Route

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, aan de rand van Caïro, herbergt de Grote Piramide, de Sfinx en een woestijnplateau dat al duizenden jaren reizigers aantrekt.

Op het plateau staan drie grote piramiden, gebouwd voor de farao's Choefoe, Chefren en Menkaoere, samen met kleinere koninginnenpiramiden en rijen graven van edelen. De Grote Piramide van Choefoe is het laatste nog bestaande van de Zeven Wereldwonderen van de Oudheid, en de Grote Sfinx waakt eronder, uitgehouwen uit de rotsbodem naast de dal-tempel van Chefren.
