Your English-speaking guide will then take you to the Giza Plateau, where you’ll explore the legendary Great Pyramid of King Cheops, marveling at its perfect orientation and awe-inspiring design. You'll also visit the Pyramids of Chephren and the smaller Pyramid of Mycerinus. After learning about their history and capturing memorable photos, you’ll visit the iconic Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple of King Chephren, where ancient mummification processes were performed.
Lunch will be served at a high-quality restaurant in Cairo. Afterward, head to Islamic Cairo to explore the bustling markets and enjoy traditional mint tea at one of Cairo’s oldest cafes, El Fishawy or Layaly Al-Hussein, in the vibrant Khan El Khalili bazaar.
Later, visit the Egyptian Museum where your guide will explain the highlights, including the treasures of King Tutankhamun, discovered in 1922 in the Valley of the Kings. Your day continues with a Coptic Cairo tour, where you’ll see the old Roman fortress of Babylon, the Hanging Church, St. Sergius Church (with the crypt where the Holy Family stayed), and the historic Ben Ezra Synagogue.
