Is it possible on a one-day tour of Cairo to absorb thousands of years of Egyptian history? To learn in any kind of depth about the pharoahs and the Nile river, the sphinx and the art of papyrus? In a word: No.
Yet the mind and heart yearn to see the great wonders of the world and allow them to seep into one's consciousness. So perhaps you embark on a cruise to the port of Alexandria, and opt for a day tour of Cairo's wonders.
Afterwards, on the way back to your ship, a miniature Bashtet statue and perhaps an 18-karat cartouche with hieroglyphics and clutched in your hand, you have completed your survey course of Egypt Lite — and are now ready for some independent study.
Enjoy these shot-in-a-day photos from a bus tour of Cairo, one of the excursions offered on certain Azamara Cruise itineraries.
