Cairo is not only just one of the world’s most ancient cities, its 5,000-year history has left a footprint that is still tangible today, making any visit an amazing walk through the past.  No one can deny the awesome majesty of Giza’s Great Pyramids, the Pharoah’s most enduring legacy, and you have to really pinch yourself to make sure you are really there when standing in front of the Sphinx!  Explore Cairo’s Coptic churches that have functioned in situ since Biblical times.  Wander through the great Khan-el-Khalili bazaar where Caireens have been buying carpets, gold, spice, silks and jeweled swords before time was even measured.  Admire the delicate architecture of the city’s many mosques.  Let your expert guides, all with a degree in Egyptology teach you about the many layers of Egypt’s past as you tour the world-famous Egyptian Museum.  And, just to keep it all in perspective, your day trip to Alexandria on the Mediterranean Sea, will show you another side of Egypt’s history.  Here you feel and see the influence of the ancient Greeks and the Romans for whom Alexandria was an important port.  The many buildings built by these two great civilizations are beautifully preserved and your local guide will bring them to life as you step back into the past.  This may be just a brief encounter but it contains many of the glories that define Egypt.
