Amazing 4 Days Cairo Short Break holiday from Luxemburg

Start the day with breakfast, followed by the highly memorable Giza Pyramids tour that is an integral part of your Egypt Classic Tours. While in Giza, familiarise yourself with the Pyramids of Egypt, testaments to the engineering genius of the Old Kingdom. The Pyramid of Chephren is remarkable since some original casing stones remain at the peak, an extremely rare look at what pyramids may have originally resembled. Nearby is the Sphinx, the monumental, over 4,500-year-old guardian of the plateau, with its gaze so enigmatic, reflecting ancient Egyptian artistic brilliance. Explore the Valley Temple Khafra, used in purification rites and containing amazing statues of the pharaoh.

Travel to Saqqara, the site of the Step Pyramid, which was built in the 27th century BC. This pioneering building was made up of six mastabas, one on top of the other, and represents a revolutionary jump in architectural aspirations. The tour ends at Memphis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with ruins such as the giant alabaster sphinx and remains of giant statues, attesting to its position in history as a major center of worship and government. During the day, enjoy included breakfast, lunch, and dinner for comfort and energy on your discoveries.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Start your day with a visit to the historical Citadel of Saladin, a monstrous fort that used to be the main rampart for the defence of Cairo. Constructed in the 12th century by one of the most famous rulers, Salah al-Din, the citadel offers panoramic views of the city besides serving as a very enlightening example of Cairo's mediaeval Islamic history. Proceed with your tour to the Islamic area of Cairo, being a hub for historic mosques, architectural wonders, and deep-rooted cultural customs that express the core of Islamic Cairo.

Next, you will take the Coptic Cairo tour, where you will be taken to the famous Hanging Church, which is among the oldest churches in Egypt. It gets its name from the fact that this church was built above a Roman fortress gate. Its remarkable wooden work and spiritual importance make it an imperative landmark.

End your day with a colourful trip to Khan El Khalili, one of the most crowded 14th-century markets. This bustling bazaar is full of shops selling handmade creations, fine jewellery, and spices—the ultimate combination of history and culture for any tourist.
