Day 3  Cairo | Meals: B
We begin in Giza today, with a visit to the Great Pyramid of Cheop, one of the seven wonders of the world. This is the oldest and largest of the pyramids found in Giza. We also see the grand Sphinx, the great god-lion sentinel built over 35 centuries ago. The towering pyramid stands majestially on a desert plateau with two slightly smaller pyramids erected to preserve their bodies and treasures for the afterlife. Sharpen your bargaining powers for later, when we stop at the bazaars.

Day 8  Aswan | Meals: BLD
After breakfast, disembark and visit the High Dam. Construction was completed in 1971. The stone and metal used could have built 17 pyramids the size of Cheops Pyramid and 15 Eiffel Towers! You'll also visit the unfinished obelisk. If it had been finished, the obelisk would have weighed 2.3 million pounds -- the largest piece of stone ever handled! On to Philae and the Temple of Isis. Isis was the sister and wife to Osiris, son of Re. After Osiris was killed and dismembered by his brother Seth, Isis found all of the parts and miraculously put them together. Enjoy lunch on board and then later enjoy a relaxing felucca ride around Kitchener's Island (Botanical Island). General Kitchener was the Consul General for England. He indulged his love of plants and flowers and designed a lovely garden filled with plants from India, the Middle East and the Far East. Although not kept to Col. Kitchener's standards, the gardens attract a wide variety of birds and the cruise is a delightful way to enjoy the sights and sounds of both the plants and the birdlife. Return to the ship for dinner and overnight.

    Day 3  Cairo | Meals: B
    We begin in Giza today, with a visit to the Great Pyramid of Cheop, one of the seven wonders of the world. This is the oldest and largest of the pyramids found in Giza. We also see the grand Sphinx, the great god-lion sentinel built over 35 centuries ago. The towering pyramid stands majestially on a desert plateau with two slightly smaller pyramids erected to preserve their bodies and treasures for the afterlife. Sharpen your bargaining powers for later, when we stop at the bazaars.

    Day 8  Aswan | Meals: BLD
    After breakfast, disembark and visit the High Dam. Construction was completed in 1971. The stone and metal used could have built 17 pyramids the size of Cheops Pyramid and 15 Eiffel Towers! You'll also visit the unfinished obelisk. If it had been finished, the obelisk would have weighed 2.3 million pounds -- the largest piece of stone ever handled! On to Philae and the Temple of Isis. Isis was the sister and wife to Osiris, son of Re. After Osiris was killed and dismembered by his brother Seth, Isis found all of the parts and miraculously put them together. Enjoy lunch on board and then later enjoy a relaxing felucca ride around Kitchener's Island (Botanical Island). General Kitchener was the Consul General for England. He indulged his love of plants and flowers and designed a lovely garden filled with plants from India, the Middle East and the Far East. Although not kept to Col. Kitchener's standards, the gardens attract a wide variety of birds and the cruise is a delightful way to enjoy the sights and sounds of both the plants and the birdlife. Return to the ship for dinner and overnight.
