2-Day Private Tour to Giza, Saqqara, Dahshur and Cairo

Your first stop will be the Egyptian Museum. See the animal mummy room, the mummy portraits, and King Tutankhamun’s jewelry. Visit the Royal Mummy rooms (at extra cost) if you wish. Afterward, sail on a Felucca on the Nile for one hour and enjoy the fresh breeze.

In the afternoon, proceed to Old Cairo and see the main sights, such as the Roman Fortress of Babylon and the Hanging Church, the Church of Abu Serga, and the Jewish Synagogue of Ben Ezra.

Explore the Citadel of Saladin and take some pictures of the panorama of the citadel, before exploring the mosque of Mohammed Ali Pasha inside the citadel. Take a stroll over Cairo’s biggest market, Khan El Khalili Bazaar, before proceeding to the port to board your dinner cruise ship.

Enjoy a buffet dinner and be mesmerized by the oriental show. You will be driven back to your accommodation both days after the tour is finished. On this tour, you will also have the chance to try authentic Egyptian food, such as ‘koshary’ (a mixture of lentils, rice, and macaroni with a topping of tomato-vinegar sauce. There is a variation of spaghetti garnished with chickpeas and crispy fried onion.

Garlic juice and hot sauce are optional additions), ‘foul’ (or ‘ful medames’, cooked fava beans served with oil, cumin and optional additions of parsley, garlic, onion, lemon juice and chili pepper) or ‘falafel’ (deep-fried patty made from ground fava beans served in a pita).
