Itinerary

1. Begin your day with a pick-up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza. Ensure you are dressed comfortably with proper footwear, as the day will involve quite a bit of walking. It’s also a good idea to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. A bottle of water is essential to stay hydrated throughout the day. Your first stop is the world-renowned Giza Plateau, home to the Great Pyramids of Giza. As you approach the plateau, the sheer size and grandeur of the pyramids become apparent. Built more than 4,500 years ago, the Giza Pyramids stand as a testament to Egypt’s engineering prowess and the religious beliefs of the ancient pharaohs.

5. One of the world’s most important collections of ancient artefacts, the Egyptian Museum takes pride of place in Downtown Cairo, on the north side of Midan Tahrir. Inside the great domed, oddly pinkish building, the glittering treasures of Tutankhamun and other great pharaohs lie alongside the grave goods, mummies, jewellery, eating bowls and toys of Egyptians whose names are lost to history.

6. Midan Tahrir (Liberation Sq) gained world renown in early 2011, when millions of Egyptians converged here to oust then-president Hosni Mubarak. On a regular day, it’s just your average giant roundabout (traffic circle), albeit one where half-a-dozen major arteries converge. The main reason you'll pass through is to visit the powder-pink puffball bulk of the Egyptian Museum.
