This amazing experience combines those aspects of Egyptian culture which, centuries ago, distinguished it at as a leader in innovation, science, art and design. And underlying these were a rich history in the evolution of faith in all its forms.

This holiday has been crafted to showcase the very best that Egypt and Kenya has to offer. Egypt stands alone in having the only remaining relic of the 7 Wonders of the World, the amazing pyramids at Giza. And the historical legacy that the ancient Egyptians left the world are showcased in this amazing holiday. And if that wasn’t enough, then it’s on to Kenya.

This 3 days/2-night Cairo tour is, as are all our experiences, conducted as a private tour with luxury accommodation. The tour covers locations within and around Cairo that have earned Egypt the reputation as the world’s premier destination.

Five thousand years have transpired since the ancient Egyptians first produced perfume. Hieroglyphics found in Egyptian tombs dating from 3000BC verify that Egyptian priests were the earliest perfumers. And in ancient Egyptian mythology, Nefertem was the god of each morning’s creation and the god of perfumes and aromatics. Perfumes were associated with mystical functions and served as a gift from and to the Gods. Natural ingredients such as myrrh, frankincense, and cinnamon, were used to create unique fragrances. Perfumes became an important part of Egyptian life and were used by men and women.

In 2015, the Egyptian government announced an extraordinary project to build a new capital city. The project is perhaps the greatest undertaking in Egyptian history and ranks with the construction of the Suez Canal and the Great Pyramid project of the ancient era in terms of its scope and cost.

Since its opening in 2017, the Museum (NMEC) has gained an international reputation for excellence. It presents the richness, brilliance and innovation of Egyptian society through the ages. It’s themes include the Dawn of Civilization, The Nile, Writing, State and Society, Material Culture, Beliefs and Thinking and the Gallery of Royal Mummies. For travellers to Egypt, it provides deep insight to the amazing society that the Egyptians built from prehistoric days to the present. The Museum is in Al Fustat, an area at the heart of Egyptian history. The Museum houses 50,000 artefacts and also the ancient natural lake of Ain El-Sira.

The market dates to the 14th century when Emir Dajaharks Al-Khalili built a large market complex on the site of the Za’afran Tomb, which had been the burial place of the Fatimid rulers of Egypt. It was a massive necropolis for the Fatimid princes and sultans who once ruled Egypt.

The Egyptian government’s objective was to offer its citizens and visitors a place where they could see and learn everything about their Pharaonic civilization. Its foundation stone was laid by the former President Hosni Mubarak in 2002. It is part of a new master plan for the Giza Plateau, known as “Giza 2030”. And whilst it has taken years to fruition, the wait was certainly worth it. It is the largest archaeological museum devoted to a single civilisation in the world. Its outstanding design is awe inspiring with views of the neighbouring Giza Plateau (2 kilometres away) and pyramids ever present as you wander its enormous expanse. It occupies a site of over 50 hectares (123 acres).

Your Sheik El Sharm experience combines the very best that Egypt has to offer. Not only are able to experience the Great Pyramids of the Giza Plateau, but also the iconic Sphinx. Both are over 4,500 years old and a testament to the engineering brilliance of the ancient Egyptians. And for that reason, this tour includes a visit to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NEC). The museum captures the essence of both the pharaohs influence over Egypt but also the impact of both Christianity and Islam in shaping what Egypt is today. Over the last 2 years, the most notable of antiquities have been transferred to NMEC and the once diverse locations of artifacts of ancient Egypt are now complete histories within the museum. And central to this are the mummies of the most famous pharaohs in all Egypt which now reside at the museum.
