Itinerary
From the moment you arrive at Cairo International Airport, you will find our representative inside the makar to help with the necessary procedures, and then our representative, accompanied by an expert guide, will accompany you from the airport in a modern air-conditioned car to embark on a short but profound adventure that begins with the pyramids of Dahshur, where the Red Pyramid stands tall as the first complete pyramid in the world, and next to it appears the Curved Pyramid with its strange design that tells the story of the development of Pharaonic architecture. You will feel as if you are amidst the quiet sands and that you have the place all to yourself, away from the crowds of Giza.
Our next step will be Memphis, the first capital of ancient Egypt, to enter its open-air museum where you will be greeted by the majestic statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx, a scene that combines art, politics and religion in the height of civilisation.
And because no trip is complete without a touch of romance, we'll culminate our journey with a traditional felucca ride on the Nile. Here, the pace slows down, the white sails glide in the breeze, and the lights of Cairo reflect on the river's surface to give you moments of poetic serenity.
Finally, we'll take you back to the airport in time for your next flight, laden with a rare combination of the awe of history, the magic of the Nile, and the tranquillity of nature.
