Itinerary
The Grand Egyptian Museum is one of the most anticipated cultural treasures in the world, offering an extraordinary journey through Egypt’s ancient history in a modern, breathtaking setting. During your tour, you’ll explore vast galleries showcasing thousands of artifacts, including the complete collection of King Tutankhamun, displayed together for the first time. The museum’s grand atrium, dominated by a colossal statue of Ramses II, sets the tone for an immersive experience that blends cutting-edge presentation with deep heritage. As you walk through its expansive halls, you’ll encounter meticulously preserved relics, interactive exhibits, and architectural marvels that highlight Egypt’s brilliance across millennia. A visit to the GEM is not just a museum stop—it’s an inspiring encounter with the past, offering a rich and memorable chapter in your day’s exploration of Cairo.
Pyramid of Cheops (The gretest Pyramid on earth and the only remaining wonder of the seven wonders of the ancient world) Pyramid of Chephren (the second pyramid in Giza and it still keeps great part of its outer casing) Pyramid of Mycerinus (The third and smallest Pyramid and it is partially covered with granite blocks) Sphinx (the huge mystical Guardian of the pyramids with the body of a lion and the head of king Chephren)
The area of the Bazaar of Khan El Khalili is a must see in Cairo as it is the oldest oriental market and the experience of bargaining and walking by ancient mosques and houses is something not to be missed.
A felucca (traditional sailboat) is quite a relaxing experience and soothing time during the day of your tour.
