Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Step onto the Giza Plateau and stand before the Great Pyramid of Khufu — the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World — alongside the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. Your licensed Egyptologist guide brings 4,500 years of history to life, explaining how these monumental tombs were built and who lies within. Walk to the famous panoramic viewpoint to photograph all three pyramids together, then meet the iconic Great Sphinx at the Valley Temple of Khafre. Optional experiences include entering a pyramid chamber or a camel ride across the desert sands.

   3 hAdmission included

2. Step inside the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) — the world's largest archaeological museum, housing over 100,000 artifacts from 5,000 years of pharaonic history. The crown jewel is the Tutankhamun Galleries, where, for the first time since Howard Carter's 1922 discovery, the complete 5,398-piece collection from the boy king's tomb is displayed together. Marvel at the legendary solid gold funerary mask, the nested gilded shrines, six ceremonial chariots, the golden throne, and personal items revealing Tutankhamun's daily royal life. Your licensed Egyptologist guide brings the rituals, beliefs, and burial traditions of ancient Egypt to life as you ascend the museum's grand staircase, lined with monumental statues of pharaohs and offering panoramic views of the Giza Pyramids in the distance.

   3 hAdmission included

3. Travel back through 1,000 years of living history in the winding streets of Old Cairo. Visit the magnificent Citadel of Saladin, perched on the Mokattam hills, and step inside the Mosque of Muhammad Ali (the Alabaster Mosque), with its soaring Ottoman domes and panoramic views over the city's minarets and rooftops. Explore Coptic Cairo, one of the oldest Christian neighborhoods in the world, including the iconic Hanging Church, the ancient Ben Ezra Synagogue, and the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, said to be built where the Holy Family rested in Egypt. End your visit with a stroll through Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, Cairo's legendary 14th-century market — a maze of spice stalls, copperware, perfume oils, and handcrafted souvenirs, with a stop at the famous El Fishawy café for traditional mint tea. Your Egyptologist guide brings each era to life — from Pharaonic to Coptic, Islamic, and Ottoman Cairo.
