Enjoy a private day tour to Cairo from Port Said, with a comfortable three-hour drive in an air-conditioned vehicle.
You will also visit the famous Sphinx with its lion's body and human head and the Valley Temple dedicated to the mummification of the pharaohs.
Your tour begins with a visit to the Pyramids of Giza, where you will explore the great pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Mycerinus, and learn about the fascinating construction methods behind these ancient wonders.
The ancient Egyptian pyramids represent an advanced stage of engineering achievements in ancient times. The construction of pyramids began during the Old Kingdom period (around 2700 - 2200 BC), specifically during the reign of Pharaoh Djoser, who built the Step Pyramid at Saqqara. This pyramid was the first monumental stone structure in ancient Egypt. You will also visit the famous Sphinx with its lion body and human head and the Valley Temple dedicated to mummifying the pharaohs. The Sphinx is believed to be a symbol of royal power, combining the head of a human and the body of a lion. There are many legends about it, with some believing that the Sphinx symbolized the protection of the pyramids.
Afterward, continue your journey in Cairo with a visit to the Egyptian Museum, which houses the largest and most valuable collection of Egyptian antiquities in the world, dating back more than 6,000 years.
Founded in 1835 by ruler Muhammad Ali Pasha, the Egyptian Museum was initially in a temporary building. The collection was then moved to a larger building that was opened in 1902, the current building, which is characterized by its architectural design that combines classical and Egyptian styles. The museum was built by French architect Marcel Duren.
You'll find the treasures of the Golden King Tutankhamun among the 250,000 artifacts on display.
The museum contains huge statues of kings and queens, such as the statue of King Ramses II and Queen Nefertiti, which is one of the most magnificent works of art in history.
If time permits, enjoy a visit to Khan El Khalili, the oldest and most famous bazaar in Cairo. Khan al-Khalili was founded in the 14th century AD during the rule of Sultan al-Mansur Qalawun in 1382 AD, and was initially used as a trading complex for Mamluk materials and products. The name “Khan al-Khalili” goes back to a merchant of Persian origin named “Khalil” who owned a shop in this market. Since then, the market has become a major center of commerce in Cairo.
Over time, Khan al-Khalili turned into a commercial center frequented by traders of gold, copper, and fabrics, in addition to traditional sales such as antiques and souvenirs.
At the end of your Cairo tour from Port Said, you will be transferred to Port Said with your tour guide.

The white stones on the pyramid were really special and valuable. People took them off and used them for other buildings, so now the pyramid looks black because you can see the dark bricks underneath.
