Wonderful Tour to the Egyptian Museum and Cairo Tower

Discover the wonders of ancient and modern Egypt through this magical Day Tour to the Egyptian Antiquities Museum and Cairo Tower. People call Cairo’s central business district and the surrounding region “Cairo the 2nd” because Khedive Ismail constructed them after Cairo’s “Al-Qahira” and almost replaced it in 1869 when he opened the Suez Canal. This tour includes all the sightseeing in this region, which is quite full of things to see and do.

The downtown area is home to stores that offer clothing, leather bags, and shoes, as well as Midan El-Tahrir, Sharia Qasr El-nil, Sharia Talaat Harb, and Egyptian movie theatres.

Cairo Day Trip

My day trip to Cairo was brilliant, and close to the best one-day experience of my life. Hani was an amazing ambassador for his city and country; his wealth of knowledge, courtesy, and good humour was awesome. The itinerary was perfect, I visited most of the famous landmarks as well

You have to experience it to believe it – I promise!

We had a 12 hour layover in Cairo, 5am to 5pm basically, and thanks to reviews on Trip Advisor we decided to take a tour with Egypt Fun Tours. Now, let me preface this by saying that I am a perfectionist, and a very, very honest one too. Ok, here’s
