Itinerary

Day 1: Giza Pyramids, Saqqara, and Dahshur

Uncover the Ancient Wonders of Egypt’s Architectural Evolution

Your Cairo immersion begins at the legendary Giza Plateau, home to the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. The sheer scale and precision of these structures continue to inspire visitors from around the world. Standing face-to-face with the Great Sphinx, you can almost hear the whispers of Egypt’s ancient kings.

Beyond the famous pyramids, the journey continues to Saqqara, the vast necropolis where the Step Pyramid of Djoser forever changed the course of architectural history. Walking through Saqqara’s open desert landscape, you can explore early pyramid designs, mastaba tombs, and underground burial chambers that tell the story of ancient Egypt’s spiritual beliefs.

The day also takes you to Dahshur, where you will visit the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, two essential stops in Egypt’s pyramid-building timeline. Unlike Giza, Dahshur offers a quiet, uncrowded atmosphere, allowing you to explore the pyramids’ interiors and appreciate the transition from early pyramid forms to the perfected smooth-sided structures.

This day sets the foundation for understanding ancient Egyptian innovation, religious symbolism, and the relentless ambition to build structures that would stand forever.

Day 2: The Egyptian Museum, The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), and Coptic Cairo

Explore Egypt’s Richest Collections and Cairo’s Sacred Christian Landmarks

Day two focuses on Egypt’s remarkable collections of art, artifacts, and royal treasures. You will begin at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, where you can walk among the statues, stelae, sarcophagi, and the famous golden artifacts of Tutankhamun. This museum is a visual timeline of Egypt’s Pharaonic glory, filled with pieces that shaped human civilization.

The journey continues to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the newest and most ambitious cultural project in Egypt. Here, you will experience the complete Tutankhamun collection displayed in its entirety for the first time, alongside interactive exhibits and carefully curated galleries that offer a modern approach to exploring ancient history. The GEM’s state-of-the-art layout, combined with its dramatic views of the Giza Plateau, makes it a destination that redefines the museum experience.

In the afternoon, you will step into the peaceful streets of Coptic Cairo, one of the oldest Christian communities in the world. You will visit the Hanging Church, perched above a Roman fortress, and Saint Sergius and Bacchus Church, a sacred site where the Holy Family is believed to have sought refuge. This part of the tour brings you closer to Cairo’s spiritual heart, where centuries of faith are carved into stone and painted into quiet chapels.

Day two offers a profound blend of Egypt’s ancient treasures and its enduring religious heritage, connecting history to the present in a personal and intimate way.

Day 3: Islamic Cairo, Citadel of Saladin, Al-Muizz Street, and a Nile Felucca Ride

Walk Through Islamic Landmarks and Sail the Nile at Sunset

On the final day, you will explore Islamic Cairo, a district where centuries of Islamic architecture, learning, and art come together. The first stop is the Citadel of Saladin, a powerful medieval fortress offering panoramic views over Cairo. Here, you will visit the stunning Mosque of Muhammad Ali, known for its majestic domes, intricate Ottoman design, and sweeping vistas of the city skyline.

The tour then moves into the heart of Islamic Cairo along Al-Muizz Street, one of the most important historical streets in Cairo. Walking through Al-Muizz feels like stepping back into the city’s golden age, where magnificent mosques, Islamic schools, and elaborately decorated buildings line narrow stone alleys. This is Cairo at its most authentic, where you can admire monumental gates, ancient minarets, and preserved medieval architecture at every turn.

Throughout the day, you will also experience Cairo’s lively souks, traditional workshops, and local coffeehouses that still carry the essence of the old city.

The final highlight of the tour is a traditional Nile Felucca ride, offering a peaceful break from the city’s busy streets. Sailing gently on the Nile gives you time to reflect on your journey, surrounded by Cairo’s skyline and the steady rhythm of the river that has nourished Egyptian civilization for millennia. The felucca ride is not just a scenic moment—it’s a connection to the Nile’s timeless presence in the story of Egypt.
