Highlights
  • Pyramids of Giza - Upon arrival at Cairo airport, our Egypt Tailor Made tour guide will be waiting for you outside the arrival hall, holding a sign with your name or our company sign, and will transfer you to visit the Giza Plateau to see the impressive 3 Pyramids of Kings Cheops, Chephren, and Menkaure, which are guarded by the rock-cut statue (The Sphinx). The Great Pyramid of King Cheops is the only wonder of the seven wonders of the ancient world that is still standing today, although it is 2,000 years older than any other wonder on the list.

  • Egyptian Museum - Then, you will continue your journey through history, starting with the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, which was built in 1902 and exhibits a large number of items and treasures (exceeding 120,000 masterpieces) dating back to the ancient Egyptian period and Greco-Roman period, including the marvelous collection of the child king Tut Ankh Amon.

  • Bazar Khan El-Khalili - Then, moving to “Islamic Cairo” and taking a walking tour in the 1000-year-old “el Moez” street, which is considered an open-air museum for Terrific Islamic Buildings decorated with different patterns and paints, then ending our tour with a visit to Khan el Khalili Bazaar, one of Cairo’s main attractions. The district of Khan el Khalili was originally a mausoleum called “el Zaafran” for the burial of Fatimid Caliphs. After that, it became a district for the Turkish community during the Ottoman period, and now it has become a bazaar where you will find many souvenir shops, coffeehouses “Café” serving Arabic coffee and offering Hookah “Shisha”, and restaurants throughout the area.

After this trip, you will be transferred back to the airport to catch your flight.

Amazing museum and Bazaar visit with Sabry - Having Sabry as our guide was amazing. We are traveling the world with our 8 and 9 year olds, and our first stop with Sabry was the Egypt museum. My wife and I visited the museum 10 years ago as part of a bigger group, but without personal guiding. This trip was significantly better! We have also tried doing museums with our kids doing audio-guides: some have worked okay, but nothing like being with Sabry. Having Sabry, with his excitement, knowledge, and ability to engage us as both adults and kids made the museum come to life! The information and teaching he provided has also set up our ability to more greatly enjoy everything else we see in Egypt. After the museum, he guided us through the Bazaar, which was great as well. We travel a lot, but it's great to have a local, knowledgeable guide that is fun to talk with, listen to, and joke with throughout the experience. He gave a great dinner recommendation and overall was fantastic. Egypt Tailor Made is hands down the best tour agency we've ever dealt with (40+ countries visited) and Sabry is awesome! If you want to see more pictures from our day with him you can see Traveling Graces on IG.

Amazing tour of Cairo - We did a classical tour of Egypt, 8 days, organised by Egypt Tailor Made, Everything worked seamlessly, from transfers to sightseeing tours. We especially enjoyed the time with our guide in Cairo, Mrs Heba. She speaks great English, is highly knowledgeable and experienced. and on top of that is pleasant company. She was flexible, adapted the two day Cairo sightseeing tour to our needs and interests, plus knew ALL the best spots to take pictures (which came out great!). We were in Cairo during a heatwave, and Heba made sure to time all visits in such a way as to minimise the exposure to heat. So, all in all - two memorable days in Cairo, thanks to Heba and Egypt Tailor Made.

Cairo as we never expected - Just spent a wonderful day with Laila in Cairo. We visited the Coptic & Islamic parts of the city, as well as the Bazaar and the Egyptian Museum. Egypt Tailor Made gave us a driver (with an air conditioned car) that promptly picked us up directly from our hotel in the morning. We then went straight to all the sites. Laila speaks excellent english, is funny, and is very knowledgeable on all things Egyptian. Having your own guide gave us such a better experience since we could go at our own pace and ask questions whenever needed. Very personalized. Laila also made a special stop for us to a delicious sweets bakery just because she found out we love the Egyptian desserts! She also helped us barter in the Bazaar and explained what the people around us were saying. Excellent photographer as well! Thank you very much for all your help, Laila! You made Cairo such a special place for us
