Drive across the desert from Alexandria to Cairo, learning about Egypt as you travel. It is about three hours to the capital city and, when you arrive, you will proceed to the Pyramids of Giza. The Cheops pyramid is the sole survivor among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Step inside one of the pyramids for an interior view of these colossal monuments (at your own expense).
Your Egyptologist guide will share fact and fiction with you as you continue to the Sphinx to see this mythical creature with its lion body crouching in the desert.
You will have time to browse at a local souvenir shop before proceeding to the River Nile to board a riverboat (time permitting), which also happens to be a fine restaurant. After lunch on board, relax for the motorcoach ride back to Alexandria.
Notes:
Service animals, including dogs, are not permitted at the Pyramids. Travel time to Cairo is approximately 3 to 3½ hours each way. Motorcoaches are required to travel in a police-escorted convoy and may be subject to security delays; your patience is appreciated. Time permitting, participants may have the opportunity to enter the Cheops Pyramid independently (at your own expense; approximately US$10); however, this is not advisable for individuals with claustrophobia or heart and respiratory conditions, as the interior is hot and stuffy, requiring visitors to bend and crouch at times. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, stones, inclines, gravel, sand, and many steps. Photography/video is not permitted inside the Pyramids of Giza. Terrain includes stairs and/or uneven surfaces. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. All regulations are subject to change without notice. Vessels used for the Nile cruise may vary in style and menu. Modest attire is recommended; knees, shoulders, and midriffs must be covered. Tight-fitting, transparent, or translucent clothing is not advisable. Please err on the side of conservatism with your attire. Minimum age is 6 years.
