Day Eleven – LUXOR – CAIRO
Abdeen Presidential Palace
We disembarked the ship in Luxor and flew back to Cairo where we had lunch at the Abdeen Presidential Palace, considered one of the most luxurious palaces in the world. The palace consists of multiple museums, including the Silver Museum; the Arms Museum; the Royal Family Museum; a Presidential Gifts Museum and a Historical Documents Museum, which is a relatively new addition. It is also one of the official residences and places of work for the President of Egypt.
Exploring Cairo On Our Own
We contacted a local guide to take us to a few local craftsman shops in downtown Cairo. We also visited the historic mosque next door where his son went to school.
