• The Egyptian Museum in Cairo - Begin your journey with a pickup from your hotel by a guide to start your tour at The Egyptian Museum, the oldest archaeological museum in the Middle East. It boasts the largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities worldwide, showcasing an extensive array from the Predynastic Period to the Greco-Roman Era.

The building’s architect was chosen through an international competition in 1895, the first of its kind, won by French architect Marcel Dourgnon. The museum was inaugurated in 1902 by Khedive Abbas Helmy II and has become a historic landmark in downtown Cairo, housing some of the world’s most magnificent ancient masterpieces.

Khufu Statue: This statue represents King Khufu (known to the Greeks as Cheops), the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Interestingly, this small, 7.5-cm-tall statuette is the only confirmed contemporary three-dimensional representation of this king. When first discovered, the head was missing.

• Mosque of Muhammad Ali - Next, transfer to The Citadel of Sultan Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi (Saladin), one of the most iconic monuments in Islamic Cairo and among the most impressive defensive fortresses from the Middle Ages. Its strategic location on the Muqattam Hills provided a formidable defensive position and offers, as it still does today, an unrestricted panoramic view of Cairo.

Sultan Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi was the first to order the construction of a fortress over the Muqattam Hills in (572 AH/ 1176 AD), but it was not completed during his lifetime. This was achieved during the reign of Sultan al-Kamel ibn al-Adel (604 AH/1207 AD), who decided to reside there, making it the official residence of Egypt’s rulers. In the mid-nineteenth century, Khedive Ismail moved the official residence to Abdeen Palace in downtown Cairo. The Citadel has witnessed some of the most significant events in Egyptian history from its construction to the end of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty.

• Bazaar Khan El-Khalili - Khan el-Khalili is a renowned bazaar and souq (or souk) in the historic center of Cairo, Egypt. Established as a trade center during the Mamluk era and named after one of its several historic caravanserais, the bazaar district has become one of Cairo’s main attractions for tourists and Egyptians alike. It is also home to many Egyptian artisans and workshops involved in producing traditional crafts and souvenirs. The name Khan el-Khalili historically referred to a single building in the area; today, it refers to the entire shopping district. The site of Khan el-Khalili in Fatimid times (10th-12th centuries) Cairo was originally founded in 969 CE as a capital for the Fatimid Caliphate, an empire that by then covered much of North Africa and parts of the Levant and the Hijaz. Jawhar Al-Siqilli, the general who conquered Egypt for the Fatimids, was ordered to construct a great palace complex.
