Description
13 Day Egyptian Treasures – a fabulous tour of Egypt with return flights from Australia and included Nile Cruise. Travel to Egypt this year for a bucket-list trip. Marvel at the awe-inspiring ancient Pyramids of Giza and the enigmatic Sphinx. The Great Pyramids are a defining symbol of Egypt and the last original Seven Wonders of the World. The sight of these huge structures is unforgettable. Learn from your private Egyptologist guide on a tour of the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, home to the famous Tutankhamun exhibit and a huge number of other ancient Egyptian artefacts.
Enjoy all-inclusive hospitality as you cruise along the famous River Nile on a 5 star cruise ship. Sail for 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan, stopping at historical and interesting sights along the way.
Fly back to Cairo before making your way to the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria to visit the Catacomb and Pombay’s pillar. These marvellous relics are the largest Roman ruins outside of Rome. During the Hellenistic period, Alexandria was home to a lighthouse ranking among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World as well as a storied library. Today the library is reincarnated in the disc-shaped, ultramodern Bibliotheca Alexandria.
