Description

Discover the essence of Cairo with a flexible tour that takes you through its most iconic landmarks. From the Egyptian Museum to the Salah El Din Citadel and Old Cairo, you can focus on one, combine two, or explore them all in a single day

The Egyptian Museum is a treasure chest of history, housing more than 120,000 artifacts from Egypt’s ancient past. Admire the dazzling treasures of Tutankhamun, crafted statues, jewelry, and papyri. Step into the Royal Mummies Hall to encounter Egypt’s rulers face to face. With your expert guide, each exhibit becomes part of a fascinating story that brings the ancient world alive

The Salah El Din Citadel, a medieval fortress perched high above Cairo, offers both grandeur and history. Wander through massive gates and courtyards before entering the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, with its domes and Ottoman design. From the Citadel’s terraces, enjoy sweeping city views while learning about the battles and rulers that shaped Cairo

In Old Cairo, walk through winding alleys where centuries of faith and culture have left their mark. Visit the famous Hanging Church, admire the historic Ben Ezra Synagogue, and explore streets lined with enduring traditions. This district of churches, mosques, and lanes is a living museum of Cairo’s spiritual heart

If you prefer a shorter experience, choose the Egyptian Museum Only, available in both morning and afternoon periods, ideal for those with limited time. For a deeper journey, combine the Museum with Old Cairo, the Citadel with Old Cairo, or opt for the full package with all three. To extend the adventure further, some options also add the vibrant Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, where spices, crafts, and perfumes fill the air with Cairo’s timeless energy

We’ve designed options for all interests — choose the one that’s perfect for you:

The Shared Tour includes entry tickets, is guided in English, and does not include lunch, offering a social and budget-friendly way to explore

The Private Tour is available in multiple languages and includes lunch, ensuring a stress-free and fully personalized day

The VIP Private Tour combines the Museum, Citadel, Old Cairo, and Khan el-Khalili with a peaceful Felucca boat ride on the Nile, available in English only for a luxurious finale to your journey

▶Please note: Some options include a visit to the Egyptian Museum, while others may also include the Salah El Din Citadel, Old Cairo, or the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar depending on your choice

Private guests can also enhance their day with exclusive add-ons such as the Ibn Tulun Mosque, Al-Azhar Mosque, Gayer-Anderson Museum, Amr ibn Al-Aas Mosque, Al-Rifa’i Mosque, Aqmar Mosque, Muizz Street, Abu al-Abbas Mosque, Qalawun Complex, Prince Mohamed Ali Palace, City of the Dead, Bayt al-Suhaymi, Islamic and Coptic Cairo, and The Cave Church
