Egypt - Cairo and Giza with On the Go Tours
/Egypt with On the Go
Egypt was one of the biggest highlights in my traveling. Many say do it on your own, but as two women traveling alone we decided to entrust On the Go Tours. There have a large array of things to do and see. We chose the 5 day package which included Pyramids, Giza, River boat cruise and museums. It was the best bet for our short trip.
On arrival we were met with a transport van and transferred to our hotel. We stayed at the Mena House Oberoi which was classified as 5 star deluxe, but for us the view of the pyramids was the true seller. As it was a late night flight we got some rest to be ready for the next days adventure.
On Day 2 we set out for Cairo to visit the famous pyramids and lion-headed Sphinx at Giza Plateau. Sole survivors from the ancient Greek listed seven wonders of the world. Whilst here, you we could have opted to enter the inside of one of the pyramids, but chose to observe from outside due to the narrow passages. The guide offered to set up camel rides for us if we would like. From Giza we traveled to the ancient necropolis of Saqqara, to explore the many tombs and temples and see Zhoser’s step pyramid. After the sites we washed up and headed to the river cruise for our dinner and entertainment. This was great until I realized I had melted ice in my drink. Things went down hill from here for my night.
