Discover Cairo from a completely different perspective. This private tour takes you to the places where the history of the Pharaohs, Islam, and Christianity has come together for thousands of years. In just one day, you'll visit the impressive Saladin Citadel, the historic Old Cairo, and the spectacular Grand Egyptian Museum.
Your journey begins at the magnificent Saladin Citadel, a medieval fortress that has protected Cairo since the 12th century. From its walls, you'll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views across the city and, on a clear day, even as far as the Giza Pyramids. Inside the citadel, you'll explore the famous Muhammad Ali Mosque, also known as the Alabaster Mosque, admired for its elegant domes, towering minarets, and beautifully decorated interior.
Next, you'll travel to Old Cairo, the oldest part of the city, where different cultures and religions have coexisted for centuries. You'll visit the famous Hanging Church, built above the ancient Roman Fortress of Babylon, as well as a historic Coptic Church that reflects the rich Christian heritage of Egypt. Walking through its narrow streets, peaceful courtyards, and historic churches offers a completely different side of Cairo away from the bustling city.
The final highlight of your day is the extraordinary Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the world's largest archaeological museum dedicated to a single civilization. Be welcomed by the colossal statue of Ramses II, walk up the iconic Grand Staircase, and discover breathtaking collections filled with priceless treasures from Ancient Egypt in one of the world's most modern museums.
This is a private tour exclusively for you and your companions (maximum 4 people). There are no large groups, no rushing, and no fixed pace. Enjoy every stop at your own speed while your English, German, or Czech-speaking guide shares fascinating stories and brings Egypt's incredible history to life.
If you want to experience more than just the pyramids, this tour is the perfect choice. Discover the three faces of Cairo—Islamic, Christian, and Pharaonic—all in one unforgettable day.
