Your tasty breakfast will be offered in the hotel's main restaurant before you meet your special tour guide, who will lead you on your first Cairo tour to the pyramids of Giza, which were built 4500 years ago.
Start your sightseeing at the Great Pyramid of Cheops, which took more than 20 years to build, then move on to the pyramids of the kings Chephren and Mycerinus, which are related to the same dynasty. You will then see the famous Sphinx, the man-headed lion who guarded the Necropolis for 450 years. Now we'll head to the plateau to get a full view of the pyramids and capture amazing photographs while enjoying a camel ride in the Pyramids of Giza (an optional activity) before being taken to the Valley Temple of King Chephren, which was dedicated to the Pharaoh's mummification process and is made of granite from Aswan and tiled with beautiful white alabaster. Your tour guide and private driver will then take you to enjoy a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, which includes the largest and most precious collection of Egyptian artifacts in the world, especially the royal treasure that was found intact, the collection of the Golden Pharaoh Tutankhamen, whose tomb in the Valley of the Kings was found in 1922 by the famous English archaeologist Howard Carter.
Afterward, the tour continues to Coptic Cairo to visit the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon, the Hanging Church, which was built suspended from its ancient towers in an excellent position, and the church of St. Sergius, which is also renowned for its beauty. Sergius, which is also known as the Church of the Cave or the Church of the Holy Family, is built over the crypt where the Holy Family waited for almost 3 months by the well from which they obtained their water reserves. Your tour of Coptic Cairo extends until we visit the Ben Ezra Synagogue, believed to be the site of the castle where Moses's ark was pulled from the Nile by the pharaoh's daughter.
After lunch, you will be taken to the area of Islamic Cairo to see the walls and gates of the medieval city founded by the Fatimid leader Badr Al Gamali and the old, narrow streets of colorful stores dating back to the 10th century.

Egypt is a large country with a lot of must-see sights in Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan. If you want to see all the sights, such as the Valley of the Kings and the Giza Pyramids, Edfu, and Kom Ombo, it is better to sign up for a guided multi-day tour. You can be certain that you won't miss any of this interesting country's major attractions if you do this.
Egypt's official currency is the Egyptian Pound. Most hotels, restaurants, and upscale shops accept credit cards. ATMs dispensing local currency are also available in hotels and outside major banks.
The direct answer itself. Egypt is a very safe country, especially for tourists. All points and attractions are well guarded, tourist buses are escorted (some) and you will find security on the main streets of the city.
The care and precautions that you have in your country or other destinations is the same that you should have in Egypt, in addition to respecting the recommendations of your tourist advisor or the tourist police
Yes, women have no issues in Egypt; it's safe. You'll discover that visitors are generally pestered and followed around a lot in the nation; occasionally this is done to market a product or because the visitor is foreign and drawn to novelty.
To avoid drawing unnecessary attention, try to blend in with the throng. In Egypt, men are not accustomed to seeing women expose that much skin in public, especially outside of major towns. Dress modestly because you are there to discover a new culture, not to alter the one that already exists.
The official and most widely spoken language in Egypt is Egyptian Arabic. As it is most commonly used for travelling, English is taught in schools as an additional language.
The Egypt & The Nile Luxury Tour is a luxurious travel experience that takes you past Egypt's magnificent Nile River and its ancient wonders. It combines luxurious Nile cruises with tours of famous historical sites such as the Valley of the Kings, Luxor's Karnak Temple, and the Pyramids of Giza.
