This day-long excursion combines two of the most popular attractions in Cairo: the Grand Egyptian Museum and Coptic Cairo. The tour begins with a visit to the massive Egyptian Museum, the largest in Africa, which houses more than 120,000 antiquities of Ancient Egypt. On your visit, you will see immense treasures that date back five thousand years ago, including sculptures, mummies, and magnificent gold and silver objects.
Early on, you will be driven to Coptic Cairo, where there are many churches, monasteries, and other remnants of early Christianity in Egypt. You will see the Ben Ezra Synagogue and other historic sites, including a visit to the Church of St. Sergius near the Citadel, which houses a rare collection of Byzantine mosaics and icons.
Moving on, you will visit Khan El-Khalili Bazaar, one of the last remaining markets from Cairo's medieval past. Here you can shop as much as you want or rest at a café as you watch people passing by while sipping tea and eating hummus.
