The museum displays an extensive collection spanning from the Predynastic Period to the Greco-Roman Era. The architect of the building was selected through an international competition in 1895, which was the first of its kind and was won by the French architect, Marcel Dourgnon. The museum was inaugurated in 1902 by Khedive Abbas Helmy II, and has become a historic landmark in downtown Cairo, and home to some of the world’s most magnificent ancient masterpieces.

3. The modern name of the Nile River comes from the Greek Nelios, but the Egyptians called it Iteru or “River.” The Nile is the longest river in the world, measuring some 6,825 km. The Nile River System has three main branches – the White Nile, the Blue Nile, and the Atbara River. We can take the boat on the Nile River between Cairo the capital of Egypt and Giza where's the pyramids, across this way you will see the culture of Egypt.

   1 h

4. Great Pyramid of Giza, also called Great Pyramid and Great Pyramid of Khufu, ancient Egyptian pyramid that is the largest of the three Pyramids of Giza. It was built to honor Khufu, the second king of Egypt’s 4th dynasty, and was completed about 2560 BCE. The Great Pyramid is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the World left standing today. As perhaps the largest single building ever constructed, it is a wonder mainly because of its scale and because of the incredible precision with which the work was executed. It is assumed to be the burial place of Khufu, but only an empty sarcophagus has been found inside. The pyramid originally stood about 482 feet (147 meters) high with four equal sides each measuring about 755 feet (230 meters). The giant, stepped sides were originally covered with highly polished limestone casing stones. When in place, these stones, weighing some 15 tons apiece and slotted together with unerring accuracy, would have lent sheen to the structure in the sun.

• 4The guides were nice, and...

  The guides were nice, and the trip went very smoothly. The museum and pyramids were beautiful. Guide Karim was very kind, and we were well fed. The McDonald’s stop on the bus was the cherry on top — tasty and time-efficient. However, instead of stopping at the perfume and papyrus shops, we could have spent more time at the pyramids. We only had one hour there and didn’t have much time to explore all three. Also, the Italian guide was more talkative than the English one, so we heard more interesting facts from him during the bus ride.

• 5Intensive experience -but it’s fully worth it

  A really great value for money, and they really did their best to show as much as possible despite the limited time available… be prepared for a really full day (24 hours) excursion, but every minute you invest in travelling pays off 😊
