You will start the day with a delicious breakfast served in the hotel's main restaurant before meeting your personal tour guide who will take you on your very first Cairo tour, and the destination is the pyramids of Giza built 4500 years ago.
Get your visit started at the Great Pyramid of Cheops, which was built over 20 years on the Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan with Nile Cruise, then you will visit the pyramids of kings Chephren and Mycerinus, all of them belonging to the same dynasty. Next, you will see the renowned Sphinx, the lion with a human head that protected the Necropolis for 450 years. Now, we will ascend the plateau to have a panoramic view of the pyramids and take fantastic pictures on the back of a camel while enjoying it (an optional activity). After that, your guide will lead you to the Valley Temple of King Chephren, which was dedicated to the Pharaoh's mummification process, and which is made of granite from Aswan and covered with stunning white alabaster on the Egypt Luxury Tour with Nile Cruise. Then, your tour guide along with your private driver will take you to visit the Egyptian Museum, which holds the largest and most valuable collection of Egyptian artifacts in the world, especially the royal treasure found intact, the collection of the Golden Pharaoh Tutankhamen, whose tomb in the Valley of the Kings was discovered by the famous British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922.
The next stop will be at the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon, the Hanging Church, which was built on ancient towers, and the church of St. Sergio, which is also known for its beauty. Sergius, which is also known as the Church of the Cave or the Church of the Holy Family, is built over the crypt where the Holy Family waited for almost 3 months by the well from which they obtained their water reserves. Your tour of Coptic Cairo extends until we visit the Ben Ezra Synagogue, believed to be the site of the castle where Moses' box was pulled from the Nile by the pharaoh's daughter.
After lunch, you will be escorted to Islamic Cairo where you will see the walls and gates of the medieval city built by the Fatimid leader Badr Al Gamali and the ancient, narrow streets filled with colorful stores from the 10th century on the Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan with Nile Cruise. You will go as far as to have mint tea in Al-Fishawy (one of the oldest coffee shops in Khan El Khalili Bazaar) during your excursion to Islamic Cairo.
