- The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities - Begin your full-day tour with a pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by our guide to visit the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. This museum showcases the largest and most valuable collection of Egyptian art globally. It features a rare assortment of over 250,000 authentic artifacts dating back 5,000 years. Notably, it includes the stunning gold collection of King Psusennes—a treasure trove of gold and jewelry that remained hidden in his tomb for over 3,500 years until its discovery in 1920 during an excavation.
- Coptic Cairo - Next, explore Old Cairo, also known as Christian Coptic Cairo, one of the most significant sites visited by the Holy Family. The spiritual essence of their presence is still palpable, despite their brief stay. The Governor of Fustat, angered by the falling idols at Jesus’ approach, sought to harm the Child. However, they found refuge in a cave, above which the Church of Abu Serga (St. Sergius) was later constructed. This area, including the Fort of Babylon, is a pilgrimage site for Egyptians and Christians worldwide. The district exudes an atmosphere of piety and devotion. Visitors can also explore the Church of Abu-Sergah, St. Barbara, the Hanging Church, and the historic Ben Ezra Synagogue.
-
Cairo Citadel - Conclude your tour with a visit to The Citadel of Cairo, where you can explore The Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali Pasha.
Lunch is provided between visits at a local restaurant, offering a full meal for each person, though beverages are not included.
