You will leave from your hotel in Cairo and travel to the Giza Plateau, a journey time of around minutes and arrive at the home of the Great Pyramids and Sphinx. Your Egyptologist guide will introduce you to each of the 3 pyramids from the outside and you will have time to enter inside one of the pyramids (please note that inside of the pyramid is an additional cost and the guide is not permitted to escort you).

Continue across the plateau for a photo opportunity of all 3 pyramids rising from the sands with the Cairo skyline in the background. A short drive across the plateau finds you standing at the feet of the Sphinx. Also in Giza you may visit the Solar Boat Museum (optional), home to the funerary boat of Khufu, considered one of the best Egyptian finds since Tutankhamun's tomb.

Housing 165,000 Egyptian artefacts, the Egyptian Museum in Cairo attracts millions of visitors a year. The highlights for most are the rooms containing the priceless treasures of King Tutankhamun. His 6 gold gilded coffins dominate the main hall, while his magnificent death mask is the must-see item of the day.

The Royal Mummies Room (additional cost) is also popular. Here you can see the mummies of many great Egyptian rulers, including Ramses II. Throughout the rest of the museum you will find countless Egyptian artefacts dating back thousands of years. Your guide will introduce you to the most important pieces before allowing you free time to explore at leisure. Continuing to Khan el Khalili bazaar, your guide will introduce you to the famous markets which claim to have inspired Christopher Columbus to discover the America. Enjoy free time to stroll through the maze of streets and try your luck bargaining for a souvenir of your trip to Egypt.

This is a private tour allowing you to determine the amount of time spent at each site during the tour. In addition you will have the chance to visit a Papyrus Institute to see how this famous artwork is made and have the chance to purchase genuine items if you wish.
