This was a great trip to explore each city. Personally, this felt a bit more independent type travel (exploring the city by yourself or if you made a friend with them) vs other Contikis (more time with the group). Hotels were great and fantastic locations (centrally located near metros and the main train station). Fantastic free time add ons as well.

Face the breathtaking Pyramids, where history comes alive in their towering presence, and greet the enigmatic Sphinx, guardian of these ancient monuments.
