These colossal monuments, built as tombs for the pharaohs, have stood the test of time for over 4,500 years and are the only surviving monument of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Protected by the Great Sphinx, with the body of a lion and the head of a Pharoah, this timeless guardian symbolizes the strength, power, wisdom and intelligence of Ancient Egypt.

Another striking symbol of the city's Greco-Roman heritage is Pompey's Pillar. Despite its name, it honours Emperor Diocletian and once marked the site of the grand Serapeum Temple. Though largely in ruins today, the site still evokes awe, with scattered columns and sphinxes.

Essential Information

Airport Transfers
Transfer time from Cairo airport to Pyramid Resort by Jaz is approximately 1hr. Transfer time from Helnan Royal Alexandria Hotel to Cairo airport is approximately 3.5hrs.
Gratuities
There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. To give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below. Your Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection at the beginning of your holiday to cover drivers, guides, porters, and hotel staff of approximately £50.00 per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip.
Included programme
A sightseeing programme is included in your touring package. Please bring with you wired earphones if available to use with Tour guide system provided when needed. Please note A reasonable level of fitness/mobility is required as we include plenty of sightseeing/travelling, some with early starts. The order of the itinerary and events and hotel may be subject to change.
Dress code
The dress code is casual. Comfortable shoes for walking and sightseeing are recommended.

All information about the optional tours will be given during welcome meeting. An example of excursions.

Cash can be easily exchanged to Egyptian pounds in Egypt and you will have a better exchange Rate for foreign currencies. Please note:- Optional excursions are not guaranteed and are based on minimum numbers. The prices quoted are guideline only and may involve other non-Solos holidaymakers.
Currency
Egyptian Pound
 
Some shops accept credit cards or Sterling for larger purchases. There is a surcharge in most places for using a credit card of 3% to 5%, throughout Egypt. In the bazaars, and smaller shops, dollars or Egyptian pounds cash will only be taken. For ease we recommend that you pay by cash for any optional excursions. Credit cards are NOT accepted. US dollars, Sterling and Egyptian pounds can be used at the Duty Free shop. We also recommend you bring with you a good amount of cash Sterling as cash point machines are not easy to find especially during the Nile Cruise. Cash money can be easily exchanged to Egyptian pounds in Egypt and you get a better exchange for the sterling in Egypt. You can pay cash (any currency) or by card on board. We recommend that when travelling to Egypt you call your bank or credit card company to inform them of your trip so they do not block your cards.
Passports and visas
Visas 
British passport holders travelling to Egypt normally need a visa.

British nationals travelling to Sharm el Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba and Taba resorts for up to 15 days receive a free entry permission stamp upon arrival. If you intend to travel out of these areas or stay longer than 15 days, you must get a visa. If you have travelled to one of the South Sinai Red Sea resorts, entered without a visa and your plans have changed, you can normally purchase a visa at Sharm el Sheikh Airport to allow you to travel elsewhere. 
 
Applications for visa extensions should be made at Egyptian Passport and Immigration Offices. You may have difficulties leaving Egypt with an out of date visa. You will not normally be allowed to leave without paying a fine if your visa is out of date by more than 14 days. For further information and enquiries, contact the Egyptian Consulate in London.
