Highlights
- Pyramids of Giza - Upon your arrival at Cairo airport, our delegate will be there to greet you as soon as you disembark. Following this warm reception, we’ll embark on an enchanting journey to the Pyramids of Giza, the sole survivor among the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. Our exploration includes a visit to the iconic pyramids and the Sphinx, revered by the Ancient Egyptians as a deity with the visage of a human and the body of a lion. Next, we’ll proceed to a papyrus institute where a knowledgeable guide, fluent in your preferred language, will conduct a session on papyrus. You’ll delve into its origins, significance, various applications, and learn about how the ancient Egyptians crafted the first paper from its stem. You’ll also be able to distinguish between authentic papyrus and imitations, and even try your hand at making paper yourself. Following this, we’ll take a stroll through the gallery to admire paintings that reflect ancient Egyptian, Christian, and Islamic motifs. Our tour continues with visits to a cotton shop and a glass blowing workshop. To cap off the experience, you’ll savor a local lunch before we escort you back to Cairo airport.
