Fantastische Tour nach Kairo, in die Weiße Wüste und zur Bahariya-Oase

Experience the most thrilling trip of your life with our top-rated Cairo Tour, the Cairo Day Tour to Sakkara and Dahshur Pyramids. Your knowledgeable Egyptologist guide will meet you at Saqqara Necropolis and chauffeur you there in an opulent private vehicle. This is the Site of the largest and most famous Step Pyramid of the Pharaoh Djoser. It dominates the necropolis and is visible from every angle.

The pyramid was constructed circa 2650 BC by the esteemed architect of Imhotep's former dynasty. According to legend, it was his idea to raise the classical Egyptian tomb above its original rectangular mastaba shape. He ordered that mastaba be piled upon mastaba.

You will visit another neighboring necropolis that was called Dahshur, where additional pyramids stand proudly as a reminder that the past of ancient Egypt was replete with magnificent Kings and Rulers.

There are pyramids on the rocky plateau of Dahshur that date back to the 4th, 12th, and 13th dynasties. Compared to other pyramids in the area, the Red Pyramid of King Senefru and the Bent Pyramid are in better condition. You will have lunch in a nearby restaurant during your Cairo Day Tours before being driven back to your accommodation.
When you arrive at Cairo International Airport, your tour guide welcomes you. He will help you with the necessary tasks at the airport. He then drives you to an opulent, air-conditioned car where he will assist you in safely checking into your hotel. After you check in, he will go over the schedule for your 7-day vacation package with you to confirm the pick-up times for each tour and activity.

Meals: Breakfast and lunch

Our tour guide will pick you up in the morning at your hotel in Cairo or Giza to start your daily day trips to Cairo. Enter the Salah El Din Citadel and the Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque to begin your Coptic and Islamic Cairo tour. For a long time, Egypt's capital was located here.

The Citadel of Saladin was built by the well-known Muslim leader Salah Al-Din circa 1176 A.D. It is an example of Ottoman architecture in Cairo, having been modeled after the famous Blue Mosque of Sultan Ahmed in Istanbul. 

You will be taken to another historic site nearby to see the Mamluk mosque and Madrasas of Sultan Hassan, the mosque of Ibn Tulun, which is the oldest mosque still standing in Africa, and the Islamic complex in Cairo that historians have dubbed the pyramid of Islamic architecture.

The Sultan Hassan Mosque-Madrassa is a sizable mosque and madrassa that was constructed in Egypt's Old City during the Mamluk Islamic era. When the mosque was first built, it was praised for its remarkable size and avant-garde architectural features. Al-Maqrizi wrote that an-Nasir Hasan, a sultan with a brief and unremarkable history, had ordered the mosque's construction and that it housed various "wonders of construction".

Large mosques and madrassas in the Old City of Cairo, which is known as the Sultan Hassan Mosque-Madrassa, were built during the Mamluk Islamic period in Egypt. The mosque's enormous size and avant-garde architectural features made it special when it was first constructed. According to al-Maqrizi, the mosque was approved by the ephemeral and unimpressive Sultan an-Nasir Hasan, and featured several "wonders of architecture." We will take you back to your hotel so you can rest there.

The next stop, Black Desert, is a little to the north of White Desert and comes after the Bahariya Oasis.
