The journey
About this tour
Three days is exactly enough to meet Cairo properly without rushing it. You begin on the Giza plateau in the early morning, before the coaches arrive, with an Egyptologist who can read the walls for you. The afternoon belongs to the Grand Egyptian Museum, where Tutankhamun's collection is displayed in full for the first time.
Day two moves forward a few thousand years into medieval Cairo — the Citadel above the city, the vast Sultan Hassan mosque, and the workshops and spice stalls of Khan el-Khalili. The last day is quieter: Coptic Cairo's churches and the Royal Mummies gallery at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.
Everything is private. The pace, the lunch stops, and the balance between sites and rest are yours to set on the day.
Highlights
- Great Pyramid, Sphinx and a camel ride on the plateau
- Grand Egyptian Museum
- Khan el-Khalili bazaar and historic Muizz Street
- Coptic Cairo: the Hanging Church and Ben Ezra Synagogue

5.0 out of 5Everything ran to the minute and nothing felt rushed. The Grand Egyptian Museum alone justified the trip. One point of contact for the whole three days made it painless.

5.0 out of 5Our guide Mahmoud was an actual Egyptologist and it showed — he read hieroglyphs off the walls for us. Being at the pyramids at 7am before the crowds was worth the early alarm.
