Take a leisurely tour of Cairo’s most iconic sites with Your Egypt Tours. Explore the Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), and the bustling Khan el-Khalili Bazaar in a single day with your expert Egyptologist guide. One of the key benefits of this private tour is the flexibility to decide how much time to spend at each attraction.
Your day begins with a fascinating introduction to the three Giza Pyramids—Cheops, Khafre, and Menkaure. You’ll have the option to enter one of the pyramids (additional cost), though your guide cannot accompany you inside. A short drive across the plateau brings you face-to-face with the Sphinx, Egypt’s enigmatic and enduring symbol.
While in Giza, you may also choose to visit the Solar Boat Museum (optional, additional cost), home to Khufu’s remarkably well-preserved funerary boat. Next, explore the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to over 50,000 ancient artifacts. The priceless treasures of King Tutankhamun take center stage, from his legendary gilded coffins to his iconic golden mask. Your guide will introduce the museum’s highlights before giving you time to explore independently.
The tour concludes at Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, where you can wander the maze of lively alleyways, bargain for unique souvenirs, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere. You will also visit a Papyrus Institute, where skilled artisans demonstrate the traditional process of crafting this famous ancient artwork.
