Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
Step back 4,500 years as you walk in the shadow of the mighty Pyramids of Giza — Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. With your private guide by your side, you’ll uncover the secrets of ancient engineering, visit the legendary Sphinx, and take in the desert landscape from viewpoints most travelers miss. Optional camel rides add a classic touch of adventure.
2
In the heart of Cairo, the Egyptian Museum houses the world's largest collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities. Wander through centuries of history, from majestic statues to delicate papyri, as your tour guide tailors your visit to your interests.
3
Refuel with a delicious lunch at a handpicked local restaurant. Expect traditional Egyptian flavors like grilled kofta, rice-stuffed vine leaves, and freshly baked baladi bread — all served with Nile-side or cityscape views. It’s a relaxing and authentic pause in your adventure.
4
End your day at Cairo’s most famous market, Khan El Khalili. With centuries-old alleyways and buzzing artisan stalls, it’s the perfect spot to sip mint tea, chat with shopkeepers, and pick up souvenirs — from brass lanterns to hand-painted ceramics. Your guide will help you navigate the best spots and avoid tourist traps.
