First Day: Explore The Pyramids & Egyptian Museum, Stay at a 4-Star Hotel

Sharm El Sheikh - Begin the journey to Cairo

The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities - Located in Tahrir Square, the Egyptian Museum is a treasure trove for Egyptologists since its inception. It houses some of the most remarkable ancient artifacts. Although some exhibits are relocating to the new Grand Egyptian Museum, it remains an essential visit for those fascinated by ancient Egypt.

Pyramids of Giza - As one of the enigmatic Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one still intact, the Pyramids of Giza—the Great Pyramid of Khufu, Pyramid of Khafre, and Pyramid of Menkaure—continue to captivate after more than 4,000 years. Witnessing these 4th-dynasty pyramids and their guardian, the Great Sphinx, on the Giza Plateau is a highlight of any Cairo visit and a primary reason many travelers come to Egypt.

Great Sphinx - Standing 66 feet (20 meters) tall, the Sphinx of Giza is a symbol of ancient Egypt, sparking ongoing discussions about its significance, age, and original creator. With a human head and a lion’s body, the Sphinx—one of the largest and oldest statues globally—represents strength, power, and wisdom.

Egypt Papyrus Museum - Papyrus plays a significant role in Egypt’s history. The material, derived from the Cyperus papyrus plant, features a fragile interior and a sturdy exterior, thriving in the moist areas of the Nile Delta. Its production method was a closely guarded secret, giving ancient Egyptians a monopoly on its creation and trade. The Papyrus Institute, a government-approved museum and shop near the Giza Pyramids, offers a vast array of hand-painted papyrus prints. Prices vary, but these authentic prints make excellent souvenirs. The staff at the Papyrus Institute guide visitors through the papyrus-making process, including a live demonstration.

Second Day: Discover Islamic & Coptic Cairo

قلعة صلاح الدين الأيوبي - Start with a visit to the renowned Citadel of Saladin, a medieval Islamic fortress providing sweeping views of Cairo. Discover its historical significance and strategic role.

Mosque of Muhammad Ali - Within the citadel lies the splendid Mohamed Ali Mosque, celebrated for its exquisite alabaster exterior and grand Ottoman-style design. This mosque is a key landmark in Cairo.

Coptic Cairo - After lunch, explore the spiritual core of Old Cairo. Visit:

The historic Coptic Church

The Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, believed to be built on the site where the Holy Family rested during their escape to Egypt

The Ben Ezra Synagogue, one of Egypt’s oldest

Mosque of Amr Ibn Al-As - Proceed to the Amr Ibn Al-As Mosque, Egypt’s first mosque (built in 642 AD). Appreciate its tranquil, minimalist architecture that has influenced Islamic design for centuries.

Khan Al-Khalili - Conclude your day with a trip to the lively Khan El Khalili Bazaar, Cairo’s largest and most renowned market. Enjoy free time to shop for souvenirs, spices, jewelry, and crafts, or simply absorb the vibrant atmosphere of this bustling bazaar.
