Itinéraire

1. Enjoy a fantastic orientation tour of Cairo on an 8-hour excursion that takes in the major monuments of Old Cairo and the maze of streets and stalls of the historic Khan El Khalili Bazaar. Following a hotel pick-up from Cairo or Giza, you will drive up to the Saladin Citadel, constructed by Salah al-Din on the Moqattam Hills in 1183 AD as a defence against Crusader armies. Known for its fresh air and sweeping views of Cairo, it is now a preserved historic site of mosques and museums, including the Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha. Designed by the Turkish architect Yousif Boushnaq, who came to Cairo especially from Istanbul to build the great building, the mosque's alabaster structure stands in beautiful contrast to the sandstone city

About Gizeh

Gizeh, aux portes du Caire, abrite la Grande Pyramide, le Sphinx et un plateau désertique qui attire les voyageurs depuis des millénaires.

Le plateau compte trois grandes pyramides, bâties pour les pharaons Khéops, Khéphren et Mykérinos, ainsi que de plus petites pyramides de reines et des rangées de tombeaux de nobles. La Grande Pyramide de Khéops est la dernière des Sept Merveilles du monde antique encore debout, et le Grand Sphinx veille en contrebas, taillé dans le roc à côté du temple de la vallée de Khéphren.
