This is what we have planned for you:

::: SUNDAY 3 NOVEMBER Assemble late afternoon in Johannesburg before boarding our direct flight to Cairo. A full and detailed information pack put together from past tours will be e-mailed to you in advance, along

with your daily programme. And golf bags travel for free.

::: MONDAY 4 NOVEMBER

On arrival in Cairo we take a short flight to the ancient city of Luxor, where we are transferred to our 5-star Nile Cruise boat. After freshening up, the remainder of the morning is spent at

the fascinating Valley of the Kings, one of the most concentrated historical sites in the world. Lunch on the cruise boat is followed by a visit to the Luxor and the Karnak Temples, regarded as the 2nd most important site in Egypt. Then it is back to the cruise boat for sundowners on

deck and our first dinner on board.

::: TUESDAY 5 NOVEMBER

Our cruise boat sails from Luxor after breakfast and the relaxed, laid-back feeling sets in. Lying on deck watching the desert and other river traffic pass by, enjoying the sumptuous buffet lunch and then tea and cake mid-afternoon. It becomes addictive. Later, sip on your sundowners as

the sun drops below the horizon of the western desert before dinner and a good night’s sleep.

::: WEDNESDAY 6 NOVEMBER Another day on the Nile…. Onboard entertainment, a swim in the ship’s pool, short strolls ashore

during the sightseeing stops at Komombo and Edfu, another sumptuous buffet lunch or just relaxing on deck…it’s a perfect day! And then it’s sundowners and dinner…it really is addictive!

::: THURSDAY 7 NOVEMBER

After breakfast we arrive at Aswan and visit the Aswan Dam and its sights. A short boat trip takes us to the Philae Temple, a World Heritage site located on an island in the Nile.

After our buffet lunch on board, there is the chance to explore the small town of Aswan or simply lie back and enjoy the views of the Nile from your sunloungers.

This evening the cruise boat presents special entertainment for our last evening on board, an

“Egyptian-theme” party including a traditional belly-dance show with live music. And everyone has the chance to dress up (costumes available on the boat) for a fun-filled party

which is certain to last late into the night.

::: FRIDAY 8 NOVEMBER

After an early breakfast we fly to Cairo and are then transferred by air-conditioned coach to our 5-star hotel which is literally a-9 iron from the River Nile.

After unpacking and freshening up, we spend the afternoon visiting the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mycrenos, considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and the nearby Sphinx.

::: SATURDAY 9 NOVEMBER

This morning we head to DREAMLAND GC, part of the Hilton Hotel complex, for our first round of golf. Rated by many as having the best greens they have played on for a long time, the course is a fitting venue for the start of the golfing part of the tour. One of the special stops on

the morning outing for the non-golfers with our Egyptologist guide will be Khan el Khalili market, regarded as the most impressive oriental market and which comprises a large number

of shops, including a fabulous collection of Gold and Silver Jewelry. As the sun sets over the desert, we catch the magnificent Pyramids Sound and Light Show which is a never-to-be-forgotten experience in itself.

::: SUNDAY 10 NOVEMBER

Today has been kept open for everyone to spend the day they wish to spend it. Whether it is an optional round of golf, a visit to the nearby Egyptian Museum where a highlight will be the

chance to view the fabulous treasures of Tutankhamen, a dhow cruise on the Nile, savouring the wonderful local cuisine in a themed restaurant, taking a taxi and exploring the sprawling city, or just chilling

::: MONDAY 11 NOVEMBER

After breakfast the non-golfers will enjoy a visit to the Old City of Cairo… from the hectic Souks to the endless bazaars, our local guide will assist in finding the best bargains on offer as well as point out all the many places of interest along the way.

Golf today is at the Katameya Club, which opened in 1997, and immediately put Egypt

firmly on the world’s golf map. This 5-star deluxe resort lies amongst endless rolling hills and the prestigious clubhouse boasts restaurants, lounges, bars, a swimming pool, health spa, state

of the art fitness centre and a fully stocked Pro shop.

Today, golf is at the magnificent Mirage City Golf Course, a championship course located within the Marriott Hotel resort complex.

before the evening transfer to Cairo airport for our flight back home
