Your Structured Path Through Antiquity

Phase 1: The Giza Plateau (The Dawn of History)

• Duration: 3 hours.

Phase 2: A Traditional Egyptian Interlude

• The Lunch Break: A curated stop at a local restaurant. Enjoy Grilled Mixed Grill or Fresh Mezze while reflecting on the morning’s desert exploration.

Phase 3: The Old Egyptian Museum (Tahrir Square)

We move from the desert to the “Paris on the Nile” district of downtown Cairo.

• The Ground Floor: A chronological walk through the massive statues of the Old Kingdom, including the famous statue of King Djoser and the limestone triads of Menkaure.
• The Upper Floor: Home to the Tutankhamun galleries, the royal jewelry collection, and the fascinating Fayum portraits.

Phase 4: The Heart of Downtown
