Itinerary
Begin your day at the Grand Egyptian Museum, the modern successor to the historic Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. The collection spans the full breadth of ancient Egyptian civilization, with highlights including artifacts from Tutankhamun's tomb and monumental royal statuary.
Take a scenic 30-minute boat ride along the Nile, the lifeblood of Egyptian civilization. The ride offers a calming pause between sites and a different vantage point on the city of Cairo.
Arrive at the Giza Plateau to visit the three great pyramids — Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure — built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom. Spend approximately 90 minutes exploring the complex, including the surrounding cemeteries and the remains of the ancient workers' village.
Walk to the Great Sphinx, the colossal limestone figure standing 20 meters tall with the head of a human and the body of a lion. Your guide will share current scholarly perspectives on its age, purpose, and the ongoing debates surrounding its original builder.
Visit the Egypt Papyrus Museum on Abo el Houl Street in Giza, where artisans demonstrate the traditional craft of papyrus production. The museum also features a curated selection of papyrus artwork available for purchase.
Enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a trusted local restaurant before heading to a reputable bazaar. Browse handcrafted goods and regional souvenirs in a comfortable, guide-accompanied environment.
