Your early journey begins with the gratitude of a Cairo Top Tours representative for the excellent hospitality extended at the hotel in Sharm el-Sheik before escorting you to the airport for your flight to Cairo. You will be given an enthralling tour of the Giza Plateau upon arrival in Egypt's historic capital, where the magnificent Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure are located. The Great Sphinx, a massive limestone figure that resembles the face of Pharaoh Khafre, is located nearby yet far away. You will then proceed to Saqqara to visit the Step Pyramid of Djoser, constructed by the architect Imhotep, and said to be the earliest large-scale cut stone construction, which then marked a revolution in Egyptian architecture.
Upon a delightful lunch at one of the well-known local restaurants, the tour takes you for a stroll through Cairo's spiritual legacy in Old Coptic Cairo. Enter the Hanging Church, built upon the ancient Babylon Fortress, and the Coptic Museum, which boasts the largest collection of Coptic Christian artifacts in the world. Then, experience the vibrant atmosphere of Khan El Khalili Bazaar, an age-old market where traders used to meet from all over the Islamic world. The perfect way to round up the day would be with a relaxing dinner cruise along the Nile with traditional music and beautiful views of the Cairo skyline in the evening before returning to the hotel to spend the night there.
