Itinerary
Pickup from your hotel in either Cairo or Giza by tour guide to start your tour . The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, known commonly as the Egyptian Museum or Museum of Cairo, in Cairo, Egypt, is home to an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities. It has 120,000 items, with a representative amount on display, the remainder in storerooms. Built in 1901 by the Italian construction company Garozzo-Zaffarani to a design by the French architect Marcel Dourgnon, the edifice is one of the largest museums in the region. As of March 2019, the museum is open to the public. In 2020 the museum is due to be superseded by the new Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza.
Coptic Cairo is a part of Old Cairo which encompasses the Babylon Fortress, the Hanging Church, the Greek Church of St. George and many other Coptic churches and historical sites. It is believed in Christian tradition that the Holy Family visited this area and stayed at the site of Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church (Abu Serga).[1] Coptic Cairo was a stronghold for Christianity in Egypt until the Islamic era, though most of the current buildings of the churches in Coptic Cairo were built after the Muslim conquest of Egypt in the 7th century.
The Ben Ezra Synagogue (Hebrew: בית כנסת בן עזרא; Arabic: معبد بن عزرا), sometimes referred to as the El-Geniza Synagogue (בית כנסת אל גניזה) or the Synagogue of the Levantines (al-Shamiyin),[1] is situated in the Fustat part of Old Cairo, Egypt. According to local folklore, it is located on the site where baby Moses was found
Saint Virgin Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church (Coptic: ϯⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉⲑⲉⲟⲇⲟⲕⲟⲥ ϯⲁⲅⲓⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲃⲁⲃⲩⲗⲟⲛ ⲛ̀ⲭⲏⲙⲓ Church of Mother of God Saint Mary in Egyptian Babylon), also known as the Hanging Church (Arabic: الكنيسة المعلقة, romanized: al-Kanīsa al-Muʿallaqa, Coptic: ϯⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲥⲓϣⲓ), is one of the oldest churches in Egypt and the history of a church on this site dates to the third century
Khan el-Khalili (Arabic: خان الخليلي) is a famous bazaar and souq (or souk) in the historic center of Cairo, Egypt. The bazaar district is one of Cairo's main attractions for tourists and Egyptians alike. It is also home to many Egyptian artisans and workshops involved in the production of traditional crafts and souvenirs. Tour Finishes with drop off at Customer Hotel in Cairo or Giza

Traveler reviews
Tour with Mohammed
Mohammed was a good guide, speaking English very eloquently, and he knew a lot about the history. He also could teach me a few hieroglyphics and the logic behind them. He has a good laid-back attitude, but professional aura around him, which makes him chill and not too demanding. The only minus point was that he was so good that the tour was over too quickly, and I didn't have anything to do for the rest of the day. So ask him a lot of questions and take it slow hahaha!
Cairo museum and shopping
Lots of history. Infrastructure needs massive rebuilding. Animals are free to roam. Food was tasty..
One of our best...
One of our best experience we have ever had, our tour guide (Hassan karem) was very knowledgeable about everything we saw and i would highly recommend it to anyone who decide to come to eygpt.
Mixed review
My review on this tour is mixed. We scheduled for 9:00 AM. The email we received the day before said our guide would be at the hotel at 8:00. So all six of us were ready to go at 8:00. Guide didn't show up until 9:20 with only a small apology. We tried to contact EMO Tours but couldn't get through by any method so were quite relieved when he did show. We had to stop at one point and switch drivers so I am not sure what the issue that day was. Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history but was very unprofessional in dress with holey jeans and a hoodie. On the upside, we requested not to do the Coptic Churches but to visit the Egyptian Civilization Museum instead since we had just learned that's where the mummies are now located. Our guide checked with the company and they said it was fine. We did buy our own tickets which was ok. We also did the old Grand Egyptian Museum which was fantastic! Our guide gave us too much information on some of the exhibits. We did the lunch option which was very good and there was tons of food. Our guide failed to tell us we were responsible for paying for our drinks. No big deal but we should have been informed. We were then supposed to do the Bazaar. Due to some translation issues with the guide, we ended up at some high cost stores that had the same things as the street vendors at a much higher cost. I do have to say, our guide did his hardest to make me happy and the tour lasted longer than stated which was our fault.
Friendly and Informative Experience
We were provided with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, and nice driver. The guide was happy to arrange our tour at our requested pace.
