The first day of your trip will begin with a leisurely pickup from your Cairo or Giza hotel by our Egyptologist guide, who will be with you throughout the day and explore the following:
The Giza Plateau, where we will be able to see the three majestic pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Menkaure, which are the only remaining of the Seven Wonders of the World, where you will have the opportunity to walk through these great buildings, take pictures from the best angles, and possibly enter the Great Pyramid for an exceptional experience (optional), as well as the Sphinx, the silent guardian of 73 metres high, which combines the body of a lion and the head of a human in a symbol of strength and wisdom. The tour guide will tell you the myths and facts associated with these monuments to fully immerseyourself in Pharaonic history.
Then we will continue our tour to the heart of the capital, the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, which houses one of the world's greatest collections of Pharaonic antiquities. You will tour amid more than 120,000 artefacts that tell the story of ancient Egyptian civilisation, from the Stone Age to the Greek and Roman periods, where we can see the mummies of a number of great pharaohs such as Ramses II and Sakhnen Ra, rare statues of Egyptian gods such as Horus, Isis, and Anubis, as well as tools of daily life, jewellery, and mummification tools.
One of Cairo's oldest and most revered neighbourhoods, Coptic Cairo, is where you will explore as the journey comes to an end in the Old Cairo neighbourhood. The tour starts with a stop at:
The Hanging Church is one of Egypt's oldest churches, constructed over an old gate from the Babylonian citadel. It is among the oldest churches in Egypt, with marble columns, stained glass windows, and wooden icons.
Abu Serga Church: It is said that the Holy Family took shelter in this church during their journey to Egypt, and it is one of the holy places in Christianity.
Ben Ezra Synagogue: It is the oldest synagogue in Cairo and is said to be the site of the Cairo Genizah, a huge archive of Jewish manuscripts.
From the grandeur of the pharaohs to the masterpieces of art and antiquities in the Egyptian Museum to the deep spirituality of Coptic Cairo, you will experience a unique historical journey that showcases the best that Egyptian civilisation has to offer through the ages. This trip gives you a comprehensive overview of Egyptian history in its various dimensions – Pharaonic, Roman, and Coptic.
