Classic Cairo City

Meet your private Egyptologist-Guide after breakfast and depart on another full day of exploring Cairo.

This morning visit the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the world’s largest and most comprehensive archaeological museum dedicated to one civilization, located near the Great Pyramids of Giza.
Spanning over seven millennia of Egyptian history, the GEM houses over 100,000 exhibits illuminating the legacy of Egypt’s ancient civilization. Upon entering, see the colossal statue of Ramses II, a commanding presence that once stood in Cairo’s Tahrir Square and now presides proudly over the museum’s grand atrium. From here, ascend the Grand Staircase, an architectural masterpiece that rises through time itself—each level thoughtfully curated to reflect a distinct era of Egypt’s rich past. At the top, view the Pyramids through a sweeping panoramic window. To the right lies the Tutankhamun Gallery, home to the legendary treasures of the Boy King. This remarkable exhibit, a recreation of his tomb, displays over 5,000 artifacts—many unveiled for the first time. Continue through the galleries showcasing artifacts, from prehistoric times and early dynasties to stories of pharaohs, gods, and everyday life, uncovering the mysteries and marvels of one of the world’s oldest cultures, along with the rhythm, of daily life along the Nile. Conclude your visit with time to browse the museum’s elegant shopping arcade or relax in one of its cafes. Overnight Cairo.

Continue to the Citadel which dominates Cairo’s skyline and visit the Mohammed Ali Mosque commissioned by Mohammed Ali Pasha between 1830 and 1848. Your tour ends later today with a visit to the 14th century bustling Khan El Khalili Bazaar where many bargains may be found. Overnight in Cairo.
