Select your preferred museum during the booking process.
Marvel at the last existing wonder of the world - a fabulous experience! Ride a camel around the pyramids and step onto the ground that the ancient Egyptians walked on thousands of years ago. At the end of the trip you might visit a perfume factory or a papyrus factory, depending on the time left.
If the return flight from Cairo is late in the evening, we will spend some time visiting the London of the Middle Ages (Khan el Klalili market), Old Cairo, recently added to the UNESCO World Heritage list, or Cairo Festival City, an extra-large shopping mall (air-conditioned), one of the largest in the Middle East. Full of the most famous international brands, restaurants, cafes and a huge colorful dancing fountain, where you will be drawn to Cairo's chic, modern nightlife.
Pass by: If we have time, we can make two characteristic visits to the Papyrus Museum and the Essential Oil Factory. These two attractions will familiarize you with the ancient Egyptian techniques for producing papyrus and essences. These two interesting visits will increase your knowledge of daily life in ancient Egypt and will also be useful to the Egyptian farmers who work in these sectors and preserve these very old handicrafts from ancient Egypt. (These visits depend on the time remaining.)
Afterwards, your mind needs some rest. You can, for example, relax with a boat trip on the Nile and discover Cairo from the water.

Traveler reviews
Impressive day in Cairo
Had a very beautiful and impressive day with our guide Sam! He knows a lot about Egypt, history and mythology. We got plenty of time everywhere, at the pyramids, at the Sphinx and certainly at the Grand Egyptian Museum. To finish off with a trip down the Nile, Sam made sure we could see what we wanted everywhere, had photos and were satisfied. Highly recommended!
Mr Fahmy was the best guide
It was a very safe trip because of mr Fahmy. He knew every best spot en a lot of short cuts so we never had to wait for something. Very well organized!
Perfect.
For a visit to Cairo on 1 day c is great. Everything is done remotely, we receive the tickets the day before via WhatsApp. It is true that you have to pay the balance in cash upon arrival at the airport but no problem (one receives a paper receipt). Schedules are respected for transfer to the airport. Ditto arrived in Cairo: the guide and minibus are there. We had an Ahmed Francophone guide who accompanied us well. We had time to make the pyramids and the museum despite the limited time on site. Despite a short time on site and therefore fatigue at the end of the day, it was a great experience. So no worries to book in advance
Very good
Fantastic experience! We had booked a trip and everything was perfectly planned. We got our airline tickets sent via WhatsApp, and the transfer to the airport was also well arranged. When we arrived in Cairo, our guide waited for us and took us under his wings. The day was long but our guide was fantastic and made sure we got the best out of our time. The only drawback was the food, which did not quite live up to our expectations. But it did not affect our overall satisfaction with the trip and we would definitely recommend this trip to others.
