Itinerary

Upon your arrival at Cairo International Airport, our representative will greet you and transfer you to your hotel via an exclusive vehicle. After settling in and leaving your bags, you will have the opportunity to explore one of the most impressive marvels of ancient times, the Pyramid of King Khufu (also known as Cheops). This pyramid is the only remaining wonder of the ancient world that is almost intact, and it serves as a testament to the prosperity of ancient Egypt during Khufu's reign, despite there being little left from his actual reign except for a tiny statuette in The Egyptian Museum is a world-renowned museum located in Cairo, Egypt. It houses an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts and antiquities, including mummies, sarcophagi, statues, and other treasures spanning over 5,000 years of Egyptian history.

At first glance, it may appear that the pyramid of King Khufu's son, Chephren, is taller than his father's pyramid. However, this is a visual illusion, as the second pyramid is actually slightly smaller in size but built on a higher plateau. Despite this difference in elevation, the great pyramid of Cheops remains an impressive feat of engineering, with its massive stone blocks carefully crafted and arranged in a highly symmetrical pattern.

Following That you will be taken to see the pyramid of Mycerinus, the son and successor of Chephren, which is smaller in size. All three pyramids - those of Khufu, Chephren, and Mycerinus - can be clearly seen from the elevated Giza Plateau. As an optional tour organized on-site by your private Egyptologist, you can also enjoy a camel ride around the Giza Pyramids, providing a unique and unforgettable perspective of these ancient wonders.

Next, you will have the opportunity to explore the Valley Temple of Chephren and the Great Sphinx, which is believed to have been carved from a single block of bedrock on the plateau for the same king. The Sphinx is a mythological creature with the body of a lion and the head of a man, which was often used by ancient Egyptian rulers as a symbol of power, royalty, divinity, and wisdom.

You will be taken to the Dahshur archaeological site to see two pyramids that were built for King Snefru, the Bent Pyramid, and the Red Pyramid. King Snefru attempted to create the perfect burial tomb four times, resulting in the construction of four pyramids, but there is no evidence of his burial in any of them.

Afterward, you will explore the Valley Temple of Chephren and The Great Sphinx of Giza, which is believed to have been carved from a single block of bedrock on the plateau for the same king. The Sphinx is a mythological creature with the body of a lion and the head of a man, which was often used by ancient Egyptian rulers as a symbol of power, royalty, divinity, and wisdom.
Next on the itinerary, you will visit the Saqqara necropolis to see the hep-sed court, where King Djoser renewed his reign at the pyramid complex. This complex includes the Step Pyramid, which is the oldest stone pyramid in history and a remarkable example of ancient Egyptian architecture.

Transfer back to the hotel, overnight, and if you feel like going for other things to do in Cairo at night you can let your personal tour consultant suggest the preferred tours in Cairo with a suitable pick-up time.

Meals: Welcome Drink, Lunch

After breakfast, your accredited tour guide will meet you in the hotel lobby to begin your city tour of Cairo, starting with the area known as Old Cairo. Your Coptic Cairo tour will commence in this area, where the ruins of the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon can be seen. The Hanging Church of the Holy Virgin Mary is also located here, constructed over two towers of the fort and earning its name due to appearing to hang in the air. Your personal Egyptologist will provide detailed information about the history of Christianity in Egypt, and you will also visit the cavern church where the Holy Virgin Mary and baby Jesus Christ sought refuge for almost three months. Additionally, you will visit the Ben Ezra Synagogue, which was once a Christian church before being sold due to heavy taxes imposed by one of the Muslim rulers at the time.
After enjoying a delicious lunch, your Cairo tour will continue to the Khan El Khalili Bazaar, an area that is known to shine from night until dawn. Here, you can indulge in a Cairo shopping tour and browse through the various shops and stalls. Additionally, you can enjoy a cup of the tastiest tea-mint in one of the local cafes in the area.

Transfer to Cairo airport or any requested drop-off location after your Cairo 2-day city tour is over.
