Your half-day adventure will commence with your hotel pickup in Cairo at a set time by an expert local guide. Your first visit is to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC). It is one of the most modern and comprehensive museums in Egypt; here you will be taken through Egypt's long history prehistory to the present, but with a special focus on the Royal Mummies Hall with preserved remains of ancient pharaohs, such as Ramses II and Hatshepsut. Your guide will help you explore some of those key exhibits and bring ancient Egypt to life- through wonderful stories and insights.
Once you've soaked in all that history, you'll now take some time to unwind on a felucca ride on the Nile. Hop onto your traditional wooden sailboat, and drift down the waters amidst stunning views of Cairo's skyline-the serene atmosphere vastly contrasting the bustling city. This tranquil experience sits perfectly opposite that of the museum and grants you much-needed time to just soak up the beauty and rhythm of life along the Nile.
Followed by either refreshments or a quick snack from a nearby eatery (or not; it remains optional), your guide will have you escorted back to your hotel in comfort. This half-day tour is perfect for travelers in search of merging culture with relaxation, offering a well-balanced introduction to Cairo's ancient heritage and natural beauty within just a few hours.
