UMRAH PLUS EGYPT

Your spiritual journey begins! Arrive at Toronto Pearson International Airport 3 to 4 hours ahead of your flight. If you’re joining us from outside Ontario, allow ample time for potential domestic flight delays. Once at the airport, proceed to check-in and security – we’ll all meet at the gate. If you’ve received your Falcon Travel ID card, wear it with pride. Otherwise, our Sheikh or Group Leader (GL) will distribute them at the gate or on the plane.

Welcome to the land of pharaohs and ancient wonders! Upon your arrival at Cairo International Airport, our team will greet you and assist with your transfer to the Jaz Pyramids Resort, conveniently located near the iconic Pyramids of Giza. After check-in, take some time to freshen up and relax. As evening falls, we’ll whisk you away for a magical Nile cruise dinner. Enjoy the gentle sway of the Nile as you indulge in a delicious meal, accompanied by live entertainment and the sparkling lights of Cairo. Afterward, return to your hotel for a restful overnight stay.

Please note: the show includes a brief segment featuring a belly dancer. If you prefer not to attend this part, you’re welcome to step outside the show area and enjoy the serene views of the Nile from the deck, returning afterward to continue the evening.

After a hearty breakfast at your hotel, meet your personal guide for an unforgettable day of exploration. Your journey begins at the Giza Plateau, where you’ll stand in awe before one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the Great Pyramid of Khufu. As you explore the site, you’ll also visit the smaller pyramids, the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and the legendary Great Sphinx, with its enigmatic gaze.

Next, travel to Saqqara to witness the Step Pyramid of Zoser, the world’s oldest major stone structure, and explore the tombs and pyramids that tell the story of Egypt’s ancient civilization. The journey continues to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where you’ll marvel at the colossal Statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx. As the day draws to a close, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel for a well-deserved rest.

Start your day with breakfast at the hotel before heading out with your private guide to explore the treasures of the Egyptian Museum. Home to over 250,000 artifacts, including the golden treasures of King Tutankhamen, the museum offers a deep dive into 5,000 years of Egyptian history.

After lunch, your adventure continues with a visit to the historic Mohamed Ali Citadel, a fortress that offers panoramic views of Cairo.
