After your morning meal, a proficient guide will meet you at your Cairo accommodation and lead you on an amazing journey to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC). This museum displays a vast collection of ancient artifacts, including sculptures, paintings, pottery, and jewelry, dating back from prehistoric times to the present era. One of the museum's main attractions is the Royal Mummies Hall, which exhibits the preserved remains of several pharaohs and queens from the New Kingdom period, including Ramses II and Hatshepsut.
Furthermore, the NMEC offers interactive exhibits, multimedia displays, and educational programs, providing visitors with an opportunity to explore Egyptian history and culture in a vibrant and fascinating way. Additionally, it provides modern amenities such as a gift shop, a restaurant, and a conference center.
While in Ismailia, you will observe the Suez Canal, a man-made waterway that connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea and enables ships to travel between Europe and Asia without circumnavigating the southern tip of Africa. You will witness the impressive engineering that renders this waterway so vital and appreciates a panoramic view of the enormous boats traversing through the canal. Following that, you will enjoy a seafood lunch before being chauffeured back to Cairo.
