Valentine Vacations in Giza, Egypt

Bored of celebrating Valentine's Day with flowers, chocolates and candlelight dinners? Lionize your love in a purple way by gifting your beloved with a Valentine Vacation to the Egyptian town of Giza, almost 20 km southwest of central Cairo, on the western bank of river Nile. And be sure that in this mystic ambience love will unfold before you in a hitherto unknown way.

Attractions of Giza:

• The 66 feet high and 240 feet long Great Sphinx, a fundamental allurement of Giza, is an orphic monument which was chipped out from a single massive limestone block and therefore baffles one by its existence.

• One of the Seven Wonders of the World, the olympian Pyramids of Giza have drawn innumerable tourists from all over the world and is the cardinal attraction of Giza.

• Almost 550 feet high, the Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu), a stupendous structure, is the oldest and largest of the Giza Pyramids.

• Even the second-largest of the Giza Pyramids, the Khafre's Pyramid, located just beside the Great Pyramid of Khufu is indeed a sight to behold. It is also interesting to know that Khufu was the father of Khafre.

• To know about the pyramids from the Fourth and Twelfth Dynasties, visit the Pyramids of Dahshour, a composite of many pyramids like the Red Pyramid, the Southern Pyramid or even the famous Bent Pyramid.

• Located on Jacob Island in the Nile, Dr. Ragab's Pharaonic Village is indeed the ideal place for noesis. Not only will it satisfy your craving for Egyptian history but will also provide a deep insight into Egyptian art and culture.

• After a long eventful day, spend your evening in the easy ambience of Legend and Legacies, an indoor market where the prices of the commodities are moderate but fixed.

Also visit Papyrus, a specialty shop; the ancient ruins of Mastaba of Ti and the well known Mena House Oberoi Golf Course.

To make the most of your Valentine Vacation choose your accommodation in advance. Le Meridien Pyramids, Intercontinental Pyramids Park Resort, Royal Gardens Hotel, Moevenpick Hotel Cairo, Zoser Hotel Cairo, Hotel Husa Pyramids, Safir Hotel Cairo, Grand Pyramids Hotel and Moevenpick Resort Cairo- Pyramids are some of the most recommended hotels and resorts of Giza which you can reserve to impress your beloved.
