Cairo

This ancient city of legend, Cairo is the centre of activity for its multitude of historic landmarks, cultural events and entertainment activities. Regardless of whether the adventure you choose is be off the beaten tourist track or firmly on this trail, your experience will be unforgettable.

• Wakalat El Ghouri: Commonly referred to as Wikala Al Ghuri this is an impressive example of classical Islamic architecture originally built as an inn for travelling merchants and now the headquarters for Egyptian arts and cultural education.  Visit on any Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evening and you can see excellent performances of Sufi Dervish dancing by the Al–Tannoura Traditional Dance Troupe.

• Pharaonic Village: While the Pyramids of Gizeh and the Sphinx have been immortalized as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Pharaonic Village totally immerses you in the period of history surrounding their construction to life.

• Egyptian Museum of Antiquities: Neatly tucked away on the upper floor near the King Tut exhibit, you will find the Fayoum Portraits. This encaustic funerary art dates back to the Greco-Roman period of Egypt’s history.

Luxor

This modern city is built on the site of the ancient city of Thebes. Because of its many temples and monuments, the impression of the city is the same as you experience when visiting a museum.

• Temple of Madinet Habu: While the mortuary temple built by Ramesses III is the most outstanding structure here, it is the vibrantly coloured paintings of this temple which are the most extraordinary.

• Mummification Museum: Relatively new to the city, a trip to this museum before a journey to the Valley of the Kings or the Valley of the Queens is invaluable to understanding the Egyptian philosophy on death and the afterlife, the basis for the Necropolis of Thebes.

• El-Colossat: The Colossi of Memnon: This World Heritage site is where the massive twin statues of a seated Amenhotep III faces east, looking across the Nile River to the city of Luxor as they guard the entrance to his mortuary temple.
