The trip day by day

The First Encounter with Cairo

Arrival in Cairo and the first encounter with the most chaotic and captivating city of the East.

With a flight to Cairo, the capital of Egypt and one of the world's largest metropolises. As you leave Europe behind, a world of contrasts unfolds before you — thousands of years of history, vibrant rhythms, and images unlike those of any other city.

Arrival in the afternoon, meeting with the local representative, and transfer to the hotel for check-in.

The city's first impressions gradually reveal themselves — the lights, the movement, and the Nile flowing through the city create an almost cinematic setting.

For the evening, a relaxed first outing or dinner with a view of the river is suggested.
