Itinerary

Welcome to Egypt, you will enjoy a meet and greet service inside the airport to assist you during the entrance procedure. Then, meet your professional tour leader who will be responsible for organizing your schedule during your vacation.

Are you ready to discover the incredible Egypt? Your guide will meet you to start seeing the wonders of the Giza pyramids. Firstly, you will see the Giza plateau consisting of three Pyramids and the great Sphinx. The Giza pyramids are not only royal tombs, they hide hundreds of great discoveries inside and around them.

The pyramids' stones are made of limestone to keep their bodies and their possessions safe, based on the concept of a second life after death. The Egyptian workers were very powerful and clever during the construction process, and they moved the stones believing that the god of the sun was traveling with them in the solar boat.

Let’s see the famous statue of the Great Sphinx, which is one of the most famous statues in Egypt and all over the world, to be visited through Cairo Day Tours to discover this great place. The statue is a reflection of the power and authority of the Egyptian kings. It has been built, revealing the authority and the empowerment of the Egyptian ruling.

There’s a temple in the Giza area that you shouldn’t miss during your tour, which is the Valley Temple. The temple has witnessed a very important event of the pharaonic civilization, which is the process of preparing the dead king or the noble to be mummified to be ready for the second life after death.

Our next step is the Saqqara site: Saqqara is a treasure of Egyptian history where you can find the first pyramid of King Djoser, which was the first trial to build a pyramid on earth. The Saqqara site is one of the most attractive sites during Cairo day tours and Egypt travel packages. In addition, when you visit Saqqara, you can see the Ti Tomb, which is one of the tombs of the Fifth Egyptian Dynasty. Your guide will also accompany you to see the Teti pyramid, who is the founder of the sixth dynasty. When you visit Saqqara, you will find a massive treasure of Egyptian history and information about the Egyptian dynasties that you shouldn’t miss.

Our next visit will be to Memphis City, which is also known as Menf. The city was also the place where the border between Upper and Lower Egypt was drawn. During the Ancient Egyptian Kingdom, Memphis, or Menf, was the capital of Egypt and the administrative headquarters. One of the most impressive monuments that you will see in Memphis is the lying statue of the great King Ramses II. Memphis is a wide, wide-open air museum and very rich with history.

Finally, you will return to your hotel to rest.

Meals: Breakfast, and Lunch

Start your day with a delicious breakfast to be energetic and start seeing the best of Cairo's landmarks. Our representative will accompany you from your hotel lobby to meet your guide to start the first visit to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. It is the second oldest building in Egypt, with a very unique style to keep and display the monuments. The process of building the museum wasn’t a usual process, but it was through an international competition. The museum includes more than 170 thousand pieces that explain the history of Egypt.

Then we will move to see the old Coptic Cairo part, where you can see the vintage and authentic churches of Egypt. Each church in Coptic Cairo has a story behind it, like the Hanging Church of the Virgin Mary. The church exists upon two towers of the Babylon fortress, which was built during the reign of Emperor Trajan.

The church has a very unique and impressive icon and history. Then we will move to Abu Serga church, which is known as one of the stops of the holy family trip in Egypt. The church was built like Noah's ship, which saved the people from the flood. In addition, the church includes columns with the same number of the disciples of Jesus Christ. The wooden parts of the church date back to the third to the fifth century. Historians believe that the church was built upon a cavern where Christ and the Virgin Mary stayed for a while.

Now, we will see the Ben Ezra Synagogue, which has been turned from a Coptic church into a synagogue after being it to collect the amount of money for the imposed tax on the Christians. The synagogue contains the Genizah room, which contains a vast treasure trove of funeral documents from the Middle Ages to the 19th century.

Finally, it’s time to rest and go back to your hotel to spend the night.
