This is a tour of Cairo and the Red sea Riviera

DAY 1
Arrive at the Cairo International Airport and clear through the immigration. Transfer to your booked in hotel and spend the rest of the day at leisure. Meet at the hotel lounge at 1800hrs and transfer to the Nile cruising dinner for an oriental night. Tantalize your taste buds with authentic Egyptian dinner as you tantalize your senses with the oriental belly dancing. Later transfer to your booked in hotel for overnight.
DAY 2
After breakfast at the hotel, proceed for a full day city tour to experience the historical Cairo. Lunch is at a local restaurant on this day. Highlights of the day:

  • The pyramids of Giza– The great pyramids are the only ones surviving of the seven wonders of the ancient world. They are Egypt’s most visited monuments and among the worlds greatest tourist attractions.
  • The sphinx- Carved from a single piece of stone, it is a lion with the head of a pharaoh thought to be the portrait of Chepren.
  • Egyptian museum- Called the museum of the Egyptian antiquities, it is one of the greatest museums you will ever see, housing an unrivalled collection of antiquities reaching back 5000 years.
  • The perfumery – Until and during the first few centuries of the Common Era, Egypt was the prestigious center of an international perfume industry. Although perfumes were created and mass-marketed elsewhere in the ancient world, it was Egypt that was most renowned and identified with the international perfume trade. Egypt was so identified with perfume that during Julius Caesar’s Roman triumphs, perfume bottles were tossed to the crowd to demonstrate his mastery over Egypt. Fragrance was common and accessible throughout Egypt; perfume was not. Beautifully scented flowers were readily accessible in the Nile River valley to even the humblest individuals. We know from artifacts and art that the Egyptians were fond of floral garlands, much in the manner of today’s Hawaiian lei. However, perfume was an expensive luxury item created in Egypt for the elite and for export.
  • Papyrus factory – The biggest Governmental Papyrus Institute in Egypt, utilizing papyrus to make an ancient type of paper from the stalk of the Cyperus papyrus plant, which has a brittle interior and a tough exterior and grows in damp regions of the Nile Delta. Its method of production was a well­-kept secret for many years, allowing the ancient Egyptians to have a monopoly over its production and distribution. Along with its approved museum and shop not far from the Pyramids in Giza, visitors can browse and buy a huge selection of hand­-painted papyrus prints. Prices range from the cheap to the very expensive, but bear in mind that these prints are the authentic article and make for some quality souvenirs. Staff at the Papyrus Institute talk visitors through the entire process of manufacturing papyrus, including a demonstration of exactly how it is made.

Transfer to your hotel thereafter for dinner & overnight
DAY 3
After breakfast at the hotel, transfer to Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada for a tour of the Naama bay resort hub wit cafes and coral reefs, Tiran island which is a military island, Ras Muhammad National Park which is a nature reserve with beaches and diving activities, Nabq protected area- a nature reserve with various ecosystems. Tiran island within the maritime borders of Saudi Arabia was administered by Egypt in the past. However, sovereignty of the two Red Sea islands, Tiran and Sanafir, was ceded officially to Saudi Arabia as part of a maritime borders agreement between Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Hurghada is famed for famed for its excellent scuba diving spots. Dinner & overnight at The Red Sea Riviera, Egypt’s eastern coastline along the Red Sea, consisting of resort cities on the western shore of the Gulf of Aqaba and along the eastern coast of mainland Egypt – south of the Gulf of Suez
