Relaxing 5-Day Cairo Holiday

As the day begins with a perfect Breakfast,  and start your venture to Saqqara, a necropolis that stands as a testament to Egypt's rich history. Explore the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest pyramid in Egypt, surrounded by a complex of tombs and mastabas. Your expert guide, an integral part of your tour, unveils the mysteries and stories of this archaeological treasure.

After that take your lunch and travel to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. Marvel at the colossal statues, including the iconic statue of Ramses II, as you stroll through this open-air museum. Your journey through Memphis City, intricately woven into your Cairo Short Breaks Trips, offers a glimpse into the grandeur of an era long past.

As the day unfolds, the grandeur continues with a visit to the Giza Plateau. Witness the awe-inspiring Giza Pyramids—Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos—monolithic structures that have stood the test of time. Behold the enigmatic Sphinx, guarding these ancient wonders with an air of mystique. Your day culminates with the mesmerizing sound and light show at the pyramids, a magical experience that brings history to life.

After your tours of Cairo are ended, return to the hotel and spend the night there.

After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, head to the Grand Egyptian Museum, which houses the world's largest collection of Egyptian artifacts and sculptures, as well as the first royal treasure found intact in Luxor—the Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh Tutankhamen. 

Next, visit some of the city's ancient churches, such as the Church of St. Sergius, which houses the crypt that the Holy Family used during their journey through Egypt, and the Hanging Church of the Holy Virgin Mary, which was built suspended above two towers of the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon. 

Finally, head to the oldest synagogue in Old Cairo, the Ben Ezra Synagogue, which was once a Christian church.

Enjoy a delicious lunch before being taken to the well-known Khan El-Khalili market to enjoy a shopping tour of the city. While you're there, your tour guide will show you some fascinating buildings from the early Islamic era of Cairo, including those on Al-Moez Street. You can also enjoy a tea mint or a special fresh mango juice while observing the street life and vendors in the Al Hussein area.
