2 Days 1 Night Cairo City Break Excursion

Amazing 2-Day City Break Tour 

Experience an unforgettable two-day, one-night tour in Cairo exploring some of the historical points of interest, such as the Egyptian Museum. The Egyptian Museum is among the earliest museums globally to be founded as a public institution. Unlike the museums that preceded it, the museum includes more than 180,000 artifacts, the most important of which are the archaeological collections found in the tombs of the kings and royal entourage of the Middle Dynasty at Dahshur in 1894. The museum currently houses the largest archaeological collection in the world, expressing all stages of ancient Egyptian history.

After that, we will start another adventure in Cairo, exploring the three Pyramids of Giza, which are considered one of the wonders of the world. The pyramid shape was associated with the idea of the origin of the universe, and they also believed, according to some of their writings and religious texts, that the pyramid was a way to help the soul of the deceased reach heaven with the idol Ra. Sometimes we can see the sun's rays among the clouds also taking the pyramid shape, and it was among these many means that could help them ascend to heaven. Even when the kings of the New Kingdom thought of building their tombs on the western continent, in the Valley of the Kings, and carving them into the mountain to protect them from robbery, they did not abandon the pyramidal form, which was naturally represented at the top of the mountain itself. 

Also with us, you will be able to make some unforgettable memories during your excursion through your visit to Coptic Cairo. It is part of Old Cairo, which includes the Babylon Fortress, the Coptic Museum, the Hanging Church, and the Greek Church of St. George, along with numerous other Coptic churches and historical locations. It is believed in Christian tradition that the Holy Family visited this area and stayed at the site of the Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus (Abu Sarja). Coptic Cairo was a stronghold of Christianity in Egypt before and during the Islamic era, with most of its churches being built after the Islamic conquest of Egypt in the 7th century.

Then we will explore Islamic Cairo, or Cairo of El Moez, also called Historic Cairo or Medieval Cairo, which generally refers to the historic areas of Cairo, particularly the central parts around the old walled city and the Cairo Citadel. The name “Islamic” Cairo does not refer to the greater prominence of Muslims in the area but rather to the city's rich history and heritage since its founding in the early period of Islam. 

As you will be in Cairo, we can't miss the impressive El Moez Street, where you can see many of the markets through which you can buy things that remind you of Egypt, such as the Khan El Khalili Market, which is considered one of the most famous markets in Cairo.
