Itinerary

A private air-conditioned vehicle collects you from your Cairo hotel to begin this 2 day Cairo tour of the Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum, heading first to the Giza Plateau, where your Egyptologist guide starts the day at the pyramid complex.

The Great Pyramid of Giza
Marvel at the Great Pyramid of Giza, a timeless symbol of Egypt’s pharaonic legacy. Your guide shares insights into its construction and historical significance.

The Sphinx of Giza
You stand before the Sphinx, a single limestone outcrop carved into a lion's body with a pharaoh's head roughly 4,500 years ago. Your guide points out the erosion patterns that first drew 19th-century excavators to the site.

The Valley of Khafra Temple
From the Sphinx, your driver continues a short distance to the Valley Temple of Khafre, built from red granite blocks weighing up to 150 tons each. Your guide traces the temple's role in the purification rituals that preceded Khafre's burial.

Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)
Your vehicle then continues to the Grand Egyptian Museum on the Giza Plateau, opened in 2023 as the world's largest archaeological museum. Conclude Day One with an overnight stay at your Cairo hotel. Relax and recharge for the second day of discovery.

Lunch

After breakfast at your Cairo hotel, the same private vehicle collects you to continue the 2 day Cairo itinerary with the Egyptian Museum and Islamic Cairo's historic quarter.

The Egyptian Museum
Your guide leads you through the Egyptian Museum's two floors of more than 120,000 objects, including Tutankhamun's death mask ahead of its transfer to GEM. The salmon-pink building has stood in Tahrir Square since 1902.

Salah El-Din Citadel
From the museum, your driver continues to the Salah El-Din Citadel, a fortified complex built in 1176 to defend Cairo against Crusader forces. You walk its stone ramparts for a view over the old city.

Mohamed Ali Mosque
Inside the citadel walls, you enter the Mohamed Ali Mosque, built between 1830 and 1848 in Ottoman style with a central dome and twin minarets. Your guide points out the alabaster cladding that gives the mosque its nickname.

National Museum of Egyptian Civilization
Your vehicle then continues to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, where a dedicated hall traces mummification practices across three millennia. The museum also holds the royal mummies moved here from the Egyptian Museum in 2021.

Al-Muizz Street
You continue on foot along Al-Muizz Street, a pedestrian corridor lined with mosques, fountains, and merchant houses dating to the Fatimid period. Your guide points out architectural details spanning more than 600 years of construction.

Khan El Khalil
The street opens into Khan El Khalili, a bazaar trading in spices, textiles, and metalwork since the 14th century. Travelers interested in longer adventures may consider extending their journey to Luxor and Abu Simbel.
