Egyptian Museum, Cairo Citadel and Khan El-Khalili Tour

Get picked up from your hotel and start your day tour with your Cairo tour guide by exploring the dazzling Egyptian Museum, which houses the world's most extensive and rare collection of 5,000 years of Pharaonic antiquities. The legend of Tutankhamun captured imaginations globally when his tomb was unearthed by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon in 1922.
Discover the treasures of young King Tutankhamun.
Stop at Cairo Citadel, which resembles a typical early medieval fortress, with large imposing gateways, towers, and high defensive walls.
Visit the Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali. Modelled along classic Turkish lines, its unique construction with twin minarets took 18 years to complete.
Relax over lunch at a local restaurant, and then get transferred to Al-Mu'izz Street.
Take a stroll down the narrow alleyways of Khan El-Khalili to explore restaurants, coffee shops, and street food vendors around the area.
