Cairo Marriott Hotel
The Cairo Marriott Hotel and Omar Khayyam Casino is the perfect destination for weekend getaways, vacations and business travel. The hotel is actually situated on an island in the middle of the Nile River which is connected to the mainland. A stay at this 5-star hotel in Cairo ensures that you will enjoy all that Cairo has to offer. Nearby attractions include Pyramids of Giza, Khan el Khalili, Egyptian Museum of Antiquities and Cairo Opera House. Unwind at the hotel's pool which is one of the largest pools in the city or enjoy a drink at Cafe Promenade. The hotel is in close proximity to the Giza Pyramids, 'old' Cairo center, Egyptian Museum, Cairo Zoo and the opera house.
Visit the three Great Pyramids on the Giza Plateau of Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus and the iconic Sphinx, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A single pyramid is built of 2,300,000 blocks, each weighing an average of two and one-half tons. In the face of such immensity, one cannot help but feel the wonder and awe that so many writers and artists have sought to convey over the centuries. The Cheops Pyramid is especially interesting since its interior burial chambers are open for inspection by the public. Not far from the Pyramids is the Great Sphinx of Giza, which dates from the time of Chephren (2620 BC). Hewn from natural yellowish limestone and standing 65 feet high and 187 feet long, this unforgettable statue combines the head of a Pharaoh with a lion's body.
Continue to Memphis and Sakkara. Memphis was the capital of Upper and Lower Egypt some 5,000 years ago and today it resembles an open-air museum and necropolis. Sakkara is one of the most exciting historical and archaeological areas in all of Egypt. The site is dominated by the famous step pyramid of King Zoser. It was the first pyramid to be built in ancient Egypt, preceding those at Giza by many centuries, and is the work of the famous Pharaonic architect, Imhotep.

Today, enjoy a Cairo city tour and lunch then head to Giza to visit the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). Start at the Citadel, situated on a spur of the Muqattam Hills and dominates Cairo's skyline. This was the nerve center of the city and all of Egypt for almost 700 years. Its construction was initiated in 1176 by Saladin and completed by Muhammad Ali. Mameluke sultans and Turkish governors later on made it their residence, building palaces and mosques within the Citadel walls. Facing the Citadel is the Mosque of Sultan Hassan, built between 1356 and 1363 and perhaps the most majestic monument of Arab architecture in Egypt. Continue your exploration towards the bustling Khan El-Khalili Bazaar. Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of Khan el-Khalili, browsing its unique shops and traditional crafts. After lunch, visit the highly anticipated Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), one of the world's largest archaeological museums. Explore the vast halls and encounter iconic exhibits, including the treasures of Tutankhamun.

The El Montazah Gardens is a 114-acre complex belonging to the family of Mohamed Ali, which ruled Egypt from the mid-19th century until 1952.

By the end of the Old Kingdom, its local god, Osiris, was the most prominent and popular of the Egyptian gods, since he was considered the god of the afterlife. According to the popular tradition, Osiris' head was buried in Abydos.

After breakfast at your hotel, you will be transferred to your Nile River Cruise, your floating hotel for the next 4 nights. After you settle in and have lunch on board, take your first cruise excursion to visit Luxor Temple. Built largely by Amenhotep III and Ramses II, the temple served as the setting for the rituals of the festival of Opet, which was held to reconcile the human aspect of the ruler with his divine office.
Next, visit Karnak Temple, erected in 1928 BC as a small shrine dedicated to Amun the God of Thebes. The temple comprises three main temples, smaller enclosed temples, and several outer temples all constructed over 1300 years ago.
Luxor is a city that has often been called the "world's greatest open-air museum". With the number and preservation of monuments in the area, it is unparalleled anywhere else in the world. Luxor is composed of three different areas: the city of Luxor - located on the east side of the Nile, the town of Karnak - located just north of Luxor, and Thebes - which is on the west side of the Nile across from Luxor.

Today visit the Necropolis of Thebes, the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and the Colossi Memnon.

Each king's formal name and title are inscribed in his tomb, which is also adorned with his images and statues. The mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut of the 18th Dynasty was built just north of the Middle Kingdom temple of Mentuhotep Nebhepetre, amid the bay of cliffs known as Deir El-Bahri. In ancient times the temple was called Djeser-djeseru, meaning the sacred of sacreds. The female pharaoh chose to build her temple in a valley sacred to the Theban Goddess of the west, on a direct axis with the Karnak Temple of Amun on the East Bank.

Aswan, Egypt's sunniest southern city and ancient frontier town located about 81 miles south of Luxor, has a distinctively African atmosphere. Its ancient Egyptian name was Syene. Small enough to walk around and graced with the most beautiful setting on the Nile, the pace of life is slow and relaxing.
This morning's sightseeing includes Aswan's High Dam and the Temple of Philae. After lunch, sail on the Nile by motor boat and visit the Botanical Garden.
Just north of the border between Egypt and Sudan lays the Aswan High Dam, a huge rock-filled dam, that captures the world's longest river, the Nile, in the world's largest artificial reservoir, Lake Nasser. The dam, known as "Sadd El-Aali" in Arabic, was completed in 1970 after 10 years of work.
A short trip on a motorboat to the Temple of Philae will bring you to a magnificent vista of the island, before landing at what would have been the ancient quay on the south side. The temple was dedicated to the goddess Isis and has many legends connected to it.
