One of our tour leaders will meet you at the Cairo airport and take you to the Giza Pyramids.
Giza is a great place to visit for those interested in ancient history. The Giza Plateau is home to the Giza Pyramids, one of the few remaining wonders of the ancient world. The Pyramids and the surrounding area are quite beautiful, and the views from the western plateau are simply amazing. After exploring the Pyramids and the Sphinx, you can make your way down to the Mortuary complex, where you'll be able to see the impressive watchman statue.
Next, we'll visit one of Egypt's top government papyrus institutes, where you can choose from a variety of hand-painted papyrus sheets and see a demonstration of the process used to create the ancient paper known as papyrus. The pyramids are only a short distance away from here.
To explore some of Cairo's most iconic historical sites you'll be heading on over to Old Cairo, where you'll find the Hanging Church, the Ben Ezra Synagogue, the Church of St. Barbara, and the Church of Abu Serga. These landmarks are sure to fascinate and amaze you.
At an Old Cairo restaurant, you'll enjoy a delicious lunch.
Khan el-Khalili is one of the oldest bazaars in the Middle East, and it's a great place to learn about the confusing network of alleyways that has served as Cairo's commercial hub since the 14th century. After your visit, you'll be able to spend the night in your hotel, so you can fully appreciate all the sights and sounds of this historic market.
