You would be starting with your Cairo tour after having your sumptuous breakfast in the hotel. The capital city of Cairo is known for its ancient monuments and structures that glorified Egypt in the ancient as well as today’s world. First in the schedule will be the visit to one of the wonders of the world; The Great Pyramids and the Sphinx. These wonderful man-made creations are believed to be among the very ancient on this planet. The pyramids have a theory that they were built to hide the tombs of the Pharaohs (Kings). On the other hand, the Sphinx is a magnificent structure that flaunts the head of Pharaoh Afresh on the body of a lion. History of Egypt also states about the use of Papyrus in making paper in its ancient times. Thus, after your visit to the majestic Pyramids, head to the Papyrus Institute in the Cairo city. Originally a store house, it houses various ancient artwork that were done using only papyrus in the earlier times. Thus it serves as a good medium to absorb the ancient heritage of Egypt. Later on, visit the Papyrus museum where you can also shop for traditional souvenirs and handicraft items. Guests would also be visiting the nearby perfume factory and jewelry shop. Lunch would be served at a renowned Indian restaurant. Post that, head back to the comforts of your hotel. Feel free to head for a sound and light show in the evening, or embark on a dinner cruise. On the cruise, savor some of the best continental and oriental cuisines as the live entertainment of Belly dancers goes on right in front of your eyes. Overnight stay in Cairo.
