Day 02

Giza Pyramids, Egyptian Museum, Old Cairo and Khan El Khalili

  • Have breakfast at your hotel in Cairo, and then meet your guide, who will accompany you to the Giza Plateau to visit one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World - the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) and three small pyramids. You will continue to explore the rest of the Giza Plateau, including Khafre's (Chephren's) pyramid, Khufu's son's pyramid and the second-largest pyramid on the Giza site, the remains of the funerary temple, the pyramid of Menkaure (Mykerinus), and three small pyramids.
  • Then proceed to visit the Great Sphinx, the head of a pharaoh with a lion's body, which dates from the time of Chephren. The tour also includes a visit to the Valley Temple, which belongs to the pyramids of Chephren. This temple definitely served two functions: first, it was used for the purification of the mummy of the king before burial; second, it was used for carrying out the king's mummification process.
  • After visiting the pyramids, continue across the plateau for a photo of the three pyramids rising from the sands, with the Cairo skyline in the background.
  • Next, move to the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, commonly known as the Egyptian Museum, in Cairo, Egypt. It is home to an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities and dates back some 5,000 years of art, considered the largest and most precious collection of Egyptian art in the world. Over 250,000 genuine artifacts are presented, with a representative amount on display and the remainder in storerooms. The Egyptian Museum is filled with thousands of Pharaonic artifacts, including the golden treasures of King Tutankhamun. Fascinating objects such as jewels, headdresses, alabaster vases, and toys from ancient Egypt are all on display. Many priceless statues and other artifacts can also be seen, which were enclosed in his tomb for over 3,500 years before it was discovered in the 1920s when his tomb was excavated. The Egyptian Museum is one of the first stops on most people's itineraries when travelling to Egypt. This distinctive museum, which houses a vast store of priceless objects from earlier times to the Greco-Roman period, is worth seeing. Before extending your trip, you will be served a warm, delightful lunch meal at a high-quality restaurant.
  • Further, proceed to Old Cairo to visit fascinating built wonders such as the Hanging Church, which was built in the 3rd and beginning of the 4th century, also in the Basilica style. The Abu Sirga Church and Ben Ezra Synagogue, which date back to the beginning of the 15th century AD, were built in the Basilica style above the cave where the Holy Family took refuge.
  • End your tour in Cairo with a visit to Amr Ibn El-Aas Mosque, the very first mosque built in Egypt.
