Cairo Museum Suggestion : -Last day is ideal for those who wish to visit the Cairo Museum after visiting all the historical sites if you’re flying late & first day is also good for visiting Cairo museum if you are reaching early but you are already covering so many major historical temples, areas & buildings that you don’t really need to spend time here. The Cairo museum is good for those who are visiting egypt / Cairo city for 2/3 days.
Note : We are not doing the Nile cruise but this time we are staying in hotels that are close the Nile river. This is because of excess cruise tourism which has added to the Nile river pollution. The issue may sound small right now because it’s growing big at a very fast pace. (You can see it with your own eyes as well) Your itinerary is packed with lots of sight seeing & of you wish to add more to the itinerary then we are always open to the idea. Also, you can check the itinerary again as we have added some more pointers to enhance your experience.
We will assist you with the visa process (super easy for Indians now) and visa fees is already included in this package.
Note :
• TCS is full refundable so you get it back when you file your ITR . (TCS is now mandatory on international travel)
