[{"title":"DAY 1: Tour starts in Cairo","name":"Cairo","description":"The tour begins at our Cairo hotel, located in Giza near the pyramids. The suggested group flights arrive in the evening and there are no meals or activities included today.","lat":"30.04442","lng":"31.235712"},{"title":"DAY 2: Cairo: Pyramids, Sphinx & GEM","name":"Cairo","description":"We wake this morning and enjoy our first Egyptian breakfast before starting our tour of Egypt with the most iconic of all sights. The three Pyramids of Giza, built around 2500BC to an astonishing level of accuracy, dominate the landscape and are instantly recognisable. We learn about the building and purpose of these great structures, built as tombs for the great Pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure of the ancient capital of Memphis. As we stroll around the area there may be the opportunity to go inside one of the pyramids (at own expense). We’ll spend the afternoon at the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) where we will see many of the incredible artefacts found by archaeologists in Egypt covering thousands of years from Pharaonic times to the Romans and Greeks. The museum will provide a great background for us in the coming days as we visit the various sites. (If the GEM has not yet opened we will instead visit Saqqara. The site at Saqqara is home to around a dozen pyramids and many smaller tombs, the oldest pyramid in Egypt and the Stepped Pyramid can be found here. We will then include the Egyptian Museum in Cairo on Day 3)","lat":"30.04442","lng":"31.235712"},{"title":"DAY 3: Cairo: Old City Monuments & Trades","name":"Cairo","description":"We’ll head into Cairo today to experience this busy city. Our first stop will be the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization which houses the Royal Mummies as well as a large textile exhibition, dating not just from the earliest Egyptians civilisations but through the more recent history, including some Islamic textiles, clothing and jewellery. Next we delve into Old Cairo, visiting the Citadel, built by Saladin in the 12th Century and occupied by Egypt’s rulers for 700 years. A number of additions were made by the Mamluks and we’ll visit the mosques and gaze out on the views across Cairo. Our visit today won’t just take in the historical buildings but will look into some of the traditional medieval industries that grew up in the backstreets of Khan el Khalili, each with their own quarter. We’ll see en-Nahaseen, the brass makers, crafting intricate homewares, el-Khayamya, the tent makers who create bright fabrics for celebrations as well as intricate embroidered cloth and the glass makers. At each we will learn how their craft has played an important role in the city. As we walk the alleyways we will also stop to see the traditional process of baking bread, making sweets and preparing local snacks such as falafel and koshari. We’ll be taking the overnight train to Aswan tonight so we will make our way to the railway station and board the sleeper train, enjoying a simple dinner on board in our cabins.","lat":"30.04442","lng":"31.235712"},{"title":"DAY 4: Aswan: Philae Temple & Dam","name":"Aswan","description":"We arrive into Aswan this morning, Egypt’s southern city set on the banks of the Nile and the gateway to Nubia. We’ll have breakfast before alighting the train and then see some of Aswan’s highlights, including the 42m-long unfinished obelisk still lying in a quarry, as well as the High Dam. We then board a boat on the Nile to take us to the Temple of Isis, known as Philae Temple, moved from Philae Island when the Aswan Dam was built and the Temple submerged. Philae had long been sacred to the Goddess Isis and the cult continued through Roman and Greco times before some temples were turned into churches and Coptic and Christian inscriptions added to the walls. Our guesthouse is on another of Aswan’s islands and we will arrive by boat to check-in before having an afternoon at leisure to relax and enjoy the views. In the early evening we will venture into Aswan to explore the lively markets and have dinner in the town.","lat":"24.088938","lng":"32.899829"},{"title":"DAY 5: Aswan: Desert Walk, Nile Sailing & Culinary Delights","name":"Aswan","description":"We’ll head to the west bank of the Nile today where the mighty Sahara Desert starts. We take a walk on a track through the desert visiting one of the villages before returning to the hotel by boat. This afternoon we set sail on a felucca, the traditional Nile sailing boat, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon taking in the vistas of the Nile and watching life on the river, from the ferry boats crossing to Aswan, traders selling their wares and the children who make the river their playground. We’ll be earning our dinner this evening in a family home where we will learn a few Egyptian recipes, as well as helping to make the dinner whilst enjoying chats with the family about life in Aswan.","lat":"24.088938","lng":"32.899829"},{"title":"DAY 6: Aswan – Kom Ombo – Edfu – Luxor: Nile Valley Temples","name":"Luxor","description":"A drive north through the Nile Valley today will take us via two impressive temples - Kom Ombo and Edfu. Standing on the bank of the Nile and dedicated to two gods, Sobek, the crocodile god and Horus, Kom Ombo temple has beautiful symmetry and here we can also visit the crocodile museum. Continuing on, we reach Edfu and the Ptolemaic Temple of Horus. This vast temple lay for centuries buried beneath so much sand that a village was built on top of it, and it is now one of the best-preserved temples in all of Egypt. Later this afternoon we arrive in to ancient Thebes, or modern day Luxor, and check in to our hotel.","lat":"25.687243","lng":"32.639636"},{"title":"DAY 7: Luxor: The Open Air Museum","name":"Luxor","description":"The West Bank of the Nile in Luxor is home to vast necropolises, ancient temples and colossal statues, all set amongst the fertile fields and rocky hills lying between the Nile and the desert. We will take a boat over the Nile to visit some of the most colourful and best-preserved tombs which once housed the sarcophagi of the ancient Thebans. We’ll take in the famous Valley of the Kings as well as the Valley of the Queens, as well as the beautiful Temple of Hatshepsut, sitting at the base of the 300m high cliffs. This afternoon we will head to the lesser-visited Valley of the Workers, home to the tombs of many of those who worked on the Valleys of the Kings and Queens. We finish the day at the Tombs of the Nobles.","lat":"25.687243","lng":"32.639636"},{"title":"DAY 8: Luxor: Epic Temples","name":"Luxor","description":"An early start sees us arriving at Karnak Temple around sunrise to take in the large site and wander amongst the immense hypostyle hall while it is quiet and peaceful, bathed in the soft early-morning light. Returning to the hotel for breakfast the rest of the morning and early afternoon are at leisure. We will visit Luxor Temple in the late afternoon when the stones glow in the late sunshine. After the visit we will have some time in the city's markets before a final dinner in the town.","lat":"25.687243","lng":"32.639636"},{"title":"DAY 9: Tour ends in Luxor","name":"Luxor","description":"This morning those on the suggested group flight will be transferred to the airport.","lat":"25.687243","lng":"32.639636"}]
