Overnight trip to the Pyramids From El Quseir by Flight

Start your second day in Cairo with a hearty breakfast at your hotel, preparing for an exciting day filled with history, culture, and architectural beauty.

Your first stop is the Citadel of Saladin, a historical Islamic fortress offering panoramic views of Cairo’s skyline. Built in the 12th century by Sultan Salah ad-Din to defend the city from Crusader forces, the Citadel is an impressive testament to medieval military strategy. Inside the Citadel, you’ll explore the Mohamed Ali Mosque, also known as the Alabaster Mosque due to its gleaming alabaster-covered walls. This stunning Ottoman-style mosque is a key symbol of Cairo’s Islamic heritage, with grand domes and towering minarets that captivate all who visit.

Next, head to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC), which provides an unparalleled view of Egypt’s cultural and historical evolution. The museum houses a vast collection of ancient artifacts, spanning from prehistoric times to modern Egypt. The highlight of the museum is the Royal Mummies Hall, where you can see the preserved remains of some of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs, including Ramses II and Hatshepsut. Your guide will provide fascinating details about the mummification process and its significance in ancient Egyptian funerary practices.

After an enriching visit to the museum, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a selected restaurant, where you can sample dishes such as spiced stews, grilled meats, and freshly baked bread—a true taste of Egypt’s culinary heritage.

If time permits, visit Khan El Khalili Bazaar, Cairo’s most famous marketplace. This bustling bazaar is a maze of narrow alleys filled with stalls selling handmade jewelry, spices, textiles, and unique souvenirs. It’s a fantastic place to experience the vibrant atmosphere of Cairo’s shopping culture and take home mementos of your trip.
