Pyramids of Giza, Egyptian Museum and Christian Cairo Tour
Walk through five thousand years of Egyptian history in a single remarkable day.
This Pyramids of Giza and Egyptian Museum tour takes you from the iconic limestone plateau at Giza through the treasure-filled halls of the Egyptian Museum and into the ancient Christian quarter of Coptic Cairo. A knowledgeable guide accompanies you throughout the entire journey, providing historical context at every stop.
The day opens at Giza, where the three great pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus rise from the desert plateau. You will also visit the Great Sphinx, carved during the reign of Chephren, and the adjacent Valley Temple, one of the oldest stone buildings in existence.
After lunch at a local restaurant, the tour continues to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, home to more than 250,000 genuine artifacts spanning five millennia of ancient Egyptian civilization. The collection includes the celebrated Tutankhamun treasure, recovered from his sealed tomb in the 1920s after more than 3,500 years undisturbed.
The final stop is Coptic Cairo, a compact historic district containing some of the earliest Christian monuments in Egypt. The Hanging Church, Ben Ezra Synagogue, Church of St. Barbara, and Church of Abu Serga stand within walking distance of one another, representing centuries of continuous religious life in the heart of the city.
