Itinerary:

Our tour guide will pick you up from your hotel at 8 am to start your day by visiting the Citadel of Salah El Din, built on famous hill Al Moqattam in Cairo, that was constructed for military purposes, for protecting Cairo from incoming threats. Since then, it became a residence of the king of Egypt for many centuries. The Citadel is sometimes referred to as Mohamed Ali Citadel, because it contains the Mosque of Muhammad Ali. This Ottoman mosque, the largest to be built in the first half of the 19th century, is, with its animated silhouette and twin minarets, the most visible mosque in Cairo. The mosque was built in memory of Tusun Pasha, Muhammad Ali’s oldest son, who died in 1816. This great mosque, along with the citadel, is one of the landmarks and tourist attractions of Cairo and is one of the first features to be seen when approaching the city from no matter which side.

Step into the awe-inspiring Grand Egyptian Museum, where 5,000 years of history come to life beneath the golden light of Giza. As you walk through its vast galleries, the treasures of ancient Egypt unfold before you — colossal statues of pharaohs, intricate jewelry, and the full collection of Tutankhamun’s tomb displayed together for the first time. Through glass walls, the pyramids rise majestically in the distance, connecting past and present in one breathtaking view. Each hall tells a story of power, faith, and artistry, immersing you in the splendor of one of humanity’s greatest civilizations.

No trip to Cairo would be complete without a visit to Khan Al-Khalili. The bazaar is loud, crowded, colorful, and exciting—full of all kinds of goods and shiny baubles. The market has several restaurants and cafés spread throughout where you can take a break from shopping. Even if you are not looking to buy, taking a walk through the winding alleys of this labyrinthine district, you are sure to find something that will catch your eye
Finally, transfer back to your hotel in Cairo or Giza
