Upon arrival at Cairo Airport, you will be met by your private Egyptologist guide, who will accompany you throughout your day of exploration.
Explore the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx
Start your tour with a visit to the Giza Pyramids, one of the most iconic and recognized sites in the world. These ancient tombs were built more than 4,500 years ago for the powerful Pharaohs of ancient Egypt.
Your guide will take you through the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Pyramid of Chephren, and the Pyramid of Mykerinus, offering insight into the history, construction, and significance of these monumental structures.
As you stand in awe of these ancient marvels, you’ll learn how they were built with unparalleled precision using limestone blocks and granite stones.
The highlight of the pyramids is undoubtedly the Great Sphinx, an incredible stone sculpture with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, thought to represent King Chephren.
This imposing figure has stood guard over the pyramids for centuries, and you will have the chance to learn its fascinating history and legends.
Visit the Papyrus Institute
After the pyramids, you will head to the Papyrus Institute to discover how the ancient Egyptians created the first form of paper—papyrus.

You’ll have the chance to taste traditional Egyptian dishes like koshari, stuffed grape leaves, and grilled meats while soaking in the breathtaking scenery of the pyramids in the background.
Visit the Egyptian Museum
Next, you will visit the world-famous Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, home to an unparalleled collection of ancient Egyptian treasures.
The museum houses over 250,000 artifacts, showcasing the art, culture, and history of ancient Egypt. Marvel at the Tutankhamun exhibit, which includes the iconic golden mask and other treasures from the boy king’s tomb.
Your guide will provide fascinating insights into the objects on display, explaining their significance in ancient Egyptian society.
The museum also houses statues, jewelry, mummies, and sacred objects that span over 5,000 years of Egyptian history, giving you a glimpse into the life and times of the Pharaohs.
If you’re particularly interested in the royal mummies, you can opt to visit the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, where several well-preserved mummies of Egypt’s greatest rulers are on display (this option comes with an additional cost).
Explore the Khan El Khalili Bazaar
No trip to Cairo is complete without exploring the bustling Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest and most famous markets in Egypt.
Wander through narrow alleys lined with stalls selling a dazzling array of traditional Egyptian goods, including handmade jewelry, spices, copperware, perfumes, and textiles.
It’s the perfect place to pick up unique souvenirs and gifts, all while immersing yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of this historic market. The bazaar is a great place to practice your bargaining skills and experience the local culture.
