Khedival Cairo Tour: Opera House, downtown, and Cairo Tower

A wonderful Cairo downtown tour from your hotel. We will explore and experience the Khedival Cairo area and downtown. It was built by Khedive Ismael, the grandson of Mohamed Ali. Notably, this lovely section of Cairo was crafted by European architects. Khedive Ismail commissioned them to construct a European-looking region in honor of the inauguration of the Suez Canal in 1869.

Furthermore, the Cairo Opera House is one of the highlights of this tour. It allows you to appreciate the beauty of the building. Additionally, we see the Cairo Tower and the majestic Nile River. Moreover, walking downtown is also a fascinating experience, as it allows you to observe young Egyptians shopping for clothes, leather shoes and bags, and branded electronics.

About Cairo Downtown

This Cairo downtown tour is unique. Moreover, Khedival Cairo, also known as Downtown Cairo or Wust al-Balad, is a district in Cairo, Egypt, located between historic Medieval Cairo and the Nile. Officially, the name of the area is Khedival Cairo, for its rich architectural heritage from Khedive Ismail’s era, featuring designs by French architects.

Today, Khedival Cairo is a protected area extending south to Sayida Zeinab, with many buildings recognized as protected. Consequently, this area is a popular tourist destination due to its historical and cultural significance

4 Days Group Tour Across the Treasures of Cairo Egypt Fun Tours min 1

Point blank: taking a tour w/ Egypt Fun Tours was the absolute best decision I could’ve made!

I found this company (thanks Trip Advisor!) very last minute and was so happy to read the great reviews. Reaching out to this company was a no-brainer, despite the fact that I’d done so a few hours before my flight to Egypt. Even better was that Hamada responded via WhatsApp

Outstanding layover tour

I had the opportunity to do a layover tour with Egypt Fun Tours this Friday, and it was amazing. I had a 10-hour layover tour in Cairo, and I was met by Mohamed on time at the airport. He picked me up in a clean, new, safe, and comfortable van.

Outstanding! The absolute best way to see and do as much as you can in a short amount of time.

A friend and I had one day to spend in Cairo. Egypt Fun Tours–and tour guide Hani–came highly recommended by another friend who used them on a long layover. We were extremely impressed. For only about US$100, two people had a guide, driver, and car to ourselves for an entire

Hani Was our Awesome Tour Guide!

We had an 11-hour layover in Cairo on 12/15/2011. We wanted to go to see the Pyramids, Tahrir Square, and possibly the museum. We were so lucky to have a guide, Hani from Egypt Fun Tour, who made it possible to see all the above, plus the Bazaar, and time
