Highlights
-
Pyramids of Giza - Start your day with your guide picking you up from your hotel then you go to The Giza Pyramids which was built to endure an eternity, have done just that. Egypt’s pharaohs expected to become gods in the afterlife. To prepare for the next world they erected temples to the gods and massive pyramid tombs for themselves—filled with all the things each ruler would need to guide and sustain himself in the next world.
there you can enjoy 30 minutes riding camels - Great Sphinx - The Great Sphinx is among the world’s largest sculptures, measuring some 240 feet (73 metres) long and 66 feet (20 metres) high. It features a lion’s body and a human head adorned with a royal headdress. The statue was carved from a single piece of limestone, and pigment residue suggests that the entire Great Sphinx was painted.
-
Khan Al-Khalili - Located in the heart of Islamic Cairo, near the Medieval walled city of the Saladin Citadel, the Khan el-Khalili market was built on the old burial site of the Fatimid Caliphs, who founded Cairo in the 10th century. Trading in the souk dates from the 14th century, but its elaborately-carved monumental gates and grid-like alleyways were constructed in the 16th century under Egypt’s last powerful Mamluk ruler.
Throughout the rest of the bazaar, stalls are full of colourful lanterns, candles, jewellery, perfumes, musical instruments and other handicrafts - you can pretty much find anything you could possibly want within its walls! - Egyptian Museum - The Egyptian Museum in Cairo (EMC) is the oldest archaeological museum in the Middle East, housing over 170,000 artefacts. It has the largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities in the world.
- Mosque of Amr Ibn Al-As - The mosque of Amr Ibn Al-Aas was originally constructed using palm trunks, mud-brick, and palm leaves for a roof so none of the original structure remains and it has been rebuilt many times since the 7th century. The first arcades of columns were erected in 827, giving it a permanent form that has since been expanded. Only a small number of these original architraves remain today and can be viewed along the mosque’s southern wall. The building was most recently rebuilt in 1875. then your guide will drop you off in your drop off location

Lowest price and excellent service - Guide mido picked us up from our hotel on time . The agency contacted us the day before the tour to confirm our pick you time and place and they kept on contacting us during & after the tour to make sure that everything is ok . Our guide is so knowlegeable and decent . He explains the sightseeings in detail and answered all my questions . driver Mohamed is perfect and his car is very comfy and clean . We visited pyramids , sphinx and we rode camels there and mido took nice funny pictures of us with many views at the pyramids & sphinx which I like it . Also, we visit the Egyptian Museum which is wonderful also then Mido made for us a nice tour in Khan El khalili Bazar which I enjoyed so much . One another best thing in this tour is that the guide doesn't enforce us to buy anything from the bazars which was likely happened with us with another agency a few days ago in Luxor . This thing I appreciate it so much . Overall , there isnot any mistake in our tour today 10/10 . Thanks Mido so much . Thanks pharaohs tour for the best price , best service , best guide & driver .
