Breathtaking Cairo Stopover Tour

Upon arrival at Cairo International Airport, a representative from Egypt Tours Group will warmly welcome you and assist with all formalities, including luggage and customs. Your Cairo Layover Tour then begins as you join your expert guide for a seamless journey through the highlights of Cairo City.

Giza Pyramids Complex:

Giza Pyramids Complex is the oldest and only surviving wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built as grand tombs for pharaohs and their treasures.

The site includes the three iconic pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Menkaure, along with the Great Sphinx, the Valley Temple, and six smaller pyramids. Explore this legendary site with your expert guide and uncover the fascinating stories of ancient Egypt.

The Great Pyramid of Cheops:

The Great Pyramid is the largest man-made structure in history and the oldest of the three iconic pyramids at the Giza Plateau. Built around 2600 BC for Pharaoh Cheops (Khufu) of the Old Kingdom, it served as his eternal resting place.

Standing at 147 meters and weighing over six million tons, the pyramid features several inner chambers that continue to amaze visitors with their architectural brilliance.

The Giza Sphinx:

A huge stone statue transformed into an everlasting architectural wonder stands proudly as a guardian of the Giza Necropolis. The Great Sphinx is one of the best-known sculptures in history, which belongs to King Chephren.

What makes it unique is its unfamiliar design as it’s shaping a pharaoh’s head on the body of a lion, so it’s named “Sphinx” after the name of an ancient Greek winged god.

The Valley Temple:

The Valley Temple, built for Pharaoh Chephren, was used for the mummification and purification of the king's body before burial in his pyramid. This site reflects the ancient Egyptians’ deep belief in the afterlife and their sacred funeral rituals.

Khan El Khalili Bazaar:

Khan El Khalili is considered the oldest souk in the Middle East, dating back to 970 AD. Located in the heart of Old Cairo, it has become the city’s most iconic market.

Over the centuries, it has offered a wide range of exotic goods like papyrus, spices, carpets, and traditional crafts. This vibrant bazaar is a must-visit destination to experience Cairo’s rich culture, history, and lively atmosphere.
