3. Pharaonic Village
Take a step back in time; about three thousand years back, to be exact. Just a few miles from the
center of Cairo is a time machine waiting to take you on a fantastic journey to the days of the Pharaohs, a time brought to life by an incredible group of actors and actresses, faithful and exact reproductions of buildings, clothing, and lifestyles; and of course, the redoubtable
At the Pharaonic Village, visitors sail on comfortable motorized barges down a network of canals and
view incredibly accurate tableaux of the recreation of ancient Egyptian life. Though the city of Cairo surrounds the island, not a trace of it penetrates the thick wall of trees planted around the island. Sights include recreations of industries, games, arts, and moments from history and legend. Services such as cafeterias, boat rentals, a children's playground and a restaurant that serves both Egyptian and European dishes help to make your stay even more enjoyable.
The Pharaoh and His Court Greet You at the Temple
The temple above is only one example of the exacting details that have gone into making the past
come to life at the Pharaonic Village. Over a hundred actors and actresses perform all the daily activities and arts of the ancient Egyptians, including agriculture, pottery, sculpture, weaving, and much more. Everyone that would have existed in an ancient Egyptian city is here in the modern recreation, from pharaohs to fishermen, from potters to priests.

ACCOMAPNYING PERSON PROGRAM…
Pyramids & Sphinx:
Were reckoned by the Greeks to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A single pyramid is built of 2,300,000 blocks, each weighing an average of two and one–half tons. In the face of such immensity, one cannot help but feel the wonder and awe that so many writers & artists have sought to convey over the centuries. The Cheops Pyramid is especially interesting since its interior burial chambers are open for inspection by the public. Not far from the Pyramids is the Great Sphinx of Giza, which dates from the time of Chephren (2620BC). Hewn from natural yellowish limestone & standing 65 feet high & 187 feet long, this unforgettable statue combines the head of a Pharaoh with a lion’s body.
Egyptian Museum:
The Egyptian museum is the most important depository of Egyptian antiquities anywhere in the world. It features artifacts from the Pharaonic and Greco-Roman periods, including the celebrated mummies of ancient Egypt’s king and Tut Ankh Amun treasures.
The Citadel, Mosque & Khan Khalili Bazaar:
Situated on a spur of the Muqattam Hills, the citadel dominates Cairo’s skyline and was the nerve center of the city and Egypt for almost 700 years. Its construction was initiated in 1176 by Saladin and completed by Muhammad Ali. Mameluke Sultans and Turkish governors later on made it their residence, building palaces and mosques within the citadel walls. Facing the citadel is the Mosque of Sultan Hassan, built between 1356 and 1363 and perhaps the most majestic monument of Arab architecture in Egypt. The tour also includes a visit to Khan El Khalili, a famous Cairo bazaar dating back to the late 14th century.

PRE & POST TOURS... Cairo, the city, which holds more than 15 million citizen, is a capital, which offers day & night
entertainment for all its visitors. Being in Egypt, one can not miss the opportunity of visiting and admiring the most valuable treasure History has granted us , that is Luxor & Aswan and the surrounding cities. As these areas are away from Cairo, Pre & Post Tours have been tailor made for the convention participants and their accompanying guests to enjoy. If you choose the Nile Cruise Trip to travel in Upper Egypt it will last for 4 nights/5 days, and added to your trip will be the romance of the Nile River. The boat will embark from either Luxor or Aswan and will stop at the main cities in between. Delegates looking for shorter trip, a land tour “Red Sea Fantasy, Sinai Land “will also be arranged. This tour will be 3 nights / 4 days and include most of the cities in Upper Egypt. During which, guests will enjoy their stay at Hotels originally used as dwellings for the old Kings of Egypt.

Nile Cruise Programs - Category 5*
The fabled water of the Nile is a stirring sight for travellers no matter how blaze or world-weary they may be. Cruising along the Nile, to meet with the kings, queens and gods of a civilization that goes back 6,000 years along the same magnificent “highway” the pharaohs themselves travelled as they made history happen. There is an elusive thrill that comes from having sensed, through the sights, sounds and smells of a special place, the collective experiences of the centuries. Travellers will seek this thrill of historic recognition through the Nile - whose banks are lined with ancient villages, temples, cotton fields and date palms, all unchanged since biblical time. What better way to experience such ancient history? A trip through time along the world’s most famous waterways is an experience to be savoured and cherished... and for the lucky few, repeated.

Sinai and Red Sea
“The Red Sea is a corridor of marvels... the happiest hours of my diving experience has been spent there...” Jacques Cousteau One of the few remaining places on earth almost untouched by modern civilization is Sinai “the Land of Turquoise”, the rocky triangle of holy places, pilgrim trails and military outposts. Modern visitors follow in the footsteps of legendary gods and goddesses, ancient warriors and biblical heroes. Sinai remains a land of verdant oases, flat desert expanses and towering granite mountains, where the Goddess Isis came in search of Osiris; where Alexander the Great fought; where Moses received the Ten Commandments; and through which the Holy Family travelled en route to Egypt. The “mare rubum” of the Romans, the Red Sea has been called the “red” by Europeans since antiquity, a name that has also been taken over by the Arabs, El Bahr El Ahmar, due to the colour of various mountain ranges bordering the sea. It runs from North to South-East for about 1,600 miles in length and 120 to 240 miles in width, the Red Sea is nature’s beautiful gift. One of the last frontiers to be discovered by avid adventures and enthusiasts, this tropical sea has slightly varying climatic conditions all year round, not to mention water clarity, and the spectacular and diversified marine life, which makes it famous for coral reefs and their inhabitants.
