Alexandria Shore Excursion: Abdeen Palace & Giza Pyramids Tour
Overview
Alexandria Shore Excursion: Abdeen Palace & Giza Pyramids Tour
A visit to port Alexandria is a great opportunity to experience Cairo, the center of Egypt. This tour from Alexandria to Cairo coagulates two memorable highlights: the ageless magnificence of the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx and the cultured majesty of Abdeen Palace, one of Cairo’s incredible royal residencies. You will experience the ancient world of the pharaoh's and the glory of Egypt's present in one day.
From Alexandria Port to Cairo’s Treasures
Upon departing the Mediterranean port of Alexandria, you will begin making your way to Cairo, a city whose streets are alive with the richness of history. Leaving the ocean breezes behind in favor of inland desert vistas signifies the transition into a day that is meant to connect seven thousand years of history.
The Giza Pyramids – A World Icon
Your first stop on the tour is the Giza Plateau. This UNESCO World Heritage site contains three of the world’s best-known pyramids: Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. These pyramids are more than 4,500 years old and still leave us wondering and amazed. Strolling around the size and unique shape of the pyramids, you appreciate the brilliant engineering and ingenuity of ancient Egyptians. Nearby, the Great Sphinx looks outward at all the many tourists and gazes across the desert towards the pyramids with its mysterious expression. Your professional Egyptologist will help to turn the stones of Giza into history.
Abdeen Palace – Cairo’s Royal Gem
Starting with the ancient wonders, your excursion turns a very different page to Egypt's 19th century. Khedive Ismail ordered the construction of Abdeen Palace as the actual home of the royal family of Egypt, and subsequently the formal palace of the new state. The elaborate schemes of the interiors were enhanced with chandeliers and ceiling rooms epitomizing the elegance, sophistication, and charm of a golden era when Egypt was at the pinnacle of its grandeur. Cairo was a cultural hub. Today, parts of the palace now serve as museums, showcasing priceless collections of royal treasures, a collection of important historical documents, and strange gifts to the royal family from head-of-state in their function as head-of-state. Abdeen is a buck of the country's relatively recent elapsed and royal history.
A Journey Through Time in One Day
Few outings offer you such a broad span of history in one day. You are standing in front of the pyramids of pharaohs in the early morning, and by afternoon, you are exploring halls where kings and presidents have shaped modern Egypt. This contrast makes the tour a perfect opportunity for travelers who prefer to see more than the anticipated highlights.
