Itinerário de 9 dias Cairo Alexandria & Siwa Oasis para grupos

Desfrute de um delicioso café da manhã no hotel e então nosso representante irá encontrá-lo no lobby do hotel para ajudá-lo a organizar suas viagens de um dia ao Cairo. A excitante excursão para as Pirâmides de Gizé será a primeira parada em seu itinerário. Estas são algumas das estruturas mais antigas e icônicas do mundo. Elas foram construídas há cerca de 4.500 anos pelos faraós egípcios como túmulos para si mesmos e suas famílias. Você também verá a Esfinge, uma criatura mítica com a cabeça de um homem e o corpo de um leão que guardou estes túmulos reais por séculos.

Depois deste passeio, siga para Saqqara Necropolis onde você verá mais pirâmides de períodos posteriores. Esta necrópole foi construída como cemitério para nobres durante o período do Velho Reino (2686-2181 a.C.). O local consiste de túmulos esculpidos em penhascos de rocha, bem como túmulos de mastaba com estruturas retangulares com lados inclinados que foram construídos durante este período.

Finalmente, visitaremos Memphis City - a capital do antigo Egito durante seu período do Novo Reino (1550-1069 a.C.). Aqui você terá uma visão geral da vida no antigo Egito através de visitas a vários locais, tais como templos, palácios e cemitérios.

This day-long excursion combines two of the most popular attractions in Cairo: the Egyptian Museum and Coptic Cairo. The tour begins with a visit to the massive Egyptian Museum, the largest in Africa, which houses more than 120,000 antiquities of Ancient Egypt. On your visit, you will see immense treasures that belong to five thousand years ago, including sculptures, mummies, and magnificent gold and silver objects.

Early on you will be driven to Coptic Cairo where there are many churches, monasteries, and other remnants of early Christianity in Egypt. You will see the Ben Ezra Synagogue and other historic sites including a visit to the Church of St. Sergius near the Citadel which houses a rare collection of Byzantine mosaics and icons.

Moving on you will visit Khan El-Khalili Bazaar, one of the last remaining markets from Cairo's medieval past. Here you can shop as much as you want or rest at a café as you watch people passing by while sipping tea and eating hummus.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

After breakfast, we depart for Alexandria, the historic port city on the Mediterranean Sea and Egypt's second-largest city. The city was made famous by the legends of Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, and Mark Antony, who ruled over Egypt from this strategic site.

Look for the ancient lighthouse of Alexandria, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Then continue to Cleopatra's Needle before visiting Pompey's Pillar and Fort Qaitbey.  Pass by Pompey’s Pillar, once a popular landmark for promenading noblemen and women under the reign of the Pharaohs. Admire some of Egypt’s most beautiful mosques at the Mosque of Ibn Tulun and Al-Hussein Mosque before stopping at Catacombs Sository to discover an ancient underground burial space.

On your way, your tour guide will tell you about the secrets of Alexander the Great in more detail and the story of his burial and his commandment to Ptolemy I to be buried there in Egypt.

The highlight of your day will be a visit to Taposiris Magna, an ancient ruin that reveals much about Alexandrian life in the time of Alexander the Great! After lunch at this site, join us for a city tour in Arabesque Square and visit El-Rashid Mosque which was built by Khedive Ismail.
