05 Nights / 06 Days Golf Package (Cairo – Luxor) |
Day 1: |
Upon your arrival at Cairo International Airport you will be met and assisted by our Representative who will be holding a sign bearing your name (Please advise us of your exact international flight details: Airline, flight number and arrival time). Our Rep will guide you through luggage identification, portage and customs clearance. Then he or she will drive you by private air-conditioned car to your hotel and assist you with check-in. Overnight in Cairo |
Day 2: |
Breakfast at your hotel, then transfer to the Kattamiya Heights Golf Club to enjoy a round or golf (18 holes, 6780 yards, par 72). The club is conveniently situated near Cairo. That afternoon, visit the Egyptian Museum which houses a collection now exceeding 120,000 objects ranging from the prehistoric era to the Greco – Roman period. If you were to spend one minute at each exhibit it would take you nine months to see the whole collection! Of course, the main attraction is the treasures from Tutankhamen's tomb; these occupy a large area along two side of the upper floor. Chariots, gloves, jewelry, the famous death mask – a dazzling array of the antiquities from King Tut's tomb are displayed there. Then drive back to hotel. Overnight in Cairo |
Day 3: |
After your (included) breakfast at your hotel, our private professional Egyptologist and English-speaking guide will meet you and accompany you by air conditioned private car to visit The Three Great Pyramids of Giza, listed among the seven wonders of the ancient world. This is an experience not to be missed! The largest and oldest of the Pyramids is that of Cheops (Khufu). It was built in the 4th dynasty (about 2960 B.C.). The ancient Egyptians believed that the spirit continued to live eternally after death, so they placed wooden boats near each pyramid to be at the disposal of the king when he went on his journey with the sun god, Ra, in the afterworld. In the front of the Pyramid of Khephre, we find the Sphinx carved from a single piece of stone. Eulogized in poetry, enthroned in legend, the Sphinx has remained a symbol of strength, wisdom and mystery across the ages. The body of a lion with the head of a king or God, the Sphinx faces the rising sun and sits adjacent to a temple which resembles the sun temples found elsewhere in Egypt. Then move on to Hilton Pyramids Golf Resort to play at this spectacular course (18 hole, 5250 yards, par 68) in the shadow of the pyramids. Overnight in Cairo. |
Day 4: |
After breakfast at your hotel you will check out, after which our Rep will escort you by Private air-conditioned car to Cairo Airport to fly to Luxor. Upon arrival in Luxor you will be met and assisted by our Representative who will be holding a sign bearing your name. Our Rep will accompany you by private air-conditioned car to your hotel for check-in. Afterwards, proceed to the Royal Valley Golf Club to play 18 holes (6735 yards, par 72) with spectacular views of Luxor’s famous west bank. Return to your hotel. Our private professional Egyptologist and English-speaking guide will meet you at your hotel to accompany you by private air-conditioned car to visit Karnak Temple, built over 2000 years ago and dedicated to the Theben triad of Amon, Mut and Khons. Karnak can be a confusing place, its buildings spanning a long period in Egyptian history. Most visitors have very little time to see much of the temple, and many visits would be needed to familiarize yourself with the temple as a whole. Then visit Luxor Temple, central to the most important festival of the year for ancient Egyptians, the festival of Opet. The ancients believed that once a year during the inundation the divine image of Amun with his consort, Mut, and their son, Khonsu, would journey in their sacred barges from Karnak Temple to the temple at Luxor to celebrate the festival. Built largely by Amenhotep III and Ramesses II, it appears that the temple's primary purpose was to provide a suitable setting for the festival’s rituals. Then drive back to your hotel & overnight in Luxor. |
