Don't worry, Topdeck is here to help! Our optional activities are carefully selected to give you the widest range of choice in all price brackets. These are some of our favourites: Gifton Island We think Gifton Island is one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Think stunning coral reefs, colourful fish and amazing wildlife. Our day excursion to Gifton includes lunch and is sure to delight.Nubian Village & Diner Travel by boat (and camel!) to an authentic Nubian Village Meet the villagers, learn some local Nubian and Arabic language skills and end the day with dinner in a local home. The memories of this experience will last a lifetime. River Nile Diner & Cruise Cruise down the Nile on our dinner cruise where you'll enjoy great food and be entertained by a belly dancer, live music and Darwish dance.Quad Biking Hang on to your seat and set out on a desert safari on quad bikes - the best way to see the desert! Valley of the Kings We want you to see the Valley of the Kings so much, we have included it on all of our trips that go to Egypt! In modern times the valley has become famous for the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun (with its rumours of the Curse of the Pharaohs!) - what will you discover?Abu Simbel This destination is so popular, we include it as standard on all of our trips that visit Aswan in this brochure (unlike some others who charge $200 for the same excursion!). The sight of the amazing temple complex of Abu Simbel will stay with you for life.A Note About Entrances... In Morocco, Jordan and Syria we have included entrance fees in your trip price. We are able to include entrances fees in these countries as costs can be guaranteed and the group prices we obtain are much better than any other discounts offered. In Egypt and Turkey, the prices change regularly and discounts for groups or students vary. For this reason we cannot include entrance fees accurately and have therefore not included them in your trip price. Your Trip Leader will arrange the most cost-effective option. A guide to these prices is available on our website.At the summit of Mt SinaiAbu SimbelNubian Village localsGifton Island"Never has such an early morning been so worth it!

before & after.Whether you need a place to stay in Cairo the night before you depart on your trip, or whether you fancy sticking around a bit longer in Marrakech and getting to know this incredible city a bit better, we've got something right up your street.Alexandria is rightfully known as 'The Pearl of the Mediterranean.' Only 225km from Cairo, Alexandria seems like a world away. Although Alexandria is still best known for its ancient history, today the city is synonymous with cosmopolitanism and bohemian culture.This excursion can be added to any trip starting or finishing in Cairo and can be arranged by extending your stay either at the start or end of your trip by one night. Any extension should be booked at the same time you book your Egypt trip. www.topdeck.travel/alexandria-day-tripALEXANDRIADAY TRIP"Alexandria - amazing history, great falafel!"- Adam, Wellington, New ZealandWhat's Included»»Lunch»»Return transfer by air-conditioned mini-bus Cairo to Alexandria»»Guided tour including visits to the Catacombs, Alexandria library and CastleShorbagi Mosque, AlexandriaIndiana Hotel, CairoEgyptMoroccoJordanTiba Pyramids Hotel - Cairo ????
