- The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities - After visiting the pyramids, the tour proceeds to the Egyptian Museum, situated on a renowned square in Cairo. The museum’s ground floor features a vast collection of papyrus, coins from the Ancient world, and artifacts from the New Kingdom. The first floor showcases items from Egypt’s last two dynasties, including treasures from the tombs of Pharaohs Thutmosis III, Thutmosis IV, Amenophis II, Hatshepsut, and the courtier Maiherpri, along with numerous artifacts from the Valley of the Kings, notably from the intact tombs of Tutankhamun and Psusennes I. Visitors can admire the Gold Death Mask of Tutankhamun and some mummified animals. The museum boasts the world’s largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities.
- Old Cairo - Following the museum visit, guests will enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. The final stop on this tour is the Hanging Church, also known as the Suspended Church or Al-Moallaqa. It is named the Hanging Church because it was constructed on the southern gate of the Roman Fortress. Palm tree logs and stone layers were built above the fortress ruins to serve as a foundation. Visitors can explore this famous church in Cairo to gain insight into the Coptic religion. The Hanging Church once served as the residence of the Coptic Patriarch. Afterward, guests will be transported back to their hotel.

Loved the coffee shop at market. Delicious lunch and super tourguide Jimmy. Jimmy was thoughtful and again made us feel like the only people in Egypt. Highly recommended.
