Cairo Day Tour including the Grand Egyptian Museum

Your journey begins early in the morning when our representative meets you at your hotel in Cairo or Giza. Travel in comfort in a modern A/C vehicle with your private Egyptologist guide, who will accompany you throughout the day.

Giza Pyramids Complex:

Begin your exploration at the legendary Giza Pyramids Complex, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the centerpiece of any Cairo sightseeing tour. This iconic plateau includes the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, six smaller pyramids, the mighty Great Sphinx, and the historic Valley Temple—a timeless testament to ancient Egyptian engineering and royal power.

The Great Pyramid of Cheops:

Constructed around 2600 BC, the Great Pyramid of Cheops stands as the largest and most impressive pyramid ever built. Made from approximately 2.3 million limestone blocks weighing a total of more than 6 million tons, the pyramid rises 147 meters high and remains one of humanity’s most extraordinary architectural achievements. It continues to inspire archaeologists, historians, and travelers from all over the world.

The Great Sphinx:

Your tour continues to the iconic Great Sphinx, a monumental guardian of the plateau for more than 4,500 years. Carved from a single massive limestone block, the Sphinx combines the body of a lion with a human face—widely believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre, symbolizing wisdom, strength, and royal authority. This timeless statue remains one of Egypt’s most recognizable landmarks and a must-see during any Giza Pyramids tour.

The Valley Temple:

Constructed during the 4th Dynasty (around 2600 BC), this granite-built temple was used for the purification and mummification rituals of the Pharaoh before burial, preparing him for his journey to the afterlife.

The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM):

Next, visit Egypt’s newest and most anticipated cultural landmark — the Grand Egyptian Museum, located near the pyramids. Inside, explore over 100,000 artifacts spanning 5,000 years of history, including the colossal statue of King Ramses II, the Hanging Obelisk, the Grand Staircase, and the entire collection of King Tutankhamun, showcased with cutting-edge technology.

Afterward, enjoy a delicious lunch at a high-quality local restaurant before continuing your tour.

The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir:

Opened in 1901, this iconic museum houses Egypt’s most important ancient treasures — statues, sarcophagi, papyri, and royal mummies — chronicling more than 4,500 years of civilization. It remains one of Cairo’s most essential stops for every traveler.

Khan El Khalili Bazaar:

End your day with a stroll through Old Cairo’s vibrant bazaar. Dating back to the 10th century, Khan El Khalili is filled with colorful stalls, spices, jewelry, and handmade crafts — the perfect place to experience local life and pick up unique souvenirs.

At the end of your tour, you’ll be comfortably transferred back to your hotel in Cairo or Giza with unforgettable memories of Egypt’s treasures — both ancient and new.
