Cairo, Egypt – Amawaterways Secrets of Egypt & the Nile
Our journey to Cairo involved two layovers and took us through seven time zones, but we finally arrived in Egypt. During our stay, we explored the new Grand Egyptian Museum, visited the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, walked through the ancient city of Memphis, and enjoyed lunch at the historic Mena House. We also spent time at the Great Sphinx, the Giza Plateau, and in Coptic Cairo. After our time in Cairo, we flew to Luxor to board the AmaDahlia and begin our cruise down the Nile.
