Your full-day adventure to Cairo begins in the morning. We will pick you up from your accommodation in Makadi Bay by bus. Upon arrival in Cairo, you will meet your private tour guide. Get ready to explore the incredible treasures of ancient Egyptian civilization!
Giza Pyramids Complex
First, you’ll discover the magnificent Giza Pyramids Complex. This incredible site has stood strong for over 4,000 years, preserving the massive Giza pyramids, the Valley Temple, and the Sphinx in remarkable condition. Witness their enduring power against the sands of time.
The Great Pyramid
Next, marvel at The Great Pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu. This massive royal tomb was built in 2580 BC over 20 years, reaching an impressive height of 147 meters (481 ft). Its complex interior structure was created from 2,300,000 limestone bricks by 100,000 free laborers. This colossal effort ensured the Great Pyramid remains the only intact wonder of the Seven Wonders of the World.
The Great Sphinx
Then, stand before The Great Sphinx, an enormous ancient monument guarding the King Khafre Pyramid complex. Shaped like a mythical creature with a human face and a lion’s body, it stands 73 meters (240 feet) tall and 19 meters (66 feet) wide.
The Valley Temple
Finally, explore The Valley Temple, one of Egypt’s most complete and preserved ancient buildings. Since the Old Kingdom (2686–2134 BC), ancient Egyptians used the mummification technique, performed within this temple, to ensure their names lived on through eternity.
After a morning of exploration, you will enjoy lunch at a restaurant with a splendid view of either the Pyramids or the Nile. Following lunch, your Cairo tour continues with another special visit.
The Egyptian Museum
Dive into history at The Egyptian Museum, located in the heart of Cairo. This incredible institution houses over 150,000 pieces, including golden artifacts, wooden items, and sculptures dating back more than 3,500 years. Among its most popular attractions are the dazzling treasures of Tutankhamun.
Khan El Khalili Market
Finally, immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Khan El Khalili Market. Shopping along the Middle East’s “golden brick road,” under the mesmerizing light of Islamic Egypt, offers a unique experience. This bustling bazaar, active since 970 AD, allows all visitors to admire magnificent examples of Islamic architecture and discover miraculous, unique products.
After your enriching day, you’ll head to the bus terminal. From there, you will take a bus back to your accommodation in Makadi Bay, concluding your full-day bus tour of Cairo.
