Highlights
- Pyramids of Giza - Begin your day tour with a pickup from your Cairo hotel by our expert tour guide. You’ll be transported to Giza City in a private air-conditioned vehicle. Visit the Giza Pyramids to see the Great Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. Cheops is the largest pyramid ever constructed. Next, explore the Valley Temple, where bodies were mummified, and get an up-close view of the Sphinx, a massive funerary complex guarded by a lion’s body with the face of King Chephren.
- Old Cairo - Continue your tour in Old Cairo, also known as Christian Coptic Cairo, one of the most significant sites visited by the Holy Family. Despite their brief stay, the spiritual impact of their presence is still felt. The Governor of Fustat, angered by the falling idols at Jesus’ approach, sought to kill the Child. The family took refuge in a cave, over which the Church of Abu Serga (St. Sergius) was later built. This area, including the Fort of Babylon, is a pilgrimage destination for Egyptians and Christians worldwide. The district exudes an air of piety and devotion. You can visit and enter the Church of Abu-Sergah, St. Barbara, the Hanging Church, and the old Jewish synagogue, Ben Ezra Synagogue.
- Mosque of Muhammad Ali - Visit the Citadel and the Mohamed Ali Mosque. The Citadel, a vast fortification in central Cairo, has a rich history dating back to Saladin’s era in the 12th century. Its high walls and grand gates tell stories of power, conquest, and defense. Inside this fortified citadel is the stunning Mohamed Ali Mosque, a prime example of Ottoman architecture. With its towering minarets, grand domes, and intricate details, the mosque is a must-see in Cairo’s skyline. Experience the blend of history and architectural beauty at the Citadel and Mohamed Ali Mosque.
- Khan Al-Khalili - Explore the Khan Khalili Bazaar, a world-famous market filled with a wide variety of Egyptian antiques, jewelry, spices, perfumes, and textiles. The Bazaar offers a quintessential Egyptian shopping experience with an oriental atmosphere that attracts both locals and tourists. Enjoy the engaging aromas, colorful stalls, and the melodic hum of bartering that make the Khan Khalili Bazaar a must-visit destination in Cairo.
At the end of the day, we will transfer you back to your hotel.

A Memorable Historical Tour - I had a great time on my trip with Marwa Galal last week ago ! She knows a great deal about Egyptian history. Listening to others impart this knowledge during the journey was incredibly fascinating. She also kept everyone who was attempting to sell me stuff away and assisted me with taking pictures. I would most definitely suggest him to anyone else who is interested in taking a tour of the pyramids!💕💕💕💕

Amazingly Fantastic! - One of the things that stood out the most to me was how Marwa made sure we didn't fall for any tourist traps. As someone who has been to Egypt before, I know how easy it is to get caught up in the overpriced tourist attractions. But with Marwa's guidance, we were able to avoid them and instead, experience the authentic culture and history of Egypt.

Awesome experience 2024 - What made our experience even better was the fact that we had the same tour guide and driver for all 3 days. Marwa Galal, our tour guide, was one of the best I have ever met. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that we had an unforgettable time. Not only did he take us to all the must-see places, but he also made sure to show us some hidden gems that we would have never found on our own. I highly recommend booking your tours with this company. From the moment we made our booking, their team was professional and responsive. Our tour guide and driver were punctual, friendly, and made us feel safe throughout our entire trip. We never had to worry about a thing, as everything was taken care of for us.

Fantastic Day! - My experience with Virtue Day Tours and our tour guide, Marwa Galal, was absolutely fantastic. Marwa expertly navigated us through the museum, Citadel, and the Bazaar with ease, providing insightful information and making the experience truly memorable. Our driver, Ahmed Nasr, also played a crucial role in making the day run smoothly, expertly navigating the chaotic Cairo traffic. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with both gentlemen and would highly recommend Virtue Day Tours for anyone looking for a hassle-free and enriching tour experience.

Private Tour in Egypt was the Best Decision Ever - I had secretly reserved a private tour for myself in Egypt, and it turned out to be crucial in having such a fun and secure trip. My full day tour included lunch, the bazaar, the citadel, the pyramids, and a felucca cruise down the Nile. There is nothing more amazing that I could have hoped for. The guide, Said, was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure I had the best experience possible. I highly recommend booking a private tour in Egypt for an unforgettable adventure.

Second Tour in Cairo with Marwa Galal After Visiting Giza Pyramids, Old Cairo, the Citadel, and the Bazaar - Following an amazing trip to the Giza Pyramids, Old Cairo, the Citadel, and the Bazaar with Marwa Galal.With him, I reserved a second tour!
Since I only had three full days in Cairo, I decided to make the most of my touring and scheduled a trip that included the Giza Pyramids, Old Cairo, and the Bazaar. I'm glad I did.Marwa Galal deserves recognition for his commitment to my happiness, his willingness to take countless pictures, and his depth of knowledge. What amazed me was that throughout both visits, Essam was always able to provide me with a clear and concise response to whatever query I had.
Marwa Galal also helped me find some wonderful and authentic Egyptian street cuisine and accommodated my vegan dietary restrictions.
As an LGBT person traveling alone in a foreign society, there can be anxiety, but Essam made me feel quite comfortable despite my new surroundings. Although the overarching theme of this trip has been the fallibility of Western media when it comes to Middle Easterners, Essam and this specific tour stood out in particular.

Excellent Tour Guide - I had a fantastic experience on my tour today with Marwa Galal! His wealth of knowledge on Egyptian history really added depth to the tour and made it so much more enjoyable. Not only was he informative, but he also went above and beyond to assist with taking photos and shielding us from pushy vendors. I highly recommend Marwa for a memorable and hassle-free tour experience in Egypt!
