Begin our exciting journey to Cairo.
Situated in the heart of Tahrir Square, the Egyptian Museum (Museum of Egyptian Antiquities) has been a central destination for Egyptologists, housing some of the world's most extraordinary ancient artifacts. While portions of its collection are being moved to the new Grand Egyptian Museum, it remains a must-visit for anyone intrigued by ancient Egypt.
The Pyramids of Giza—consisting of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure—are among the most mysterious wonders of the ancient world and the only one still standing today. These magnificent 4th Dynasty structures, along with the iconic Great Sphinx that watches over the Giza Plateau, have fascinated visitors for over 4,000 years. They remain a centerpiece of any visit to Cairo and are often the main reason travelers journey to Egypt.
Rising 66 feet (20 meters) high, the Sphinx of Giza is one of ancient Egypt’s most iconic and puzzling monuments. With the body of a lion and the head of a human, this colossal statue—one of the oldest and largest on Earth—continues to inspire debate over its origin, meaning, and purpose. Widely seen as a symbol of strength, power, and wisdom, the Sphinx remains an enduring and fascinating enigma.
Papyrus holds a significant place in Egypt’s rich history. Made from the stalk of the Cyperus papyrus plant—which thrives in the damp areas of the Nile Delta and features a tough outer layer and a delicate core—this ancient form of paper was once a closely guarded secret, giving the Egyptians exclusive control over its production and trade. Just a short distance from the Giza Pyramids, the Papyrus Institute is a government-certified museum and store where visitors can learn about the papermaking process and browse a wide selection of authentic, hand-painted papyrus artworks. With prices ranging from affordable to high-end, these genuine pieces make for memorable, high-quality souvenirs. Knowledgeable staff also offer live demonstrations, guiding visitors through each step of traditional papyrus production
Built on the site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the longest surviving Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the 15th-century Citadel of Qaitbay (Fort Qaitbey) is a postcard-pretty sea fort. The battlements offer sweeping city views, the small museum houses maritime relics and aquariums, and three pillars likely date from the lighthouse.
At the center of the Kom al Dikka archaeological site stands Alexandria's Roman amphitheater, a remarkable structure with 13 tiers of well-preserved white marble seats. Built in the 2nd century AD to hold around 800 spectators, it remains the only Roman theater of its kind in Egypt. In addition to dramatic performances, it served as a venue for political gatherings and wrestling events, showcasing the dynamic cultural scene of ancient Alexandria.
