A five-day Christmas tour in Cairo from Canada

The Great Pyramids of the Giza Plateau, which are located ten miles south of downtown Cairo on the outskirts of this metropolitan area, are one of Egypt's most famous landmarks. We will see them today after breakfast at the hotel. With its three Great Pyramids, the oldest and greatest of which is nearly 4,000 years old, Cheops is one of the last remaining wonders of the ancient world. Menkaura (Mycerinus) is the smallest, while Khafre (Chephren) is the only one whose top is still covered with the original stone. The Pyramids entrance can be arranged at an additional expense, albeit it is not for everyone.

Almost fully carved from a single piece of limestone, the mysterious Sphinx stands at the base of the Great Pyramids. It is among the most frequently photographed historical sites worldwide. Your tour of the Great Pyramids of Giza will undoubtedly rank among your most memorable experiences while in Cairo.

After that, carry on with your Cairo day trips to the Saqqara region, which is around 27 kilometers southwest of Cairo. You will see the Step Pyramid, also called the Djoser Pyramid, as you get to Saqqara. The pyramid is the first stone structure in history and is regarded as a crucial component of the pyramid's growth, having evolved from a basic mastaba to its well-known form.

Next, take a journey to Memphis City, which was the ancient Egyptian capital during the unification of the two countries. There, you can see the enormous statue of Ramses II and the magnificent Sphinx made of alabaster. After a delicious lunch at one of Cairo's top restaurants, your journey to Cairo will come to an end as you are driven back to your hotel.

There is an optional Cairo Nile food Cruise that offers food, transportation, belly dancing, and a Tanoura dance performance.
Spend the night in your hotel.

Lunch and breakfast are served.

After breakfast at the hotel, take a private car to Cairo's downtown to start your sightseeing. Visit the Grand Egyptian Museum first, which is situated in the well-known Tahrir Square, to begin your tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum. The world's greatest and most precious collection of Egyptian artifacts, spanning five millennia, is on exhibit. There are more than 120,000 works of art on display, including an exhibition devoted to the gold and jewelry collection that Tutankhamun kept in his tomb for more than 3,500 years before Howard Carter eventually found it in 1922.

Next, take a tour of Cairo's historic district. Egypt was among the first nations to adopt Christianity. We'll proceed to the Hanging Church, the Church of Abu Serga, and the historic Jewish Ben Ezra Synagogue.

After savoring the delicious Egyptian meal, you will be driven back to your hotel. At night, there is an optional Sound and Light performance at the Giza Pyramids.

Lunch and breakfast are served.

Now, proceed to the Citadel of Saladin, which has impressive walls and towers. You will see the citadel and its alabaster mosque, which was built in the 12th century by the renowned Muslim Sultan Saladin Al Ayyubi to protect Cairo from attacks. Mohamed Ali, the founder of modern Egypt, founded the mosque in 1805.

After a delicious lunch, continue your day journey to Khan El Khalili Bazaar, a district that comes to life at night and during the day. Here, you may take a walking tour of the city and indulge in the best tea-mint at one of the neighborhood cafés.

Return to the Cairo hotel and spend the night there.

Lunch and breakfast are served.

After eating breakfast at the hotel, you will be driven to the airport, where your tour guide will help you board your aircraft back home.

We hope your 5-Day Cairo Christmas Tour was enjoyable.
