As you arrive in Cairo, you will be greeted by your tour guide at the Cairo International Airport, and will then be escorted to the luxury Le Méridien Pyramids Hotel and Spa in a modern air-conditioned vehicle.

Our consultant will stay with you to ensure that your check-in process goes smoothly, and to look over your holiday itinerary with you. They will also want to confirm pick-up times for each tour.

With business taken care of, enjoy a complimentary "Welcome" drink and enjoy the rest of the day as you wish.

Following breakfast, your personal tour guide will bring you to the Giza Plateau where you will see the Great Pyramids of Cheops, Chefren, Mycerinus, and the world-famous Sphinx. Each of these sites is believed to vary between six thousand and thirteen thousand years old, making them a true sight to behold.

After this, you will visit the Egyptian Museum along with the treasure room for the child king Tutankhamun.

Meals: Breakfast Lunch

Finish breakfast and you will be ready to begin your great Egyptian adventure. You will first stop in the town of Bubastis, now known as Tel-Basta. Here, Jesus gushed forth a spring of water to drink.

You will see the holy well, and then visit ancient Philippos (Belbeis). Here the three rested beneath a tree that came to be known as The Virgin Mary Tree, which is now at Saint George Church.

Nearby is Saint Abanoub Church which features the famous holy well. Take lunch in Tanta city on the way back, and stay overnight in Cairo.

That being the case, it is thought to be one of the most famous valleys in Egypt. It is also believed to be the home of asceticism and worship, and there are still four monasteries around today.
