Every year, visitors travel to the favourite destination of Sharm from United Kingdom. They come to relax by the beach or pool. Some want to dive and other spend hours snorkelling on close by reefs. There are plenty of tours on offer for visitors and travellers to Sharm and one of the more well liked ones is an excursion to Egypt's major city, Cairo.
Cairo is home to the world renowned Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx but the day journeys to Cairo offer way more than simply these age-old monuments. From Sharm el Sheikh, day-trippers can either get to Cairo by road or air. Either way, its an early start with trips leaving at approximately 2 in the morning and flights at close to 5 in the morning. It makes for a long day ahead however it is unquestionably worth the effort.
Schedules may alter on trip to trip but continually starts with a visit to the Cairo Museum or to give it's correct title "The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo". About all the morning is spent at the museum and it's full with some renowned pieces. A considerable number of the more wonderful pieces are those discovered in the tomb of the boy Pharaoh Tutankhamen which include the important gold and blue death mask. There also are a decent number of pieces of furniture and ornaments and one thing that's evident is how well the colors are saved in many of the treasures taking under consideration they are thousands of years old. All the same there is too much to explore in the museum so travellers have to select the areas they'd like to view.
From the museum, the group is taken down to the Nile for a meal on a brook ship. There is a decent selection of food and for entertainment there are also dancers. On the other hand, it's feasible to enjoy the Cairo skyline pass by as you sail up and back to your starting point.
Next are the Pyramids of Giza. Looking at lots of stills, you may be forgiven for thinking the Pyramids are in the middle of the desert but that is not the situation. The Pyramids and Sphinx are largely on the edge of Cairo. It is very tough not to be astounded the moment you get up near to the Great Pyramid thanks to the actual size of the it. You'll be able to have a good amount of time here to stroll round the Pyramids and there are no shortage of folk attempting to sell you a broad variety of souvenirs or rides on their camels. There are sufficient possibilities for photos before the tour coach drives you a bit further down to the Sphinx. Just as before, you'll be given the opportunity to purchase a selection of keepsakes and there are further picture prospects. Nonetheless the Sphinx has not worn so well as the Pyramids which suggests you can not get as near to it. It is late afternoon as the group leaves Cairo's most prominent holiday maker sights there is, however, still time for two more visits.
The first of these stops is at a scent shop where your are invited to try a couple of the a lot fragrances the store offers. Next the tour coach gets under way to travel back to the airfield with one remaining stop on the way. Papyrus is the paper like material made by the historic Egyptians from the pith of the Papyrus reed. It was employed to draft on but today, it is a familiar visitor souvenir, usually with pictures of age-old Egyptian gods and similar pictures. At the Papyrus shop, there is a good range of Papyrus available and holiday makers can also enjoy a demonstration of how current day Papyrus is made.
The tour coach leaves and the tour group to Cairo is over. The excursion now revisits the airport for the flight back to Sharm el Sheikh or the road journey. The day journeys to Cairo from Sharm el Sheikh are quite tiring but are good value. For holiday makers staying in Sharm, it is a fantastic way to see a few of the sights of Cairo without staying there.
