Cairo & Alexandria
- 4 Star - 5 Nights
EGYPT
Cairo The roots
of the modern city, however, date from A.D. 969, when Muslim invaders
from Tunisia secured and enlarged the site. Major growth came
in the 19th century with the opening of the Suez Canal, extending
Cairo's dominant status as a hub of trade with Europe, Asia, and
Africa.
Alexandria The second largest city in Egypt,
Alexandria has an atmosphere that is more Mediterranean than Middle
Eastern; its ambiance and cultural heritage distance it from the
rest of the country although it is only 225 km from Cairo.
