2009 Itinerary
• Indicates day of cruising
Day 1: Welcome to Cairo
Tauck's Egypt tour begins at the Mena House Oberoi. A transfer is included from Cairo International Airport to your hotel, a sumptuous former royal hunting lodge. Your room looks out on to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Great Pyramids of Giza. Since most international flights arrive between 3:00 and 11:00 PM local time, you might want to consider traveling to Egypt a day early and arrange a pre-stay in Cairo to ease the effects of jet lag before the first day of sightseeing on your Egypt tour begins.
Meals: A snack in your hotel room upon late arrival
Lodging: Mena House Oberoi, Cairo, Egypt
Day 2: The Sphinx, the Great Pyramid, and a camel ride
A visit to the Pyramids is on every world-traveler's must-see list, and is an iconic image of your Egypt tour. Visit the Solar Boat Museum, whose main attraction is an ancient Egyptian cedarwood boat dating back 4,500 years. At Giza, see the Sphinx guarding the plateau, as it has for the same 4,500 years. Marvel at the Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu), a crowning architectural achievement. Cap the day with a camel ride among the Pyramids. Attend a welcome reception and dinner.

Preparing To Go
Air Conditioning – All hotels and the
Nile Adventurer provide air conditioning.
Clothing and Packing -
Egypt has import restrictions on certain “high value” personal items. Please read the section on “Customs” below.
Select a wardrobe that is adaptable and allows for layering. We suggest you wear loose, light cottons and linens in the summer and, in the winter, layers that can be taken off during the heat of the day and put back on for cool evenings. For the welcome and farewell dinners, many guests like to dress up, but by all means be comfortable.
It is inadvisable for women to wear anything short or sleeveless unless on the beach or by a pool so as not to offend local custom.
When visiting churches and mosques, women are not allowed to enter with bare shoulders or short pants or short skirts. A scarf is acceptable to cover shoulders if women are wearing a sleeveless top. Head covering is not required. Men should also dress appropriately for a holy sanctuary. Shorts are discouraged. Women and men will be required to remove their shoes in mosques.
We recommend that you pack your prescription medicines (an adequate supply to last through your journey) along with your travel documents and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag to avoid any inconvenience in the event that your flight or luggage is delayed.
Following is a list of recommended items to pack:
- Comfortable walking shoes, well broken-in
- Hat
- Sunscreen
- Sunglasses
- Eye drops for the dust when visiting Pyramids and temples
- Camera, extra film and batteries
- Wash-and-dry or antiseptic cleaner
- Bathing suit
- Binoculars
- Light jacket for cool nights on the river
- Travel alarm clock
Both the Oberoi Mena House and the Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence have laundry facilities and dry cleaning service. Laundry service is available aboard the
Nile Adventurer, but there are no dry cleaning facilities on board.
Elevation - The maximum elevation on this tour is 1,200 feet, or 366 meters.
Health - All travelers to Egypt should be in reasonably good health. There is a significant amount of walking on this tour and archaeological sites and temple floors are far from even. Guests who require assistance walking may not be able to fully participate in the sightseeing.
If you have a medical condition which might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly.
We regret that we cannot provide individual assistance to guests for walking, dining or other personal needs.
Persons needing such assistance must be accompanied by an able companion who will assist them.
Special Health Information for this Tour:
The
Nile Adventurer does not have an elevator; you will need to navigate two flights of stairs to access guest cabins and public areas. We regret that wheelchairs cannot be accommodated. Disembarking the riverboat requires walking down many steps to a narrow gangway. The steepness and the number of steps depend upon the river water level.
Tap water in hotels, restaurants and aboard the
Nile Adventurer is not potable
. Use caution when eating salad items that may have been washed in tap water. Always drink bottled water with an unbroken seal. Well-known brands of bottled beverages are generally considered to be safe. For the first few days, it may be advisable to clean your teeth with bottled water. Avoid having ice in drinks unless you are confident it has been made with bottled water.
Eating uncooked vegetables should be avoided. Eat fruit that you can peel, and make sure fresh fruit has been washed. Wash your hands before and after eating. Most meals on this Egypt tour are in hotel restaurants where cleanliness is good and they are used to catering to westerners.
There is a physician on board the
Nile Adventurer.
Smoking is very common in Egypt. As a result, few restaurants and hotels have nonsmoking sections. A “non-smoking” room often means the establishment has removed the ashtray. Where possible, we have requested non-smoking rooms and non-smoking sections of restaurants.
On board the
Nile Adventurer, smoking is only permitted on the outer decks. Smoking is not allowed in cabins or in public areas. Smoking is not permitted on motor coaches used during shore excursions.
For vaccination and inoculation information, guests should contact their personal physician, the public health service in their area, or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. The Travelers' Health Section of the CDC operates a 24-hour, pre-recorded “Travelers' Health Hotline" at 877-394-8747 (toll free in the U.S.). You may also log on to the CDC Internet website at
www.cdc.gov.
Luggage Restrictions:
Special Luggage Restrictions for this Tour
Due to space limitations aboard motor coaches and on-tour flights, only one average-size piece of checked luggage per person, weighing up to 44 pounds, or 20 kilograms, is allowed. Luggage exceeding these restrictions is at risk of being left behind, or, if permitted on board, may be subject to additional excess luggage charges.
In addition, guests are limited to one soft-sided, carry-on bag per person weighing no more than 15 lbs, or 6.8 kg, and no larger than an average knapsack.
Checked Luggage – General
While it is common that airlines allow passengers to check more than one piece of luggage per person, space constraints during your Tauck journey make it difficult to accommodate extra luggage. We ask that you limit your checked luggage to one average-size suitcase per person.
In addition, airlines have adopted more strict policies in enforcing size and weight limits. Luggage exceeding maximum restrictions may require expensive overage fees, frustrating and hurried re-packing at the ticket counter, or even risk being left behind.
As of June 2006, many carriers require checked luggage not exceed a weight of 50 lbs, or 22.7 kg, per piece. Airlines revise luggage policies frequently and often without notice; therefore, Tauck cannot be held liable for the weight limit listed above. We urge you to check with your airline before traveling to determine current weight and size restrictions. It is also important to note that restrictions for luggage size and weight may vary with the same airline based on the class of service you select. First and Business Class ticket holders may have different restrictions than Coach Class travelers.
Tauck World Discovery cannot be held liable for additional fees or inconveniences imposed by the airline due to luggage size, piece or weight policies.
Please be sure to attach your Tauck luggage tag to your suitcase before leaving home.
Carry-on Luggage - General
Although oversized bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.
For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and only those items you need handy during the day such as purses, make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or in the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, which may not be accessible during daytime travel.
Travel Document Requirements – U.S. citizens traveling to Egypt require a passport with at least two blank visa pages and an expiration date of at least six months beyond the completion of the tour. U.S. citizens are also required to obtain a visa.
For U.S. Citizens:
U.S. citizens may obtain their Egypt visas in one of the three following ways:
- A renewable, 30-day tourist visa may be easily obtained on arrival at Cairo International Airport. The cost is currently $15, payable in U.S. dollars only. Visitors arriving overland and/or those previously experiencing difficulty with their visa status in Egypt should obtain a visa prior to arrival.
- Tauck has partnered with Zierer Visa Service for processing visas to destinations in which U.S. citizens are required to have an entry visa. Over the past several years, Zierer Visa Service has effectively processed hundreds of visas for Tauck travelers. Tauck will automatically send a visa application once a reservation is made and the deposit received. The visa fee, as well as any applicable consular fees and shipping fees, are not included in the tour cost, and payment should be mailed with the completed application directly to the visa service. The amount of the visa fee varies by destination and will be stated on the application.
For more information or to download a Zierer Visa Service application, please log on to the Internet website, www.zvs.com. To speak directly with ZVS Customer Service, call 866-788-1100 (toll-free in the U.S.). Please note that visas cannot be processed more than 90 days prior to departure and that the process will take several weeks.
- A visa may be obtained directly through an Egyptian Consulate. For more information, log on to the Internet website, www.egy2000.com/missionsl.htm.
Citizens of other countries should contact an embassy or consulate of Egypt to determine what travel documentation is required.
Travel with Children – Many countries have specific entry requirements for children less than 21 years of age who are traveling without one or both parents. Usually a notarized letter, signed by the parent or parents not traveling with the child and stating the name of the child, the adult guardian, the itinerary and dates of travel, and the flight number, is required. To ensure smooth travel, Tauck requires all travelers to comply with the regulations for the country you are visiting. This information is available from each country’s consulate. Tauck is not responsible for the disruption of travel caused by improper documentation for any travelers, including children traveling without one or both parents. While there is no definitive format or standards for these letters, Tauck does offer
download guidance for writing this letter.
Destination Information
Cell Phones - We understand and appreciate the value of instant communication when we travel; it keeps us in touch with friends and family, and it's a reassurance in the event of an emergency. However, the use of cell phones can be disruptive to a tour and to other guests who are enjoying their vacation. As a courtesy to others, we ask that guests refrain from cell phone usage during motor coach travel, group functions, sightseeing and when the Tauck Director is addressing the group as a whole. There are usually ample opportunities to make or receive calls at times when it does not impact others.
Please contact your cell phone carrier to determine limitations and services that exist for the destinations to which you are traveling.
Currency and Exchange Rates - The currency in Egypt is the Egyptian Pound (EGP). The currency exchange is set on a national level; therefore, all exchange places offer the same rate. Most hotels have a bank in the hotel. There are also ATM machines in many locations. Few establishments accept travelers’ checks. Contact your bank in advance of departure to determine whether you will be able to use your credit card or ATM card in Egypt. Should you have any questions, your Tauck Director will be happy to assist you.
To obtain the up-to-date currency exchange rate, you may want to check your local newspaper or log on to the Internet website
www.oanda.com
Important Note - Personal incidental accounts aboard the
Nile Adventurer may be settled in cash (U.S. dollars), travelers’ checks, American Express, Visa or MasterCard. There is no foreign exchange facility on the ship.
Customs and Tax-Free Shopping –
Import Regulations: "High value" articles that a traveler brings to Egypt - particularly computers and camcorders, but also including cameras, typewriters, tape recorders, VCR's and other electronic items - must be declared upon entry, be listed on the traveler's passport, and be duly exported at the conclusion of the visit. If "high value" items are not re-exported at the time of departure, duty must be paid. In the case of certain electronic and computer goods, duty can be as high as 100%. Cigarettes and alcohol are permitted in limited amounts. Duty-free camera film is limited to 25 rolls for still cameras and 10 reels for movie cameras.
For U.S. residents returning to the United States, current regulations permit bringing back $800 worth of items duty-free, as long as you physically bring them with you. There are limits to the alcohol and tobacco that can be a part of this exemption - one liter of alcohol, 200 cigarettes, and 100 cigars. Certain restrictions apply to unaccompanied goods mailed from abroad to the United States. Please call your local customs office or consult the U.S. government's customs website for further details and up-to-date limits at
www.cbp.gov
Residents of other countries should refer to their own country’s rules and regulations regarding customs and duty-free shopping to ensure compliance.
Electrical Current - The electrical current in Egypt and onboard the
Nile Adventurer is 220v, 50 Hz, and sockets take the standard continental European dual round-pronged plug. Guests whose appliances do not meet this standard will need to bring the appropriate converters and adapters. These items can be purchased in a store that specializes in travel products.
Time Zones – Egypt is 2 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (or Greenwich Mean Time).. In June, Cairo is 7 hours ahead of New York City. To determine current time in major cities around the world, we suggest you log on to the Internet website
www.timeanddate.com
Weather - Egypt has one of the hottest and sunniest climates in the world, although on the whole, it can be best described as mild. While the midsummer months can get quite hot, the heat is less taxing than elsewhere because of low humidity. Rainy days are few and far between in Cairo, and nearly unknown in Upper Egypt. Cairo can be chilly from December to February, averaging from 60 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit, or 15.5 to 20 degrees Celsius, and very hot from June to September, averaging from 85 to 95 F, or 29.5 to 35 C. The heat is often relieved by a northerly breeze with temperatures dropping during the night. Therefore, it would be wise to pack both lightweight and warm clothing.
