A 6-day tour of Cairo and the White Desert for Christmas from Canada

After enjoying your first buffet breakfast at the hotel, head to the Giza Plateau—where your dreams come true—with your own English-speaking tour guide. See the famous King Cheops' Great Giza Pyramid, which was constructed on a square plot of land oriented in an odd cardinal direction that continues to astound astronomers worldwide with its faultless precision. Along with the Pyramids of Chephren, your guide will show you the smallest royal pyramid in the Necropolis, which was constructed by King Mycerinus later on. You will spend some time shooting images in addition to getting the complete explanation you require. In addition to seeing and learning about the Great Sphinx—a massive statue with a human head and a lion's body—you will also visit the Valley Temple of King Chephren, which was constructed in front of the enormous statue, the location of the mummification procedure.

After lunch at one of Cairo's best restaurants, you'll drive to the Islamic district of the city to explore the markets, experience Egyptian culture firsthand, and sample the traditional tea-mint at El Fishawy or Layaly Al-Hussein, two of the city's oldest cafés located in Khan El Khalili. Once more, spending the night in Cairo at the hotel.

Enjoy your Coptic Cairo tour, which includes visiting the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon, which was constructed in the first century by Emperor Trajan, and the mysteriously constructed Hanging Church above the fortress's towers. Next, you and your private tour guide will stroll through the streets of Old Cairo to see the church of St. Sergius and the crypt where the holy family resided for three months. The last stop on your tour of Old Cairo is the Ben Ezra Synagogue, which is one of the city's oldest Jewish synagogues.

When you arrive, you'll be taken to see the Valley of the Golden Mummies, which was unintentionally discovered to contain hundreds of gold-coated mummies from the Roman era in Egypt when a donkey carriage became caught in a hole.

Following that, you will see the Nobles' Tombs who governed the oasis during the Pharaonic era. Along with the temple of Ein El Meffetla, thought to be the center of the ancient city of Al Qasr, and the so-called temple of Alexander the Great in Bahariya Oasis, which was unfortunately damaged by many natural circumstances that resulted in the partial loss of some of the inscriptions and carvings.
