Your Egyptologist guide will pick you up from Cairo airport to start your layover tour
No one can miss the chance of visiting the Great pyramid of Giza and Sphinx. We will bring your dream to reality. Your private Egyptologist guide will be happy to answer all your questions and explain all the history and the mystery of the pyramids. Listen to your guide talking about the Egyptian Pharaohs, gods, goddesses and mythology. Learn about the process of mummification. You will have full time to do some extra activities such as entry to the chambers, visiting the sun boat museum or riding a camel (all upon your request).
Follow your guide steps to show the best spots for taking unique pictures, and then visit the Sphinx and the valley temple where you will learn the story of that massive statue and mummification. After being overwhelmed with what you saw in Giza, now it is time to visit one of the biggest museums in the world. Your Egyptologist guide will explain to you the masterpieces of the Egyptian museum. You will be captivated by the most famous and largest art collection in the world. Some artifacts date back to 5 millennia and more are on display. The treasures found in king Tut Ankh Amun are the top attraction among the exhibits. Your private live guide will give you the chance to have some private free time to explore more of the museum and you may like to visit the royal mummy room (upon your request for extra cost). Have an interesting visit to Khan El Khalili, the biggest and oldest market in Cairo. Follow your Egyptologist steps while walking through the narrow alleys and lanes of the market. Feel the welcoming and warmth of the locals when sitting with your guide and having a drink at the oldest coffee shop in Cairo: EL FISHAWY (1710). Although the market was the best place for shopping and buying authentic Egyptian souvenirs, nowadays hardly you can find those but your guide will give you advice of what to do there. Ask your guide about the bargaining ways in the market for an interesting experience.
At the end of your tour, you will be dropped off back to the airport.
