Classifieds: Travel | | Historical Cairo-3 nights! | | Posted By: Concept Voyages at: 10, Dec 2010 4:48:34 PM IST | Day 1 Cairo: Arrive at Cairo international Airport. Meet and greet by Concept and transfer to hotel. Free evening at leisure. Overnight stay at hotel
Day 2 Cairo: After breakfast proceed for visit The Great Pyramids & Sphinx, though the three Great Pyramids are the most famous and prominent monuments at Giza, the site has actually been a Necropolis almost since the beginning of Pharaonic Egypt. A tomb just on the outskirts of the Giza site dates from the reign of the First Dynasty Pharaoh Wadj (Djet), and jar sealings discovered in a tomb in the southern part of Giza mention the Second Dynasty Pharaoh Ninetjer. But it was the Fourth Dynasty Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops) who placed Giza forever at the heart of funerary devotion, a city of the dead that dwarfed the cities of the living nearby. On its southwest diagonal is the pyramid of his son Khephren (Chephren, Khafre). Although it is smaller, a steeper angle results in the illusion that they are the same size. Further along the southwest diagonal is the smallest of the three, the pyramid of Khephren''s son, Menkaure. It is also the most unusual. Visit their guardian the Sphinx with the body of a lion and head of a human. Afternoon visit the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. On display is the rare collection of 5000 years of art, the largest most precious collection of Egyptian art in the world. Over 250,000 genuine artefacts are presented, including an exhibition dedicated to the Tutankhamen collection of treasures, gold and jewellery, as it was enclosed in his tomb for over 3500 years before it was discovered in the 1920s when his tomb was excavated. Later start your visit to Khan El Khalili Bazaars. Shops in this district are legendary for fine brassware, copper, perfumes, leather, silver, gold, antiques and more. Return back to hotel for overnight stay.
