Multiple Tour Dates in 2020 & 2021
This is the most exciting tour to Egypt ever offered! Led by the world’s most famous archaeologist, Dr. Zahi Hawass, The Royal Tour to Egypt provides unparalleled access to the wonders of Ancient Egypt. Unlike conventional tours，only the Royal Tour offers its participants VIP entry to areas of the ancient sites closed to the general public. Visit the Giza Pyramids and Luxor Temple outside of regular opening hours for a more intimate and crowd-free experience. Have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to stand between the paws of the Great Sphinx (狮身人面像) instead of seeing it from the viewing platform. You will hear secrets never told before and spend time in the esteemed company of Dr. Mostafa Waziri，Egypt’s Head of Antiquities. Former First Lady，Mrs. Jehan Sadat，will host you in the living place of Egypt’s late president Anwar Sadat—an experience normally reserved for royalty and heads of state.
Travel like a Pharaoh (法老) with first-class service from start to finish! Tour dates and more information:

【1题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“Unlike conventional tours，only the Royal Tour offers its participants VIP entry to areas of the ancient sites closed to the general public.”（与传统旅游不同的是，只有皇家旅游向其参与者提供贵宾通道进入古代遗址区域的机会，而这些地区对公众不开放。）和“Have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to stand between the paws of the Great Sphinx (狮身人面像) instead of seeing it from the viewing platform.”（有一次千载难逢的机会站在巨大的狮身人面像的爪子之间，而不是从观景台上看到它。），可知去埃及的皇家之旅可以向游客提供贵宾通道进入不对公众开放的地区，也能让游客与伟大的狮身人面像近距离接触，所以是一次最令人兴奋的旅行。故选A项。
