4 Days: Top Cairo Tour

17-Mar-2021

Enjoy a full-day tour exploring the history and culture of Egypt at the Egyptian Museum, Great Pyramids of Giza, and Great Sphinx. Then, shop for unique bargains in the historic Khan El Khalili Bazaar. An expert Egyptologist guide will be on hand at all times to offer helpful explanations of this most ancient of civilizations. Start your tour at the Egyptian Museum. Designed by the French architect Marcel Dourgnon, the museum is located in a handsome neo-classical building on Tahrir Square. Its collections exceed 120,000 masterpieces, ranging from the pre-dynastic era, to the Pharaonic and Greco-Roman periods. Undoubted highlights are the collection of rare treasures of King Tutankhamen, and the Mummies Room, which you can enter for a small extra charge. Continue to the Great Pyramids of Giza and Great Sphinx, the oldest of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, and the last still standing. Explore the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus. Your guide will describe the story of their monumental construction, and tell you about their mysteries, before you explore inside one of the pyramids. Proceed to the Great Sphinx, imposingly standing in the desert sand after thousands of years. Admire the colossal structure, before moving to the Valley Temple of the Pyramid of Cephren. Drive back to central Cairo and end your day at the lively Khan El Khalili Bazaar. Master the art of bargaining for great prices on fine brass ware, copper, perfumes, leather, silver, gold, and antiques. Lunch is included in this tour at local restaurant, but beverages are not included. The private tour includes the entry fees for the Giza Pyramids and Egyptian Museum. There is a possibility to ride a camel, visit inside the pyramids and see the Mummies room at the museum, but please note that this would be subject to an extra charge.

This tour was awesome. We were meet at the airport by Mohammed(he was holding a sign with my name on it). He took to a waiting van driven by John(a very safe and courteous driver). Mohammed checked us into our hotel. For the next two days these two gentlemen showed us all the sites and treated us like family. I was pressed by Mohammed's vast knowledge of Ancient Egypt and his knowledge of Cairo and the surrounding area. I would highly recommend this tour and I would ask for Mohamed by name. Ten stars across the board!!

We were a group of 7 girls on a yearly girls trip who didn't know much about Egypt, but all of this changed after four days with our knowledgable tour guide, Mohammed! We are now leaving the trip with so much knowledge about the culture and history of this county. Mohammed was also very timely and patient with our group. He taught us everything from haggling for our souvenir to learning about the mummies and the kings of Egypt! Of course, we love taking pictures, so Mohammed also took us to wonderful pictures and instagram worthy spots! Most importantly, we felt so safe the entire time! I would highly recommend both Ancient Egypt tours and Mohammed!

I travelled with Mohammed in Cairo and Alexandria for 4 days. I booked my own accommodation. The tour was nice and Mohammed was knowledgable and had good relations overall with most of the people we met. The food options provided by the guide in Alexandria was awesome, but I did not like the restaurant in Cairo. Overall nice experience and if I will have the opportunity then I will travel with him again. The driver Ahmed was also nice and the car used for Transport was Hyundai Elantra which was nice too. We had a good time, and we also visited mall of Egypt which was very huge but there was limited sale. Sale starts in Feb. I would rate it 4.5 out of 5
