After enjoying a delicious open-buffet breakfast at your hotel in Cairo, your accredited guide will take you to the Giza Pyramids area, where you’ll fulfill your dream of visiting the Great Pyramid of Cheops. This is the largest and most famous of the pyramids built during Egypt’s Old Kingdom as burial sites for the pharaohs. You'll also explore the pyramids of Chephren and Mycerinus, as well as the iconic Sphinx of Giza, believed to have been constructed during the fourth dynasty. For an added adventure, consider taking an optional camel ride around the pyramids. The tour will conclude with a visit to the Valley Temple, the mummification temple of King Chephren.
Next, your personal driver and Egyptologist guide will escort you to the Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo. This museum houses an impressive collection of artifacts and masterpieces spanning over 6,000 years of Egyptian history. With 160,000 items on display, including exquisite gold and silver pieces, large stone sarcophagi, and statues of ancient kings and rulers, you’ll also have the opportunity to visit the royal mummies room and see the funerary collection of Yuya and Tuya, the great-grandparents of King Tutankhamun.
After a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, the tour continues to Islamic Cairo. Here, you’ll explore the city's historic walls and gates, gaining a deeper understanding of local life.
To wrap up your day, enjoy a refreshing mint tea or a special mango juice at El Fishawy Cafe, the oldest continuously operating cafe in Egypt, located within Khan El Khalili, Cairo’s famous bazaar.
After the tour, you’ll return to your hotel for the night. If you’re interested, an optional Nile dinner cruise complete with entertainment is available—just coordinate with your guide for pickup arrangements.
