Explore the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx
Begin your Cairo adventure with a visit to the world-famous Giza Pyramids—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. These awe-inspiring structures were built as tombs for the Pharaohs more than 4,500 years ago. You’ll explore the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Pyramid of Chephren, and the Pyramid of Mykerinus, marveling at their grandeur and historical significance.
Don’t miss the Great Sphinx, an enigmatic limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a Pharaoh. This remarkable monument has captivated visitors for centuries, and its sheer scale and mystery will leave you in awe. Your guide will also take you to the Valley Temple of Chephren, an important site for ancient Egyptian embalming rituals.
Visit the Papyrus Institute
Next, head to the Papyrus Institute where you’ll learn about the fascinating process the ancient Egyptians used to make papyrus—the first form of paper.
This plant-based writing material played a crucial role in Egyptian history, and you’ll see firsthand how it’s made. The institute also offers beautiful papyrus artworks, so if you’re looking for unique souvenirs, this is the perfect place to purchase one-of-a-kind pieces of art.

Visit the Egyptian Museum
Following lunch, head to the renowned Egyptian Museum located in Tahrir Square. This world-class museum houses over 250,000 artifacts from the ancient Egyptian era, including the legendary treasures of King Tutankhamun.
The museum offers a deep dive into the history of the Pharaohs, with priceless items such as Tutankhamun’s golden death mask, jewelry, and royal tomb treasures.
Your guide will explain the historical context of these pieces, offering fascinating insights into Egypt’s ancient civilization.
For an additional fee, you can also visit the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, which houses the royal mummies of famous Pharaohs like Ramses II and Seti I—perfect for those eager to learn more about Egypt’s dynastic rulers.
