Itinerary

1. Explore the City of Cairo

   • Meet the tour guide in Cairo and visit the following:
     • Museum of Egyptian Antiquities- commonly known as the Egyptian Museum, in Cairo, Egypt. It is home to an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities dating back about 5,000 years of art. It is considered the world's largest and most valuable collection of Egyptian art. More than 250,000 original artifacts are presented, with a representative amount on display, the rest are in stores, and the Egyptian Museum is filled with thousands of pharaonic artifacts, including the golden treasures of King Tutankhamun. Fascinating objects such as jewels, headdresses, alabaster vases, and toys from ancient Egypt are all on display. Many priceless statues and other artifacts that were kept in his tomb for more than 3,500 years before their discovery in 1922, when the tomb was excavated, can also be seen in the Egyptian Museum. It is one of the first stops on most people's itineraries when travelling to Egypt.
     • The Citadel of Salah al-Din- was built under the order of Saladin between 1176 and 1183 to protect the city from European attacks. Today it is one of the main tourist attractions of Cairo and offers privileged views of the city.
     • Mohamed Ali "Alabaster Mosque"- is considered the largest to be built at the beginning of the 19th century by the ruler of Egypt (1805-1849), who ruled Egypt for over 45 years. It is built in Turkish style.
     • Khan ElKalili Bazar- (if time permits) is one of the most famous and oldest bazaars in the Middle East. The bazaar is loud, crowded, colourful, and exciting—full of all kinds of goods and shiny baubles. You can find the typical tourist trinkets here, but don’t let them distract you from the genuinely fine shopping to be found here.
     • Return to the hotel.
