Pyramids and Old Cairo Layover Trip from Cairo Airport

We have designed for you a trip that combines Pharaonic, Coptic and Islamic. From Cairo Airport, our team will be present. A representative will complete your procedures inside. After that, our driver will take you to the Pyramids area. Upon arrival, you will meet your guide who speaks fluent English to visit the Pyramid of Khufu, the owner of the largest tomb in history. Learn about the funerary rituals before burial for the Pharaohs and other interesting information.

After that you will visit the pyramid of King Khafre. King Khafre is one of the most famous ancient kings engraved in the memory of new generations of descendants, due to his association with an important monument left by the ancestors, as Khafre built the second pyramid at Giza. The second of the three Giza pyramids was not the only archaeological wonder he left us, but there is another treasure embodied in a statue of the king made of green diorite.

You will visit the Pyramid of Menkaure and discover the pyramids adjacent to it. Three smaller pyramids can be seen next to the Pyramid of Menkaure; these pyramids were used to bury the queens of his reign. However, his own pyramid has not yet been discovered.

From this Pharaonic tour, you will discover another era, the Islamic era, where you will have the opportunity to visit the Citadel of Saladin, one of the oldest military fortresses built in the Middle Ages.

The last era we'll be discussing today is the Coptic era, where you will visit two very important churches: the Hanging Church, which is close to the Mosque of Amr ibn al-As, demonstrating religious tolerance in Egypt, and the Church of Abu Serga, where the Holy Family stayed during their flight, and which contains the cave of the Flight near the sanctuary.
