Giza Pyramids, Egyptian Museum, and Civilization Museum

Pyramids of Giza - Start your day with breakfast at the hotel. An Egyptologist will meet and escort you from the hotel for a private tour in Cairo. The first stop is the Giza area to visit the Giza Pyramids (Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus). The Great Pyramid is famously one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Nearby, you will see the Sphinx and the Dream Stela. The Sphinx is a magnificent statue carved into a hill, combining power, majesty, and mystery with its lion’s body and human head, historically guarding Egypt’s northwestern gateway.

Egyptian Museum - Next, travel to The Egyptian Museum, home to one of the world’s greatest collections of rare and unique antiquities. The museum features various floors and sections, including an impressive section dedicated to the young King Tutankhamun, showcasing his royal throne chair. The Mummies Court is a major attraction, along with a collection of ancient jewelry made of pure gold, statues, and portraits from different ancient dynasties.

National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NEMC) - Following this, visit the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization to explore pieces representing Egypt’s civilization across different eras.

The Citadel of Salah Eldin, The Religious Complex, and Khan El-Khalili Bazaar

قلعة صلاح الدين الأيوبي - The Egyptologist Tour Guide from Book Egypt Tours will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle to begin your journey. The first stop of the day is The Citadel of Salah Eldin, constructed by Salah al-Din on the Moqattam Hills in 1183 AD as a defense against Crusader armies. Visit the Alabaster Mosque at the Citadel of Salah El-Din, also known as The Mosque of Mohamed Ali Pasha. Still a place of worship today, it is the most important mosque in Cairo. Designed by Turkish architect Youssef Boushnaq, who traveled from Istanbul to build this magnificent structure, the mosque’s alabaster contrasts beautifully with the sandstone city. The tour guide will provide an overview of the mosque’s history during your visit.

Old Cairo - Next, travel to Old Cairo to explore the religious complex, including Amr Ibn Al-As Mosque, the Hanging Church, Abu Serga Church, and Ben Ezra Synagogue, all located on the same street where the Holy Family once visited. This enriching holy day tour is a highlight.
