This year, instead of booking your usual beach vacation in Florida, why not try a different type of vacation adventure? Try taking a vacation outside of the United States and venture to the Middle East for a fun-filled getaway. Cairo, Egypt, is home to so many beautiful and historic attractions. You will never want to return home after your vacation to the land of the Nile and Great Pyramids. By contacting a traveling company, you can book the perfect Cairo tour package that will take you to some of the top attractions throughout the country.

No Trip’s Complete Without the Pyramid

One of the most popular attractions in Cairo is the Pyramid in Giza. This iconic landmark is thousands of years old and is the historical burial chamber of Khufu. The ancient site attracts thousands of visitors each year and as a guest, you will enjoy the chance to roam around the inside of the pyramid.

The Lure of the Great Sphinx

Of course, no Egyptian getaway is complete without a visit to the great Sphinx, located close to the Great Pyramid. Unlike the Pyramid in Giza, photography is allowed at the Great Sphinx. In fact, many guests enjoy taking photos far away from the Sphinx and pretending that the landmark is actually quite small. You may have seen people in photos pretending to hold the Sphinx in the palm of their hand.

A Trip to the Pharaonic Village

Another famous attraction in Cairo is the Pharaonic Village. By taking this excursion, you will enjoy a cruise through many ancient Egyptian settings. Along the way, you will see reenactments of how the pharaohs really lived thousands of years ago. At the end of the journey, you can shop at some of the local gift shops and enjoy delicious restaurants before you check out the Cleopatra Studio where you can try on Egyptian clothing and take plenty of photos.

Check Out the Egyptian Museum

Finally, you can finish your Cairo adventure by visiting the Egyptian Museum. General admission is very affordable and will enable you to see many historic artifacts from ancient Egypt. Then, by paying a small extra fee, you can see the world-famous mummy room where many of the world’s most famous rulers now rest. Book your Cairo tour package today and enjoy the vacation of a lifetime. This Egyptian getaway will be an adventure you will treasure for years to come.
