In the afternoon, continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum to explore an incredible collection of ancient treasures, including the full display of artifacts discovered from the tomb of King Tut.

This evening, enjoy a relaxed welcome dinner cruise on the Nile, joined by a female member of a local NGO/nonprofit organization. Over good food and gentle river views, you will have the opportunity to connect with Egyptian women and hear their personal stories and everyday life here.
