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.

Tour Itinerary

Transportation to and from any hotel in Cairo or Giza. Visit the Egyptian Museum, Downtown Cairo, the Cairo Tower, and the Opera House neighborhood. Return to the hotel by transfer. The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities keeps more than 120,000 artifacts from ancient Egypt, including King Tut’s gold hoard. 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.

Very Considerate and Helpful

Guide and driver were on time, open to my requests and took care that I felt safe and saw the Pyramids and parts of old cairo during my less than 24 hour stay between flights. Office staff were great in communicating by email before and during the trip.

Egypt Fun Tours – Valley of Whales Day Trip – AMAZING EXPERIENCE

My family and I were visiting Egypt for only 5 days, so we contact Egypt Fun Tours to see what they could suggest we can do for one day. Fortunately, after looking at their website, they had a category with EXACTLY what we needed – Cairo Day Tours! Given that

You’re in “GREAT HANDS” with Egypt Fun Tours!

We first went to Egypt in July 2010. We were to pass through Cairo on our way to Africa, and we had arranged to be picked up from the Cairo airport and shown around the city during our 6-hour layover. This was arranged through emails with Hamada, of Egypt Fun

AMAZING Layover Tour

We had the MOST amazing layover tour with Egypt Fun Tours. Hanni was amazing, and we loved every moment. Pyramids, authentic food, and Islamic Cairo – amazing!

A great day!!!!

Thank you Hamada for an incredible day! Thank you for the stories and the history, you are so knowledgeable and we didn’t feel rushed at all or like we missed out on things, will definitely be recommending this tour to everyone 🙂

Pyramids in the Mist, Egypt Adventure

Our long drive from Cairo turned into a terrifying flight through Alexandria’s impossibly crowded streets. Our minivan miraculously avoided hitting pedestrians, donkey carts, and old Lada cars. We arrived at the port gates with only 10 minutes to spare. But the guards ignored our U.S. passports, and they refused to
