Giza Pyramids, Egyptian Museum, and Khan el-Khalili Bazaar

  • Meet your private tour guide at Cairo Airport. The guide will wait for you outside the arrival hall, holding a sign with your name.

  • Start your tour at the Egyptian Museum, where you can see a rare collection spanning 5,000 years of art. It is considered the largest and most precious collection of Egyptian art in the world. More than 250,000 genuine artefacts are displayed, including an exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamun's treasures, gold, and jewellery found in his tomb.

  • Stop next at Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, where you will enjoy free time to stroll through the maze of streets and bargain for a souvenir of your trip to Egypt.

  • Visit the Pyramids of Giza, beginning in front of the Pyramid of King Cheops, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Then see the Pyramid of King Chephren and the Pyramid of King Mykerinus. After that, enjoy a panoramic view of all three pyramids together from a great spot on the Giza Plateau.

  • Move on to the Valley Temple, which belongs to the Pyramids of Chephren. This temple was used for the purification process of the kings' mummies before burial.

  • Head on to see the Great Giza Sphinx, which lies at the foot of the pyramids. It has the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion, and dates back to the time of Chephren.
