Make the most of your first morning in Cairo and enjoy a guided tour of the Giza Necropolis. Your certified English-speaking guide will meet you at the hotel lobby and take you on a fascinating journey to see the incredible 4500-year-old pyramids of the Pharaohs.
The Great Pyramid of Cheops is a stunning 146-metre-high monument made from over 2.3 million blocks of limestone. It's a testament to the engineering and construction abilities of the ancient Egyptians and speaks to their great level of sophistication and advancement.
We'll take you on a beautiful tour of the majestic pyramids of Chephren and Mycerinus, along with the option to enjoy a camel ride in the Giza Pyramids. Your tour guide will show you some beautiful views that will help you capture the best memories of your trip to Egypt.
You will be transferred to the pyramid complex of King Chephren, where the Valley Temple is located.
We'll be moving to Cairo's downtown, El Tahrir Square, to start the Egyptian Museum Tour. The tour is almost two hours long, and it will take you through the pharaonic-era artefacts on the two-story building. The golden collection of King Tutankhamun will amaze you, along with the funeral collection of Yuya and Tuya, the grandfathers of King Akhenaten.
Would you like to enjoy a delicious lunch in a top-quality restaurant before continuing your sightseeing in Cairo? Then we recommend our Coptic Cairo tour, which will introduce you to some of the city's most interesting sights.
If you're visiting the ruins of Babylon, be sure to stop by the Hanging Church of the Holy Virgin Mary. This ancient church dates back to the 7th century, and some of its icons commemorate the earliest days of Christianity in Egypt. Continuing on your tour, you'll see the Cavern Church of Abu Serga, built in honour of two Christian martyrs who were tortured for their beliefs. Finally, don't forget the Synagogue of Ben Ezra, which used to be a Christian church and is now one of the few Jewish synagogues in Egypt.
What a marvellous place to explore—the Khan El Khalili market in Cairo is truly unique and one of the best tours in Egypt! There's so much to see and do in this fascinating city, so take your time exploring the sights and enjoying a cup of tea at a local cafe.
After spending the night in a hotel, it's time to get some rest for tomorrow's tour to Alexandria. From Cairo, enjoy the trip.
