Conference Excursion
No trip to Egypt is complete without a visit to the timeless lion-bodied Sphinx and the Great Pyramids of Giza. A visit to the Egyptian Museum with its enormously rich collections is another must. Turn back the pages of time to over 4,000 years as you explore these lofty monuments in Egypt's vibrant Capital. Join us on the conference excursion, included in the registration fee for all participants and their registered accompanying persons! This full day of tours on 26.02.2008 will commence at around 8:30 and will end at around 17:00 Lunch will be provided.
Daily Guided Tours
Explore the "Jewel of the East", on our package of daily guided tours in the vibrant and pulsating heart of Egypt, Cairo. Enter a gateway to the past as you explore over 2,000 years of Coptic and Islamic civilisation, from Saladin's Citadel, to the Christian churches of Babylon. Enjoy the excitment of shopping (and haggling) in the famous Khan al-Khalili bazaar, and the memorable coffee and chatter of its traditional coffee houses.
