Have a great breakfast in the hotel’s main restaurant before becoming acquainted with your experienced tour guide. Begin your sightseeing by visiting the Great Pyramid of Cheops, which is a one-of-a-kind structure that took more than two decades to complete.
The ancient kings Chephren and Mycerinus of the same dynasty should be viewed in the context of the architectural ensembles of their funerary pyramids. Stare in wonder at the spectacular Sphinx, from where a human-faced lion guards the Necropolis. Take amazing photos and have the chance to add a bit of a twist—a camel ride—to your visit to the Pyramids. You will then go to the Valley Temple of King Chephren, which is another marvelous temple solely for the mummification process, and you will be amazed to see that most of its floor is made up of white alabaster tiles extracted from Aswan.
Subsequently, the tour proceeds to Coptic Cairo to visit Babylon—the ancient fort, the Hanging Church, which has been constructed in a hanging manner from its high towers and has chosen an excellent location—and Saint Sergius Church, which is also very beautiful. Sergius, or The Cave Church, or Church of the Holy Family, is located above the cave where the Holy Family was sheltering for nearly three months, near the well where they stored the water. Your explorations of Coptic Cairo continue up to the time you tour the Ben Ezra Synagogue, which is believed to house the castle from which the pharaoh’s daughter fetched Moses from the Nile.
In the afternoon after lunch, you are advised to be driven to the area of Islamic Cairo. During your travels towards Islamic Cairo, you will do everything possible to have a mint tea in Al-Fishawy, which is one of the oldest coffee shops found in Khan el Khalili Bazaar.
