Day 3: Cairo Full Day Tour Not in the Guidebooks Today's adventure takes you beyond guidebooks as you explore the enchanting Old Islamic Cairo. Begin your morning on the oldest street in Cairo, immersing yourself in the tranquillity of Islamic mosques away from the crowds. Guided by local experts, discover hidden gems and exclusive sites not typically accessible. Enjoy a traditional Egyptian breakfast before heading to the SEKEM community, a serene oasis just outside Cairo. Engage with nature and support organic farming initiatives, followed by a satisfying organic lunch.
Since its inception in 1977, the SEKEM project has worked wonders in transforming a barren desert into a thriving community. This exemplary initiative has brought life to an area that was once devoid of roads, water, and infrastructure. Through organic farming and reforestation efforts, SEKEM supports farmers in adopting sustainable agricultural practices and reducing carbon emissions. Accompanied by an expert guide, we'll have the opportunity to explore the fields, factories, schools, training centres, and healthcare facilities within the SEKEM community.
It's a chance to gain insight into their innovative approach to sustainable living and witness the positive impact they have on the environment and local communities. The day continues with shopping opportunities at the community store, contributing to a better quality of life for members. In the afternoon, fly to Luxor and embark on your Nile Cruise adventure, starting with an illuminated visit to Luxor Temple. ACCOMMODATION: MS TIA or similar MEALS INCLUDED: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
