Early in the morning around 6:30 AM, a representative from New Travel Dynamics will meet you at your hotel in Giza and transfer you in a private, modern, air-conditioned vehicle to begin your Cairo sightseeing tour from Giza. Your expert guide will accompany you throughout the day as you explore some of Cairo’s most important ancient, Islamic, and Coptic landmarks.
Your first stop is the Giza Pyramids and Great Sphinx. Go and wander around the awe inspiring pyramid complex, figure out who those pharaohs were that actually built these ancient monuments, and take a traditional camel ride, around the Giza Plateau so you can absorb the views of the pyramids and the desert landscape at the same time. It’s kind of a slow, cinematic kind of experience.
Next head over to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, where you’ll find an extensive collection of artifacts that cover different eras of ancient Egyptian history. After that, make a visit to the Citadel of Saladin, it is this remarkable medieval fortress and also a key example of Islamic architecture right here in Cairo.
Continue your private Cairo full day tour with a visit to Coptic Cairo, where you can explore historic Christian landmarks including the famous Hanging Church. Then, stop at a local restaurant for lunch before heading to Al-Azhar and Khan El-Khalili. Take time to explore the historic streets and lively atmosphere of Cairo’s famous traditional bazaar.
At the end of your tour a representative from New Travel Dynamics will drive you back to your hotel in Giza, concluding your full-day exploration of Cairo ancient and cultural highlights.
