Tour Itinerary

We will pick you up from your Cairo hotel in a private air-conditioned car with your own Egyptologist tour guide to begin your Egyptian Museum & Old Cairo trip by visiting:

The Egyptian Museum

Since its establishment in 1901 in the heart of Cairo, the Egyptian Museum has been home to the most significant and remarkable artifacts of Egyptian history.

Lunch will be provided in a local Cairo restaurant, after which you will join your tour guide for a visit to:

Citadel of Salah El Din

Cairo Citadel is a majestic citadel that served as Egypt’s center of government until the 1860s. Salah El-Din commissioned the construction, which began in 1176 and was completed in 1182. Then, take a tour of:-

Mohamed Ali Mosque

They named the mosque “The Alabaster Mosque” because most of its walls are made of pure alabaster, and they built it between 1830 and 1848. The mosque is a copy of Istanbul’s Blue Mosque.

The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization

The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) is a cutting-edge institution that brilliantly shows Egypt’s historical and cultural treasures. It is the Arab world’s and North Africa’s first museum dedicated to the ancient Egyptian Civilization’s various and rich historical periods, which span over 4000 years.

Finally, we will visit:

Al Muizz Street

Al Muizz Street, a historic 10th century thoroughfare near the Khan el Khalili Bazaar, is a captivating labyrinth filled with magnificent antique Islamic art and unique artifacts.

Bazaar of Khan El Khalili

A vacation to Cairo would be incomplete without a trip to the Khan El-Khalili market, the Middle East’s oldest and most renowned bazaar. They built it around 970 AD, the same year Cairo was founded.

We will return you to your Cairo hotel in a private air-conditioned car after the day. Lunch is included.

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

December 22, 2024

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!
