Enjoy breakfast in the hotel's main restaurant before meeting your private guide for your first day in Cairo, where you will visit the Giza Pyramids, built 4500 years ago.
Our guide will take you to visit the Great Pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Our first stop is the Great Pyramid of Cheops, which took over 20 years to build. The next stop is the family-related pyramids of Kings Meserinus and Khafre. The famous Sphinx, a lion with a human head that guarded the tomb for 450 years, will be revealed to you, and you will enjoy a camel ride over the Giza Pyramids. Then your tour guide and private driver will take you to the Egyptian Museum, where you can view the world's largest and most priceless collection of Egyptian artifacts.
The tour then continues to Coptic Cairo to visit the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon, the Hanging Church, built suspended from its ancient towers, and the Church of St. Sergius, also renowned for its beauty. Your tour of Coptic Cairo continues until we visit the Ben Ezra Synagogue, believed to be the site of the castle where Moses' box was pulled from the Nile by the Pharaoh's daughter.
Then explore the ancient bazaar of Khan El Khalili on your Islamic Cairo tour for one of Cairo's best shopping tours, along with the monumental mosques and medieval buildings of El-Moez Street.
Return to your hotel for the night.
