Luxury Tours of Cairo, Alexandria, Aswan, and Luxor

Make the most of your first morning in Cairo with a guided tour of the Giza Necropolis. Your certified English-speaking guide will meet you in the hotel lobby and take you on a fascinating journey to view the awe-inspiring 4500-year-old pyramids of the Pharaohs.

The Great Pyramid of Cheops, standing at 146 metres and constructed from over 2.3 million limestone blocks, showcases the remarkable engineering and construction skills of the ancient Egyptians, reflecting their advanced level of sophistication.

Your tour will also include the impressive pyramids of Chephren and Mycerinus, with an optional camel ride around the Giza Pyramids. Your guide will ensure you capture some stunning views and unforgettable memories.

Next, you'll visit the Valley Temple associated with the pyramid of King Chephren. We’ll then proceed to Cairo's downtown El Tahrir Square for a tour of the Egyptian Museum. This nearly two-hour tour will take you through the two-story museum, featuring a golden collection of King Tutankhamun and the funerary artifacts of Yuya and Tuya, the grandparents of King Akhenaten.

After a delightful lunch at a top restaurant, you'll continue your sightseeing with a Coptic Cairo tour. Explore the ruins of Babylon and visit the Hanging Church of the Holy Virgin Mary, which dates back to the 7th century and includes icons from the early days of Christianity in Egypt. You'll also see the Cavern Church of Abu Serga, dedicated to two Christian martyrs, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue, which has transitioned from a Christian church to one of the few Jewish synagogues in Egypt.
