Itinerary

Day :

Your Cairo stopover starts the moment we meet you at Cairo Airport. A driver will pick you up in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. An experienced tour guide travels with you. From there, you head out to see the Giza Pyramids, one of the seven wonders of the world.

Giza Pyramids Complex  
The Giza area is an open-air site that goes back over 4500 years. Visitors come for the sights of blessed Giza, with its main pyramids, smaller pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and the Valley Temple.

The Great Pyramid  
The Great Pyramid of Khufu dates to about 2600 BC. It was built as a final home for Khufu. Today it stands out as the only one still in place from the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The pyramid rises 147 meters high. It is also said to weigh around six million tons. Inside, there are several inner passages and chambers.

The Great Sphinx  
The Great Sphinx is often described as the largest man-made statue on earth. It was made for Pharaoh Khafre, who lived from 2558 to 2532 BC. The sphinx is linked with ideas of wisdom and power. Between the paws, you can also see the Thutmose IV dream stele.

Valley Temple  
The Valley Temple has a strong connection to the old rites of mummification and cleansing. It dates back to the early Old Kingdom period, between 2686 and 2134 BC. Its role was to help prepare the royal family so they could be remembered as immortal figures.

The Grand Egyptian Museum  
The Grand Egyptian Museum will be a key stop for seeing around 5,000 years of Egypt’s past. It highlights the skill, beliefs, and lasting impact of ancient Egypt. The site matches the view of the Great Pyramids of Giza. It covers close to 490,000 square meters. GEM is set up to include major conservation work. There will also be research rooms and places for learning, all focused on safeguarding Egypt’s heritage. Visitors can see famous pieces such as the Hanging Obelisk. You will also find the 11-meter statue of Ramses II. In addition, the full set of more than 5,000 items from Tutankhamun will be shown.  

Lunch Time  
Lunch will be served at the Pyramids, Nile view restaurant. After you finish, you will go to visit the next places.  

The Egyptian Museum  
The Egyptian Museum has been a hub for art and beauty since it was built in 1901 AD. It shows the long story of ancient Egypt. This history reaches back over 5,000 years. It also connects to the work of making lasting artifacts and monuments.  

Al Muizz Street  
Al Muizz Street sits in the old Cairo area. It dates to the 10th century AD under the Fatimid dynasty. At that time, it was meant to show the bright creative side of the Islamic era. In 1979, the street was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list.  

Khan El Khalili Bazaar  
Finish your tour at Khan El Khalili Bazaar. This market area is one of the first landmarks of old Cairo. It started in 970. Later, it became a place for shopping and fun. You can also find some of the finest and most unusual goods across Egypt.
