At your Alexandria hotel, a representative from Cairo Top Tours with a knowledgeable guide will be ready to transport you in a private, air-conditioned vehicle to begin one of the excursions to Cairo's renowned museums from Alexandria.
You start your day with an amazing tour of the Egyptian Museum, one of the earliest museums in the world to open to the public. The museum now has the largest archaeological collection in the world, representing all periods of ancient Egyptian history. It has more than 180,000 artifacts, unlike its predecessors. The most significant of these are the archaeological collections discovered in the tombs of the Middle Dynasty kings and royal entourage at Dahshur in 1894.
Your second destination will be the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, located on 33.5 acres in the Fustat neighborhood of Cairo. The museum's 50,000 objects, which include models, photographs, manuscripts, oil paintings, artifacts, and antiquities from the Stone Age, Pharaonic, Greek, Roman, Coptic, Arab, Sudanese, and modern eras, document the stages of Egyptian civilization's development and describe the accomplishments of an Egyptian man in various fields from the beginning of time to the present. A natural lake, Lake Ain al-Sira, is visible from the museum grounds.
We will conclude our excursion with an impressive visit to one of the most amazing palaces in Cairo, the Abdeen Palace. The palace is a rare historical masterpiece that reflects the luxury with which it was built and the important events it witnessed from the days of the royal era until the July 23 Revolution. The palace is considered one of the most important and famous palaces built during the reign of the Muhammad Ali Pasha family in Egypt and was the seat of government from 1872 to 1952.
After enjoying a delicious lunch at one of Cairo's local restaurants, our driver and guide will return you to your Alexandria hotel at the end of this exciting day.
