Tour Plan
Upon your arrival at Cairo Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by our representative who will assist you through the formalities and then transport you to your hotel. The adventure begins in the evening with a Dinner Cruise on the Nile. As you glide along the magical river, you'll relax and enjoy a belly dancing show and a folklore band, featuring the unforgettable Tannoura spin, a tradition akin to the whirling dervishes of Egypt. This enchanting experience sets the tone for your exploration of Cairo's historical splendor.
The following day, after breakfast at the hotel, a full day of exploration awaits. Your first destination is the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, home to the world's most extensive collection of Egyptian artifacts, spanning 5,000 years of civilization. Here, history unfolds through the treasures of pharaohs and the story of a civilization that has captivated humanity. Next, you'll journey to the land of the great pyramids—Cheops, Chefren, and Mykerinos. The Pyramid of Cheops, in particular, stands as a testament to ancient ambition and ingenuity. Nearby, the legendary Sphinx watches over these funerary monuments, embodying the might of King Chefren. Your exploration extends to Memphis, the ancient capital, where the colossal statue of Ramses II and the alabaster Sphinx await. The day's journey concludes with a visit to Sakkara, featuring the Step Pyramid of Djoser, an architectural marvel that predates the famous pyramids of Giza.
On your third day, after breakfast, you'll delve into the medieval heart of Cairo, starting with the Citadel of Salah El-Din. This fortress, built by Saladin in the 12th century, was the seat of power for over 700 years and offers a panoramic view of Cairo. Inside, the Mohamed Ali Mosque stands as a symbol of Egypt's rich Islamic heritage. The day continues with a return to the Egyptian Museum, allowing for a deeper exploration of its vast collections. Your adventure in Cairo would not be complete without a stroll through the Khan El Khalili Bazaar, a bustling market that offers a glimpse into Cairo's vibrant commercial life. Here, history and commerce intertwine, offering treasures and trinkets that tell tales of Cairo's past.
Your final day begins with breakfast before heading to Coptic Cairo, where the city's Christian heritage is preserved in churches like the Hanging Church and the Church of St. George and St. Barbara, as well as the Ben Ezra Synagogue. This area provides a unique perspective on the religious and cultural diversity that has shaped Cairo over centuries. The tour concludes with a transfer to the airport, marking the end of a journey through time, from the ancient wonders of the pharaohs to the medieval alleys of Islamic Cairo, leaving you with memories of the enduring legacy of Egypt's capital.
