En İyi Mısır ve Nil Lüks Turu

Your tasty breakfast will be offered in the hotel's main restaurant before you meet your special tour guide, who will lead you on your first Cairo tour to the pyramids of Giza, which were built 4500 years ago.

Start your sightseeing at the Great Pyramid of Cheops, which took more than 20 years to build, then move on to the pyramids of the kings Chephren and Mycerinus, which are related to the same dynasty. You will then see the famous Sphinx, the man-headed lion who guarded the Necropolis for 450 years. Now we'll head to the plateau to get a full view of the pyramids and capture amazing photographs while enjoying a camel ride in the Pyramids of Giza (an optional activity) before being taken to the Valley Temple of King Chephren, which was dedicated to the Pharaoh's mummification process and is made of granite from Aswan and tiled with beautiful white alabaster. Your tour guide and private driver will then take you to enjoy a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, which includes the largest and most precious collection of Egyptian artifacts in the world, especially the royal treasure that was found intact, the collection of the Golden Pharaoh Tutankhamen, whose tomb in the Valley of the Kings was found in 1922 by the famous English archaeologist Howard Carter.

Afterward, the tour continues to Coptic Cairo to visit the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon, the Hanging Church, which was built suspended from its ancient towers in an excellent position, and the church of St. Sergius, which is also renowned for its beauty. Sergius, which is also known as the Church of the Cave or the Church of the Holy Family, is built over the crypt where the Holy Family waited for almost 3 months by the well from which they obtained their water reserves. Your tour of Coptic Cairo extends until we visit the Ben Ezra Synagogue, believed to be the site of the castle where Moses's ark was pulled from the Nile by the pharaoh's daughter.

After lunch, you will be taken to the area of Islamic Cairo to see the walls and gates of the medieval city founded by the Fatimid leader Badr Al Gamali and the old, narrow streets of colorful stores dating back to the 10th century. You'll go all the way to have mint tea in Al-Fishawy (one of the oldest coffee shops in Khan El Khalili Bazaar) during your travels to Islamic Cairo.
