Itinerary

Day 1

Private guided tours in Cairo start at 8:00 am with pick-up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by a Best Destination Tours guide to begin your full-day tour visiting the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. It displays the largest and most precious items of Egyptian art in the world, with a rare collection of over 250,000 genuine artifacts dating back as far as 5000 years, including an exclusive exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamen, treasures, gold, and jewelry that were buried in his tomb for over 3,500 years before being discovered in 1920. Afterward, for those looking to explore Cairo day trips, you will enjoy lunch at a local restaurant with a full meal (beverages not included). Then, continue your tour by visiting Old Cairo, known as Christian Coptic Cairo, one of the most important attractions of Cairo. This is where the Holy Family visited, and the spiritual impact of their presence is still felt today. Though their stay was brief, the Governor of Fustat, enraged by the tumbling of idols at Jesus' approach, sought to kill the child. They took shelter in a cave, above which the Church of Abu Serga (St. Sergius) was later built. This area, along with the Fort of Babylon, remains a pilgrimage destination for Egyptians and Christians from around the world, with an air of piety and devotion pervading the entire district. Explore this fascinating site further with one of the most enriching Cairo walking tours.

Mar 2025 • Couples My husband and I had a great time. The agency has arranged a tailor-made itinerary for us, providing great accommodation, excellent guides in Italian, an efficient transport service and assistance in Italian for the duration of the trip. During our stay we requested some additions to the program (during the month of Ramadan and most archaeological sites and museums close very early, between 15 and 16) and we were always satisfied.
