Itinerary of the Day
One of the "greatest experiences of your life" commences with your flight connecting into CAIRO (Egypt).
Itinerary of the Day
At CAIRO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, you will be met by the 'TRAVEL HOUSE OF EGYPT' representative and transferred to the CAIRO SONESTA TOWER HOTEL (or similar Superior Comfort Level Hotel) for the remainder of your stay in Egypt.
Itinerary of the Day
A morning drive will bring you to SAKARRA, about 22 miles south of Cairo. Some of the oldest pyramids and a complex of pharaonic burial sites are found here. Next, you will visit the newly opened PYRAMID of DAHSHOUR. After lunch, a short drive will bring you to GIZA where you will marvel at the grandeur of the PYRAMIDS, including CHEOPS, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Seeing the ageless pyramids along the Nile is like stepping into a time machine. Coming face-to-face with the SPHINX, who has been staring into the desert for five-thousand years, is wondrous.
Optional Evening Opportunity to Experience the Sound and Light Show at the Pyramids
Itinerary of the Day
Following an early morning flight to LUXOR, begin with crossing the NILE to the West Bank and continue with a lively visit to the NECROPOLIS of THEBES, burial ground of the great Pharaohs, and also the COLOSSI of MEMNON. Today's highlight is visiting the fabulous VALLEY OF THE KINGS, where, so far, sixty-four Pharaonic tombs have been discovered, including TUTANKHAMEN'S TOMB. Winding through tunnels and corridors, you discover the TOMB OF SETI-I, an extraordinary underground complex with breathtaking paintings. After lunch, you first return to the East Bank of the Nile, seeing two of Egypt's finest temples, LUXOR and KARNAK. The 4000-year-old Karnak was the seat of Amon-Re, the Imperial God. It may just take your breath away as you survey the temple structure which focuses on the awesome HYPOSTYLE HALL. LUXOR, sacred to Amon, is beautiful with its impressive statues of Ramses II. There you will marvel at the inner sanctuary rebuilt by Alexander the Great . . . better yet, recognize familiar signs and symbols of temple worship which reveal the eternal nature of covenant making. An evening flight returns you to Cairo.
Itinerary of the Day
Experiencing CAIRO includes hearing about Islamic religion in the ancient mosques, and sensing the bustle of nearly 14-million people. Visiting the CITADEL, the MOSQUE and the BAZAAR is experiencing an enthralling mix of old and new. In the Bazaar you can begin practicing the ancient art of bargaining.

Optional MAGNIFICENT PETRA tour departs Cairo this evening.
Itinerary of the Day
Upon departing this morning, follow the ancient Israelites' route into the Holy Land through today's Kingdom of Jordan into Israel.
