Fundamentals of hieraglyph reading will be taught by Egyptologist guides! |
Great Pacific has already made three trips to Egypt.....stay tuned for announcements for our next trip!
The culture of this very ancient civilization has been recorded back to 3000 years BC. Right up to the end of the Ptolemaic Dynasty (Cleopatra - 30 BC) The Pharaohs and Kings of Egypt have built temples, monuments and cities that are still modern world-wonders.

Combine the ancient with the modern....visit the Pharaohs & the Aquatic World on the same trip! |
A great way to see the country! We plan our trips to visit many of the archeological highlights in Cairo, Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. English-speaking Egyptologists are hired as tour guides in the archeological areas. Great Pacific groups are always fully escorted throughout the trip by GPD's James Hollis
