After enjoying your breakfast at the hotel, you'll be accompanied by a professional tour guide to explore the wonders of The Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The museum displays the most extensive and precious collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts which exists throughout the entire world. The collection, which belonged to Tutankhamun, serves as the museum's most attractive display because British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922.
The Saladin Citadel will be your next destination because it serves as an Egyptian capital defense structure built during the 12th century. The monumental alabaster mosque, constructed by Mohamed Ali in 1805, will provide you with a beautiful view of Islamic Cairo which displays its historic mosques and minarets and domes.
Your Coptic Cairo tour will lead you to three historical sites which include the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon and the Hanging Church and the Cavern Church which tradition claims was the place where the Holy Family stayed. The Ben Ezra Synagogue will show you the place where Pharaoh's daughter discovered Moses' basket floating in the Nile.
Your tour manager will then guide you through the Islamic Cairo district, where you'll be amazed by the walls, gates, and ancient streets and corners dating back to the 10th century. You'll have the opportunity to walk to the famous Khan El Khalili market, where you can savour delicious mint tea at the Al-Fishawy cafe and enjoy a wonderful shopping experience.
As an optional activity, you can attend the sound and light show at the Giza Pyramids in the evening.
Your meals for the day include breakfast and lunch.
