Three days is enough to meet the last standing Wonder of the Ancient World, stand face to face with Tutankhamun's treasures, and get lost — happily — in a thousand-year-old bazaar. This program is built for first-time visitors who want Cairo's headline sights without a rushed, box-ticking pace.
Every day includes hotel pickup, a licensed Egyptologist guide, and a private air-conditioned vehicle.
