Private Trip to Pyramids Ibn Tulun Mosque and Gayer Anderson

The Giza Pyramids will be your first destination.  Our agent will pick you up in a private, air-conditioned vehicle and drive you to the designated destinations from your hotel or Cairo Airport.

Take pleasure in seeing the Sphinx, Menkaure, and Khafre. It is royal in character: The king is depicted as a reclining lion with a human head and covered in mongoose. The Sphinx once wore a false beard. This beard currently exists in a fragmented state, with some parts in Cairo and others in the British Museum.

You will be taken to Ibn Tulun Mosque, which will take you to a different era entirely from the first one, after finishing your tour of the Giza Necropolis and learning about its amazing history, thrilling tales, the religion of the Pharaohs, and everything else associated with this time period.

The Ibn Tulun Mosque will be your destination. The story of building the mosque goes back to when Fustat became too small for its inhabitants, Ahmad Ibn Tulun founded the city of Al-Qata’i in the year 256 AH, and built a congregational mosque in its center, which was completed in the year 265 AH. It is considered one of the largest mosques in the Islamic world, as its area, with the increase, that is, the space surrounding it on all sides except the direction of the qibla, is six and a half acres.

At the end of the tour, you will visit the Gayer-Anderson Museum. The reason for its establishment is that the British officer Gayer-Anderson Pasha submitted a request to the Committee for the Preservation of Arab Antiquities in 1935 to rent the two houses, restore them, furnish them in the Islamic style, and display his collection of Pharaonic and Islamic antiquities, in addition to his possessions dating back to various eras and civilizations from different countries, including India, China, Turkey, Iran, England, and Damascus. This furniture and his collection of antiquities would become the property of the Egyptian people after his death or when he finally left Egypt, and the two houses would be converted into a museum bearing his name. Then you will back to your hotel.
