Start your day with a delicious buffet breakfast at the hotel, featuring a mix of international and local dishes. Then, join your English-speaking guide for a visit to the iconic Giza Plateau. Explore the Great Pyramid of Cheops, a marvel of ancient engineering that still astounds scientists with its precision. Your guide will also take you to see the Pyramids of Chephren and Mycerinus, and you'll have time for photos and explanations.
Next, visit the Great Sphinx, a colossal statue with a lion’s body and a human head, and the Valley Temple of Chephren, where mummification was carried out.
Enjoy lunch at a top Cairo restaurant before heading to Islamic Cairo. Wander through the bustling market and experience local life, perhaps sipping mint tea at historic cafes like El Fishawy or Layaly Al-Hussein in Khan El Khalili.
Return to the hotel for the night. The next day, explore the Egyptian Museum with your guide, who will detail the treasures, including Tutankhamun's golden artifacts discovered in 1922.
Finally, tour Coptic Cairo, visiting the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon, the Hanging Church, and the church of St Sergius, where the Holy Family is believed to have stayed. Conclude with a visit to the Ben Ezra Synagogue, one of Cairo’s oldest Jewish places of worship.
