Start our trip to Cairo
Located in the heart of Tahrir Square, the Egyptian Museum—officially known as the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities—has been a beacon for Egyptologists since its opening. It houses some of the world’s most remarkable ancient relics. While many artifacts are being transferred to the new Grand Egyptian Museum, this historic site remains a must-visit for anyone fascinated by ancient Egypt.
The Pyramids of Giza—Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure—are among the most mysterious and enduring wonders of the ancient world, standing tall after more than 4,000 years. As the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World, these 4th-dynasty pyramids and their iconic guardian, the Great Sphinx, rise majestically from the Giza Plateau. Visiting them is a must for any trip to Cairo and often the very reason travelers come to Egypt.
Standing 66 feet (20 meters) tall, the Sphinx of Giza is an enduring symbol of ancient Egypt and a subject of ongoing debate about its meaning, age, and creator. With the body of a lion and the head of a human, this colossal statue—one of the world’s largest and oldest—represents strength, power, and wisdom.
Papyrus is a vital part of Egypt’s heritage. This ancient paper is made from the stalk of the Cyperus papyrus plant, which grows in the damp regions of the Nile Delta and features a brittle interior and tough exterior. For centuries, the papyrus-making process was a closely guarded secret, giving ancient Egyptians a monopoly over its production and trade. Near the Pyramids in Giza, the government-approved Papyrus Institute offers visitors a chance to explore this tradition. Browse a wide range of hand-painted papyrus prints, available at various price points. These authentic artworks make excellent souvenirs. Knowledgeable staff guide visitors through the entire papyrus-making process, including live demonstrations of how this ancient craft is done.
Start your tour with a visit to the iconic Citadel of Saladin, a medieval Islamic fortress that offers breathtaking panoramic views of Cairo. Discover its rich history and strategic significance.
Inside the citadel stands the magnificent Mohamed Ali Mosque, renowned for its striking alabaster façade and grand Ottoman-style architecture. It is one of Cairo’s most iconic landmarks.
After lunch, delve into the spiritual heart of Old Cairo by visiting the historic Coptic Church, followed by the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, which is believed to be built on the very spot where the Holy Family rested during their flight into Egypt. Conclude your visit with a stop at the Ben Ezra Synagogue, one of the oldest synagogues in Egypt.
Continue your journey to the Amr Ibn Al-As Mosque, the first mosque ever built in Egypt in 642 AD. Admire its serene and minimalist design, which has influenced Islamic architecture for centuries.
Wrap up your day with a visit to the lively Khan El Khalili Bazaar, Cairo’s largest and most famous souk. Enjoy free time to browse for souvenirs, spices, jewelry, and handicrafts, or simply soak up the vibrant atmosphere of this bustling market.
