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 motor coach ride back to Alexandria.
Notes: Inside visit of the pyramids is not recommended for guests suffering from claustrophobia, heart and breathing problems.If time permits, independent entrance to the pyramid may be possible (at your own expense, which is about $10.00 USD). Photography/video is not permitted inside the Pyramids of Giza. Participants must negotiate stairs and/or uneven surfaces and is therefore not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. Motor coaches are required to travel in a police-escorted convoy and may be subject to security delays. All regulations subject to change without notice. Vessels used for the Nile cruise may vary in style and menu. You are visiting a predominately Muslim country, dress appropriately, wear conservative dress that covers the shoulders and knees - trousers for men and trousers, skirts, or dresses for women. Due to site regulations and preservation considerations, no service animals are allowed at the Pyramids. There are already many stray dogs in the area which may lead to potential conflicts. At the Museum, service animals are restricted by the management.
