5天开罗与亚历山大圣诞之旅

Get ready for your big day today as you will get very close to the Egyptian marvel, the great pyramid of Giza during your Giza Pyramids tour.

Have your tasty buffet breakfast served at the hotel before meeting up with your accredited Egyptologist to start the first of your Cairo trips, today we will see the old kingdom necropolis in Saqqara and Giza Plateau, also we will see the place where the 1st capital of Egypt used to be, roughly 5000 years ago.

Start with your tour to Giza Pyramids to see the huge structures that were built by the great pharaohs of Egypt during the 4th dynasty, Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus. The three pyramids are believed to be built according to a group of stars with the main entrance locates to the north to serve as burial tombs for the semi-god kings. The biggest one belongs to King Cheops and your tour guide will get into details about why and how the great pyramids were built.

Proceed to the high spot to enjoy camel riding in Giza Pyramids (optional) and your Bedouin guide will capture impressive tricky photos for you.

Now we will see the Great Sphinx, the man-headed lion figure which is 73 meters tall and we will also enter the Valley Temple which is another interesting part of the funerary complex of King Chephren.

Your driver will take you to Saqqara Necropolis, about 45 minutes far from Cairo to see the oldest stone pyramid in Egypt, the Step Pyramid which was built by the famous architect Imhotep for his king, Djoser of the 3rd dynasty. The pyramid is a transitional phase in the development of the royal burial tombs.

We have the possibility to enter the Pyramid of Teti who ruled the country during the 6th dynasty and the tomb of his son in law, Kagemni tomb which is one of the most impressive tombs of the nobles for having a rich amount of offering and hunting acenes inscribed on its walls and still very well-preserved until now.

Have your delightful lunch meal in one of the good quality restaurants and transfer to Memphis, now known as Mit Rahina to see the open-air museum with its amazing artifacts, especially the alabaster sphinx of Memphis and the colossal statue of Ramses II, the new kingdom pharaoh who is the owner of the impressive Abu Simbel Temples in Aswan.

抵达亚历山大港的瞬间，您将沉醉于这座被誉为“地中海新娘”的古城之美。这座曾作为埃及首都近千年的城市，逐步发展为举世闻名的学术、哲学与商业中心，克利奥帕特拉、欧几里得、希帕提娅等历史名人都曾在此居住。

首站必访的庞培柱高约27米，由红色花岗岩铸成。此柱实非纪念罗马名将庞培，而是公元三世纪为颂扬戴克里先皇帝所建。它矗立于亚历山大塞拉皮姆神庙遗址中——这座宏伟神殿曾供奉希腊-埃及神祇塞拉皮斯。

随后您将探访中世纪七大奇迹之一的科姆·埃尔·肖卡法地下墓穴。这座壮观的地下陵墓在岩层中开凿出三层空间，内部陈列着法老时代、希腊与罗马时期的奇特混合文物：戴着古埃及王冠却具罗马特征的雕像、神话主题的浮雕壁画等。

随后将前往凯特贝城堡，这座中世纪要塞由苏丹阿什拉夫·凯特贝于15世纪建造。其修筑时采用了古法罗斯灯塔的石料——这座灯塔曾是古代世界七大奇迹之一。城堡雄踞地中海海岸线，坐拥壮丽海景与凛冽海风。

途中您将见到令人惊叹的亚历山大图书馆——这座2002年落成的文化中心旨在纪念古亚历山大图书馆。其圆形建筑宛若太阳圆盘，巨型书卷造型象征着亚历山大作为知识中心的历史地位。
