ECHOES OF ANCIENT EGYPT

OVERVIEW

Start your journey in the heart of Cairo and explore a world where ancient history meets vibrant modern life. Then shift gears toward the spiritual serenity of Saint Catherine (Sinai), where peaceful mountains and sacred landscapes offer moments of reflection.

Finally, unwind by the beach, snorkel vibrant reefs, or simply soak in the charm of the coast.

Day 01 – Arrival in Cairo: Arrive at Cairo International Airport where our representative will welcome and assist you. Transfer to your hotel in a private vehicle. Check-in and relax. Overnight in Cairo. (D/B)

Day 02 – Cairo Sightseeing : After breakfast, embark on a fascinating journey to the Giza Plateau. Stand in awe before the legendary Pyramids of Kings Cheops, Chephren, and Menkaure. These monumental structures are among the most recognizable landmarks on Earth and stand as lasting symbols of ancient Egyptian civilization. Guarding them is the enigmatic Sphinx, carved from limestone with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, representing strength and wisdom.

Continue your tour at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. This world-renowned museum houses more than 120,000 ancient artifacts including mummies, jewelry, statues, and the dazzling golden collection of King Tutankhamun. Evening, proceed for Nile Cruise Dinner / Entertainment and return to your hotel for overnight (B/D)

Day 03 – Alexandria : Start your day early with a drive from Cairo to Port Alexandria. Your first stop is the Catacombs of Kom el-Shokafa, an ancient underground burial site with fascinating tunnels and tombs. Next, visit Pompey’s Pillar, a tall Roman monument made of red granite, one of the city’s historic landmarks. Then, head to Qaitbay’s Citadel, a historic fortress built on the site of the famous ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, offering great views of the sea. Finally, explore the Roman Theatre, an ancient open-air theater that gives insights into Roman-era entertainment and culture. After a day of exploring, return to Cairo in the evening. (B/D)

Day 04 – Drive to Saint Catherine (Sinai) : After breakfast, depart Cairo and drive approximately 6–7 hours to Saint Catherine. We will cross the red sea through the Suez Canal and enter the wilderness. We will then traverse the desert till we get to Elim, the place of the twelve springs (Springs of Moses). After taking some spiritual water, we gather enough energy to the deeper desert up to Sin, (Exodus 16), the scene of Manna & Quail. Then stop at Rephidim, where the Israelite’s fought the Amallekites (whenever Moses put his arms, the Israelite’s won). We will then proceed to St Catherine, near the foot of Mount Sinai, arrive and check in at your hotel near the monastery.  (B/D)
