Your day begins with an unforgettable visit to one of the biggest and most well-known museums in the world. The Egyptian Museum, which is situated on the northern side of Tahrir Square in the center of Cairo, the Egyptian capital. When it was founded in 1835, it was housed in Azbakeya Park and contained a wide variety of antiquities. Later, its contents were transferred to Salah al-Din Citadel's second exhibition hall. It wasn't until Auguste Mariette, a French Egyptologist working at the Louvre Museum, had the idea to open a museum at Boulaq to display a collection of antiquities on the Nile shore. Once these artifacts were under risk of flooding, they were relocated to a special annex of the palace of Khedive Ismail at Giza. Then arrived Egyptologist Gaston Maspero, and the new museum building opened in its present site in the center of Cairo in 1902, during the rule of Khedive Abbas Helmi II.
You will also have the opportunity to explore the Coptic Museum, the Hanging Church, the Greek Church of St. George, the Babylon Fortress, and other Coptic churches and historical sites located in Coptic Cairo, one of Cairo's best-known tourist destinations. Christian legend states that the Holy Family came to this region and stayed in the church of Saints Bacchus and Sergius (Abu Sarja).
We conclude our excursion with an unforgettable visit to one of the seven wonders of the world that is still located, the Pyramids of Giza, an archaeological site in Egypt that includes the Great Pyramid, the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, as well as associated complexes and the Great Sphinx. These monuments were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom in ancient Egypt, between approximately 2600 and 2500 BC. The site also includes several temples, tombs, and the remains of a workers' village.
The complex is situated on the edge of the Western Desert, some 13 kilometers (8.1 miles) southwest of Cairo's downtown and 9 kilometers (5.6 miles) west of the Nile River near the city of Giza. The location makes up the northern portion of the 16,000-hectare Pyramid Fields, which are 160 square kilometers or 62 square miles in size.
After finishing your excursions in Cairo, you will take your bus back to Hurghada.
