’t be complete without having the opportunity to explore and shop at this site, where you can more or less buy anything and everything. After this visit, your guide and driver will once again transfer you back to your hotel, where you will be able to enjoy another good night’s rest before your flight to Aswan in the morning.
