Your day begins when your guide meets you at your hotel in Cairo or Giza in a comfortable, private air-conditioned vehicle.

Stop 2: Lunch
Enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant with traditional dishes, offering a taste of real Egyptian hospitality.

Continue your journey to the magnificent Grand Egyptian Museum, located just outside the Giza Plateau. Explore the vast galleries displaying thousands of artifacts, including the complete collection of King Tutankhamun’s treasures presented together for the first time.

At the end of the tour, relax as your driver takes you back to your hotel with memories that will last a lifetime.

Stop 3: Old Cairo (The Religious Complex)
Continue to Old Cairo, one of the oldest parts of the city, where faiths and cultures meet. Visit the Hanging Church, Abu Serga Church, and Ben Ezra Synagogue, and walk through the narrow lanes where Christian, Jewish, and Islamic history stand side by side.

Enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to your final stop.
Stop 5: Khan El Khalili Bazaar
End your tour at Cairo’s most famous market — Khan El Khalili. Wander through its colorful alleys filled with spices, perfumes, jewelry, and handcrafts. Enjoy free time for shopping, tea, or simply soaking in the atmosphere of this 14th-century bazaar.
