September 29th - October 8th |
Are you ready for the next dream singles
trip? The same singles travel company that arranged our Africa trip, which received very high marks from the members, are also
specialists in Egypt and have put together this incredible package. We start off in
Cairo where we will have 3 days on this
singles trip to take
in the wonders of Giza and the pyramids, Sphinx and Sakkara. The pyramids were reckoned by the Greeks to be one of the 7 wonders of
the world. In the face of such immensity, one can not help but feel the
wonder and awe that so many writers & artists have sought to convey over
the centuries. The Cheops Pyramid is especially interesting since its
interior burial chambers are open for visitors. Not far from the
Pyramids is the Great Sphinx of Giza, which dates from 2620 BC.
Hewn from natural yellowish limestone & standing 65 feet high & 187 feet
long, this unforgettable statue combines the head of a Pharaoh with a
lion’s body. Sakkara is one of the most exciting historical &
archaeological area in all of Egypt with its famous step pyramid of King
Zoser.We’ll visit Khan el-Khalili bazaar, once known as the Turkish
during the Ottoman period, is now referred to as the ‘Khan’.Our stay in
Cairo will be at the 4-star Ramese Hilton located on the banks of
the River Nile with views of the Nile and the Pyramids.
From
there our singles travel will take us to Aswan, 550 miles south of Cairo and our starting point
for our 3-night Nile cruise aboard
Sonesta

Aswan hosts some of the most spectacular monuments, including Philae
Temple, an unfinished obelisk and the Mausoleum of the a Agha Khan.

while Queen Hatshepsut’s temple lines the west bank of the great river.
The great city’s necropolis contains the
Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the
