This is the start of an exciting day for you, beginning with the pick-up from your place in Alexandria. Enter your modern, air-conditioned vehicle, as you begin the journey to Cairo, and the splendid view will be offered to you. The entity will move with you on this enchanting outing, sharing with you many things on Egypt's grand history and culture. During the trip, your experience as it guides you through vibrant towns to lush green fields along the banks of the mighty Nile Delta-and a glimpse of the daily life of Egyptians: this travel will be a great amazing experience for itself.
As you enter the gates that led you into the city of Cairo, your first destination is the Pyramids of Giza. This pyramid is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and it is indeed an extremely wonderful work of engineering constructed by humankind. The pyramids date back to around 4,500 years and stand testament to the power and perhaps sophistication of a civilization like the Egyptians.
Tour the Incredible Pyramid of Khufu—largest and most enigmatic of the three pyramids:
Behold the well-conserved, well-kept Pyramid of Khafre, with a remnant of beautiful limestone casing at its apex.
Visit the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest but equally fascinating with its unique granite finishing.
View the Sphinx, which seems to be made of limestone, has the body of a lion, and a head of a pharaoh, and symbolizes strength and wisdom.
Your tour guide will tell you interesting stories about their construction, history, and the myths that surround these magnificent structures. Pose for great pictures in front of these wonders of the ancient world.
After that pyramids tour, relax while drifting on the Nile for half an hour in a felucca. Enjoy Cairo's views while gliding smoothly along the water in this classical wooden vessel. Sit back and unwind with the wind in your hair. The whole adventure is made all the more enticing when the location is a glide over the Nile. While the familiar high-rises, modern-day architecture, and riverside landmarks glare in stark contrast against ancient relics, this sailing over the Nile can hold one enthralled in a dream.
You will have a hearty Egyptian meal in a restaurant we suggest. Grilled meat, rice, fresh bread, and local specialties are some items you would taste, reflecting Egypt's beautiful culinary tradition. Koshari, an Egyptian specialty that mixes rice, lentils, and pasta with spicy tomato sauce; or molokhia, a green soup that's eaten in Egypt with either bread or rice, will probably be among the signatures of that restaurant. Such a break probably meets the requirement for some enjoyment of many flavors that have long settled into the culture of Egyptians.
You may also opt for a trip to some of Cairo's top local bazaars and markets. Get some crafted souvenirs; buy traditional jewelry and other treasures such as aromatic spices. Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest markets in the Middle East, is the perfect stop where you shouldn't miss in getting authentic Egyptian handiworks. Fine wool carpets, superbly wove.
