Our 2020 historical tour to Ethiopia and Egypt will take place from August 10 - August 25, 2020. Flights have been arranged from Chicago on Ethiopian Airlines. Tour participants will spend 10 Days in Ethiopia and 4 Days in Cairo, Egypt. The major sites will include visits to Addis, Bahir Dar, Lalibela, Gondar and Axum in Ethiopia. Throughout your trip you will learn about the cultural and historical significance of ancient monuments in places such as Axum, where it is said that the Biblical Ark of the Covenant still resides. The 4-day tour in Cairo will include visits to the world renown museum, Memphis and Sakkara, and Giza, where you will learn about the ancient Nubian monuments.
In order to reach the towns within Ethiopia, we will be traveling by small aircrafts that seat a maximum of 32 people. For this reason, the maximum number we can accommodate will be 20. Most meals will be included in Ethiopia with breakfast and lunch included while on tour in Egypt. Meal inclusions may vary depending on the time of arrival and departure in each respective country. In Egypt 5 Star hotels will used in Cairo and on the cruise ship. In Ethopia 4 Star hotels will be used. In both Ethiopia and Egypt when staying in a smaller community the best available accommodations will be used.
