A Cairo Top Tours representative will be waiting for you at the agreed time upon your arrival at the airport and, once you arrive in the land of the pharaohs, will take you in a private air-conditioned car to enjoy every moment of your tour.
Your day begins with a meeting with one of our expert guides, who will accompany you on your tour, starting with a visit to Abdeen Palace, one of Egypt's most famous historical palaces. It witnessed many events from the royal era to the rise of modern Cairo, and Abdeen Palace is a rare historical masterpiece in the way it was converted into a museum that reflects the grandeur with which the palace was built and the important events it witnessed from the royal era to the July 1952 revolution. The name of the palace goes back to Abdeen Bey, one of the military commanders of the time of Muhammad Ali Pasha, who owned a small palace on the site of the present one, so Ismail bought it from his widow and demolished it to annex large land and proceed with the construction of this palace.
Cairo Top Tours offers you the chance to experience the splendor of Abdeen Palace, regarded as the gem of the 19th century, which saw numerous events that helped create Egypt as an independent state, during our half-day trip of Cairo, which departs from the airport. This palace saw 90 years of social and political upheavals between its founding in 1863 and the 1952 revolution. According to history, Khedive Ismail was asked by French Emperor Napoleon III to represent Egypt in the Universal Exhibition in 1867, which was then taking place in Paris, the French capital.
After your half-day tour to Cairo is over, return to Cairo International Airport. The tour guide will suggest some of the greatest spots in Cairo if you ask him if you would like to pause for lunch or even just a snack.
