Your first stop will be the world-famous Giza Pyramids, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that includes the Great Pyramid of Giza, Pyramid of Khafre, and Pyramid of Menkaure.

Citadel of Saladin, Mohamed Ali Mosque, and Khan El Khalili Bazaar
After breakfast, your private guide will take you on a journey through Cairo’s Islamic Cairo and historical landmarks.
Your day begins with a visit to the Citadel of Saladin, a medieval Islamic fortress built in the 12th century. This remarkable fortification offers sweeping views of Cairo and was once the seat of power for Egypt’s rulers.
Next, explore the Mohamed Ali Mosque, also known as the Alabaster Mosque, built between 1830 and 1848. This Ottoman-style mosque is renowned for its striking white alabaster walls and large dome, offering panoramic views of Cairo. It is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.
Continue your exploration at the famous Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest and most vibrant markets in the Middle East. Stroll through narrow alleyways filled with spices, perfumes, jewelry, and traditional Egyptian crafts. This bustling market is a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience Cairo’s rich culture and history.
After a delicious local lunch, enjoy some free time at the bazaar before heading back to your hotel for another night in Cairo.

Memphis , Sakkara , Dahshur and the red pyramid
On the final day of your tour, after breakfast, you’ll explore the fascinating archaeological sites south of Cairo.
Start with a visit to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt founded around 3100 BC. It was the center of power for Egypt’s first kings and served as a vital location for controlling Upper and Lower Egypt. Explore the open-air museum, home to impressive statues of Ramses II and other ancient artifacts.
Next, visit Sakkara, the site of the Step Pyramid of Djoser, one of the oldest stone structures in Egypt. Built during the 3rd Dynasty, this pyramid marks a significant milestone in the development of Egyptian pyramid construction. It is the precursor to the smooth-sided pyramids found at Giza.
Continue to Dahshur, a pyramid field located 40 kilometers south of Giza. Here you’ll find the Bent Pyramid, famous for its unique shape, and the Red Pyramid, one of Egypt’s best-preserved early pyramids. These structures, built by King Sneferu, represent an essential step in the evolution of pyramid design.
After exploring these ancient wonders, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant before heading back to Soma Bay in your private vehicle. You’ll arrive in the evening, completing your unforgettable 3-day Cairo tour.
