Experience Cairo & Aswan
This tour takes you to the two extremes of Egyptian culture, from the metropolis of Cairo to the serenity of Aswan. In Cairo, you witness the contrast of Egypt's ancient and modern history in one city. See the Great Pyramids of Giza with the backdrop of Cairo's urban landscape and the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities in the heart of Cairo's Renaissance-styled downtown. As we fly to Aswan, you will spend your time by The Nile where you can see vibrant colors of green in the countryside and the golden desert image which is unique to Egypt. There, you will have access to swimming the pristine waters of the Nile and sailing to hearty restaurants on one of the many islands owned by local families. Feast your eyes with history at the island Temple of Philae and the magnificent UNESCO heritage site of Abu Simbel among several other historical and cultural visits.
