Day 1
Mon, March 27, 2006
D
Arrive
Cairo, Egypt |
|
| |
|
|
|
Arrive at Cairo International Airport (CAI) according to your own
air schedule, or use TravelQuest’s special group air program, flying
nonstop from New York on EgyptAir. You might wish to arrive a day or
two early to recover from the long flight and explore Cairo on your
own.
Upon arrival, you’ll be met by our representative, who
will assist you through baggage claim, immigration, customs, and
then transfer you to our hotel in Giza, which is just a 15-minute walk from
the Great Pyramids - the last survivors of the
"Seven Wonders of the Ancient World." The rest of the day
is yours to relax at the hotel, have a rejuvenating
massage, enjoy a meal at one |
|
|
| |
of the hotel’s restaurants,
or experience a sunset visit to the pyramids and the Sphinx! Join us
this evening for dinner and a discussion about tomorrow’s journey
through the desert to Mersa Matrouh. |

Day 2
Tue, March 28
B/L/D
El Alamein WWII Museum and Cemetery / Mersa Matrouh |
|
|
|
After
breakfast, we’ll board our private motorcoach and drive northwest across
the desert toward El Alamein, the site of the great World War II battle
where German General Rommel and his Afrika Korps were routed by the
British General Montgomery, thus securing Cairo and the vital Suez Canal
for the Allied forces. We’ll stop at El Alamein to visit the war museum
and the Commonwealth War Cemetery. Continuing on to Mersa Matrouh, we’ll
have brief glimpses of the sea, as the highway parallels the Mediterranean
coastline. In the late afternoon we will arrive in Mersa Matrouh and our
hotel with its own private beach. Join us this evening for a pre-eclipse
briefing followed by a buffet dinner. |
