Cairo Museums Day Tour itinerary

After breakfast at your hotel, one of our knowledgeable tour guides will pick you up and transport you to some of the museums in Cairo, among them to start our magical tours to:

The Egyptian Antiquities Museum: The Egyptian Museum, or The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, located in Cairo, Egypt, is the oldest archaeological museum in the Middle East and one of the largest and most important museums of ancient history in the world.

The museum has a vast collection of Pharaonic antiquities, including items from Tutankhamun’s tomb, showcasing Egypt’s rich history and culture. Founded in 1858 by French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette, it features about 120,000 items, though only a small fraction is on display due to space limitations, covering periods from prehistoric Egypt to the Roman era.

It is a popular destination for tourists interested in history and archaeology.

The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization:

The museum showcases the rich and diverse history of Egyptian civilization from prehistoric times to the present. As the first of its kind in Egypt and the Arab world, it provides a comprehensive look at the art, culture, and daily life of ancient Egyptians.

The Coptic Museum, located in Coptic Cairo, Egypt, is home to the world’s largest collection of Coptic Christian artifacts. Established in 1908, it showcases a diverse array of Coptic art, including textiles, icons, manuscripts, and stonework.

It’s a must-visit for those interested in Egypt’s history and Coptic Christianity, offering insight into the nation’s rich cultural heritage. The Coptic Museum is currently open daily to visitors and offers guided tours and educational programs.

Amazing tour to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur

January 1, 2025

This week we had a great tour with Mohamed to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur as well as Memphis. He tailored the tour to our preferences, took a lot of time with us and gave us detailed background information on everything. It was also great that he never tired of taking the time to answer our many questions.

You can definitely tell that he has studied Egyptology as he has a very deep understanding of the subject and can explain everything well. He also speaks perfect English and is really good driver.

We would definitely book a tour with him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone. 🙂

Amazing Egypt Fun Tours

Highly Recommend Egypt Fun Tours!

Several weeks ago, I reached out to Egypt Fun Tours regarding a 9-hour layover in Cairo. From the very beginning, Hani Ahmed was responsive and professional, quickly providing a well-organized itinerary tailored to our limited time. The itinerary included a visit to the pyramids, other historical sites, a delicious dinner, and even a quick stop for souvenir shopping.

Upon arrival, Gilman efficiently assisted us in obtaining our day tourist visas (note: $25 per person in cash). She then introduced us to our guide, Mydo, who was absolutely phenomenal! Mydo’s knowledge, friendly demeanor, and ability to adjust the tour to our pace made the experience unforgettable.

We returned to the airport with plenty of time to relax before our flight. The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and incredibly memorable. Egypt Fun Tours offers reasonable prices for a private, customized experience that truly exceeds expectations. Thank you, Egypt Fun Tours! We will definitely use your services again in the future.

Alexandria! Wow!

November 7, 2024

Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!
