4-Day Christmas Tour in Cairo

Following a restful night's sleep, you will have breakfast at the hotel before beginning your tour of the Giza Pyramids. 

The Giza Pyramids complex is situated in the Giza Necropolis, which is a location in Greater Cairo, Egypt. On day trips, you can discover more about the Great Sphinx of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren), the Pyramid of Menkaure (Mecerinus), and the Pyramid of Giza (Cheops Pyramid), as well as the pyramid complexes that are related to them. After having the opportunity to take an optional camel ride around the Giza Pyramids, we will visit the Valley Temple.

Proceed with the journey to Saqqara, where you may witness the earliest stone pyramid in history, King Djoser's Step Pyramid from the third dynasty, and King Teti's Pyramid from the sixth dynasty, which has the tomb of Kagemni among the nobles' graves in front of it.

After enjoying a delicious lunch at one of the most exquisite restaurants with views of the sphinx and the pyramids, embark on an exciting one-hour quad bike tour around the Giza Pyramids. After a brief instruction session to learn how to operate the bike, you will meet a Bedouin guide to start the tour, and then return to the hotel for the night.

Lunch and breakfast are served.

You will begin your Cairo city tour with an orientation to the Grand Egyptian Museum when you meet your Egyptologist guide after breakfast. The Grand Egyptian Museum, which houses over 120,000 items from various eras, is open for exploration for two hours in the well-known Tahrir Square. Enjoy being in awe of the glittering treasures discovered in King Tutankhamun's tomb at the Valley of the Kings in 1922, which reveal his new realm.

To begin your Coptic Cairo trip, proceed to the Old Cairo neighborhood. There, you will see the site of the Roman fortification of Babylon, which is largely destroyed now, but for the foundation upon which the Hanging Church of the Holy Virgin Mary was erected and suspended between two fortress towers. See the ancient Synagogue of Ben Ezra as well as the Cavern Church of St. Serius, which was originally a Christian church before being purchased by Ben Ezra, a wealthy Jewish man.

After checking into your hotel, you'll get ready for your opulent dinner cruise along the Nile in Cairo. After your tour guide transfers you to the cruise boat on the Nile corniche, you will board it for a two-hour supper buffet with Egyptian cuisine and entertainment, including belly dancers and a Tanoura dance show.

Return to the hotel for the night.
