Pyramids, Mummies and treasures : If that's all you have heard of Egypt. Get this : Paper, ink , police, calendar , locks , makeup , wigs, toothpaste and even mints came from Ancient Egypt.
We expect the trippers to reach Cairo Airport by afternoon 12 pm today. After dropping our luggage in hotel, we head to see the Pyramids and Great Sphinx of Giza.
Did you know Sphinx is the oldest known monumental sculpture in Egypt? ( 2558–2532 BC).
We will end with a visit inside a pyramid , which can be a surreal and awe-inspiring experience. The entrance to the pyramid is a narrow and steep descent, leading to a series of chambers inside the structure. It would take about 30 minutes.
Post evening tea, we head to the Egyptian Museum which is hosting artefacts from 2023 that has never been shown to public. Pharaoh Tutankhamun's treasure and its iconic gold burial mask kept here, is supposedly one of the best-known works of art in the world. Today's day end with an Egyptian meal: Fatteh.
Tonight, we are going to a special cafe with a rich history originally made in 1486. Imagine that.
Nestled in the heart of Cairo's Khan el Khalili district ,this café, was once a war refugee center and belonged to a Princess.
Over the years, the house changed hands and is situated in the outdoor plaza of this Fatimid architectural marvel, and the underground crypt of the house serves as a reminder of the significant role it played in the fight against French occupation in 1798. No we aren't revealing the name of our secret spots.
(Egypt) is a great place for contrasts: splendid things gleam in the dust.” “But in the desert, in the pure clean atmosphere, in the silence – there you can find yourself.
Imagine waking up to this view ! Yes, we will be staying in a Pyramid facing hotels. Today , we will start our 4 hour journey early to Baharia desert.
The White Desert is a natural wonder that you simply can't miss. It is an otherworldly landscape of white limestone formations that have been sculpted by wind and sand over millions of years. The stark white formations against the blue sky create a surreal and almost alien-like atmosphere.
Today we will be camping in the desert. If you are looking for an extremely luxurious group trip , this one probably isn't one. This is designed for people who want to see more landscapes , have more raw experiences than spending time inside a hotel room. Someone wise had said this : That Luxury hotel rooms are those inventions that keep you away from real culture and raw travel experiences.
There is a significant amount of effort that went in to curate this masterpiece itinerary & we want to make sure you know what you are signing up for. No bad surprises , we only want to give you the good ones.
Once you sign up we will be sharing with you a packing list and what to expect with all the activities involved too.
You will have simple tents like this for the night , sleeping bags, a good dinner , campfire , some stories and a lot of black tea.
I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room."— Ray Bradbury
Today , we will trace our way back to Cairo . We will be back by 4pm and post which , We will be visiting the Khan el-Khalili market where we all will pick one perfume each of your choice : This is on Team OJ 🙂
