TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
:
Welcome to the cradle of the most ancient of civilizations. Step
in and you shall be a part of the rustic landscape; ochre, humid
and dry. Arrive Cairo, city that hums silently of its heritage.
Sculptures, ruins and the city of Pharaoh. All await in silence.
Get to feel the blue expanse of the great River. Proceed to the
star attraction of Egypt: the Pyramids. They turn alive with stories
echoing from the past about the myths and truths of the Pharaohs
and their Queens. The nostalgic journey then brings you to Heliopolis
the existing site for the Cairo International Airport. It glows
with the old world charm of having myth logically linked with
the Sun God Ra! And of course the much talked about, Mummies.
While you depart something seems to cling on with us magical memories
of this ancient land.
