Egyptian Classic Package
Wherever you go in the Middle East you’ll sense the presence of the many ancient civilizations which have populated this mystical land. Egypt
Your first stop in Egypt will take you to Cairo you will see the great Pyramids touching the 3,500 year old sandstone. What an amazing feeling! One can almost see himself standing beneath that Pyramid during the time when Pharaohs ruled and the Gods were worshiped. In the distance you would see workers building the next pyramid while Queens and Pharaohs would lounge around, supervising. Imagine, Lotus flowers and papyrus growing alongside the majestic river, workers making papyrus paper which would later be placed in the tombs. All the work and effort that was placed into the tombs was incredible and the meaning behind each God and the hieroglyphics are enough to boggle anyone's mind.
Second Stop will be Aswan, Egypt's sunniest southern city and ancient frontier town located about 81 miles south of Luxor, has a distinctively African atmosphere. Its ancient Egyptian name was Syene. Small enough to walk around and graced with the most beautiful setting on the Nile, the pace of life is slow and relaxing. Days can be spent strolling up and down the broad Corniche watching the sailboats etch the sky with their tall masts or sitting in floating restaurants listening to Nubian music and eating freshly caught fish.
Then we will take you to Luxor, often referred to as the "world's greatest open air museum", is considered to be the premier travel destination in Upper (southern) Egypt and the Nile Valley. Luxor is sure to captivate you, whether with the ruins of the temple complex at Karnak, the Luxor Temple or with its many other monuments, temples and tombs residing on the West Bank of the Nile where the Pharaohs, their Queens and noblemen of the 2nd millennium B.C. were buried with full religious and ceremonial trappings.
