When is a tour more than just a simple follow-the-guide and snap-photos-when-you're-told kind of expedition? Well for one, when the tour includes an expert who's good enough to accompany President Obama. The Fairmont Hotel Global Explorer Series has got one event left this year and it's obviously of a Presidential caliber—but without the high-flying price.
The tour of Egypt runs November 27-30 and is a package including one night at the Fairmont Towers Heliopolis and two nights at the Fairmont Nile City. Included are tours of the pyramids, the Cairo Museum, a felucca trip on the Nile and a dinner lecture from Dr. Zahi Hawass, the Egyptologist deemed expert enough to accompany Obama to the pyramids earlier this year.
The trip is run in conjunction with the National Geographic Society and expert Hawass will have a few bits of insider info for you, including new details on King Tut after some CT scans (obviously not just for the living). Breakfasts and dinners are included as well, and the whole deal will only cost you $960 per person for the three nights, which is a lot more reasonable than we'd expected, with all that good ol' culture thrown in.
