A stop will be made at a government supervised papyrus emporium, then we will continue to the necropolis of Saqqara, home to the famous Pyramid of Zhoser. This ancient monument dates back to around 2700BC and is surrounded by countless tombs and burial sites. After our tour, we return to Cairo for the evening.

The museum also makes use of new technology including virtual reality. After our guided tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum we head over to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization to visit the fascinating Royal Mummies’ Hall where the mummies of ancient Egyptian kings and queens are on display. Then there’s time to relax back at the hotel before we board the night train to Aswan this evening.
