please note: the tour as such is 3 days, the other 2 are arrival and departure. what does the tour offer in concrete?...
please note: the tour as such is 3 days, the other 2 are arrival and departure. what does the tour offer in concrete? hotel, transportation and english speaking guide. nothing else. Keep in mind that it does NOT include (obviously, because of the low cost price) tickets to places in the price, you will have to pay for them when you enter each part as an extra. If the guide is in Spanish it is an additional $100 US. For Luxor we recommend a plane, which cost us an additional $250 US per person. the tour includes a hotel in Giza, but we advise you to request a change from the beginning to a 4 star hotel in the dowtown of Cairo, if your budget allows it, but we consider it very necessary. the hotel as such is not bad inside, it was recent, but in Giza you will be dislocated, there is nothing to do there and the area was chaotic and not very clean. We had experience in both, and we found the dowtown in Cairo preferable. What to see in the 3 days of the tour itself (we spent more days on our own, so we added things that we considered important, that the tour does not mention): day 1 arrival. if you have time that day and you chose the cairo dowtown for the hotel, watch the sunset and dinner by the nile can be this day, there are boats (look for the 5 star ones, which has arabian dance show included), we pgmos one on our own (not with the tour) and it was nice. day. Giza and museum of antiquities. i think this itinerary should be modified, because the great museum has already opened and it is preferable to go to giza after the pyramids to the great museum than to the museum of antiquities, undoubtedly. if you choose the plane to luxor (which we did and it is our advice), we recommend that after the great museum you schedule another activity: go to the museum of antiquities, there you can officially conclude that day tour, but already there you can take advantage of the little time and we recommend that on your own you walk from there to tahrir square, then go to the pedestrian promenade the corniche next to the nile (you pay a low cost to enter that boardwalk, but it is one of the best kept) and dine in one of the boats that are there parked fixed corniche/nile, there are several restaurant boats like pier 88 or blue nile, etc. keep in mind that you have to book in advance. day 3. Luxor. we recommend 100% airplane, the first flight in the morning and return at 10 pm. it is important to define in time for availability of seats and prices, and thus organize the agenda of day 1 in the evening better. day 4. first visit the museum of civilizations, it is essential, it should be included in the tour that day in first order, then there yes the citadel saladino, we recommend that this visit is more abbreviated and go after lunch to the Coptic quarter (where he lived holy family) and from there spend time the rest of the day at the bazaar al khalili. day. 5 departure. the communication is good, they always answer you. but keep in mind what we mentioned about the hotel, although they were very kind and internally it was not bad, it was not a nice area. so make sure that the hotel name is clear from the beginning and that you feel comfortable in the location. the plane to luxor is also advisable. the tour staff was kind and helpful. the transportation people, the guides. the tour always answered messages. the guide in spanish, khaled, was very good. the hotel staff was kind, but we insist, it is advisable to pay extra for a better located hotel.Show more
