Join us on The Nile for Diva hosted lesbian group River Cruise - including a 3 night pre cruise stay in Cairo. Here we will explore the magnificent treasures and exciting atmosphere of Egypt's capital which holds the special accolade of being home to the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing: the Great Pyramid, completed around 2540 B.C. During your stay in Cairo we have two excursions.
The first takes us to see the great Pyramids of Giza – Cheops (Khufu), Chephren and Mykerinos, then to the Valley Temple, where the priests mummified the dead body of King Chephren, owner of the second pyramid at Giza Plateau. After lunch we continue to Sakkara, home to Zhoser’s step pyramid. The step pyramid was constructed by Imhotep, the pharaoh’s chief architect in 2700 BC, and was the template for all future pyramid construction, including the Great Pyramids of Giza.
Our second excursions takes us to The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, the oldest archaeological museum in the Middle East and houses the largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities in the world. After lunch, we continue to the Citadel of Saladin (12th century) first we will visit the famous alabaster mosque of Mohamed Aly Pasha (19th century) representing the Ottoman style of architecture.
After an amazing 3 nights in Cairo we are collected from our hotel and transferred to Cairo airport for a 1 hour flight to Luxor. On arrival we will be transferred to our cruise boat. We overnight in Luxor, with the evening at our leisure, ready to explore the city in the morning.
