At the agreed time, one of our expert guides will be waiting for you in front of your hotel, anywhere in Cairo or Giza, to take you in a modern, air-conditioned car so you can enjoy every moment of this day-long adventure and have an unforgettable experience visiting:
Ibn Tulun Mosque: Ahmed ibn Tulun ordered its construction in 263 AH/877 AD in his new city of Al-Qata'i, which is considered the third mosque built in the capital of Islamic Egypt after the Mosque of Amr ibn al-As in Fustat and the Mosque of Al-Askar. What distinguishes this mosque is that it was built on a rocky hill known as Jabal Yashkur, making it the first suspended mosque built in Egypt. This great architectural edifice was built by the Egyptian Coptic architect Sa'id ibn Katib al-Farghani. In addition, the Ahmed ibn Tulun Mosque is distinguished by its resistance to fire and floodwaters.
The Gayer-Anderson Museum: Known as the House of Crete, this architectural museum is located in Cairo and comprises two historic houses dating back to the Mamluk and Ottoman periods, which have been joined together. English officer Gayer-Anderson restored and furnished the houses with his rare collection of antiquities and art before leaving them to Egypt as a museum. The museum also houses archaeological collections from different eras and civilizations, as well as furniture reflecting the Eastern Islamic style.
The Pyramids of Giza: One of Egypt's most famous archaeological sites, it includes the pyramids of the Fourth Dynasty kings Khufu, his son Khafre, and his grandson Menkaure, as well as the famous Sphinx. Each of the kings' pyramids had a pyramid complex that included the pyramids of the queens, a small pyramid considered to be the king's ideological pyramid, and a valley temple from which a path ascends, its sides engraved with scenes of daily life, leading to an upper temple known as the funerary temple, where priests performed funeral rites and burial rituals for the deceased king inside those temples. The area previously contained Khufu's boats, known as the Sun Boats, which were recently moved to the Grand Egyptian Museum for display when it opened, but the area still retains the pits where these boats were stored.
At the end of the day, we will transfer you back to your hotel.
