Our representative will pick you up from your hotel in Dahab and transfer you by private air-conditioned vehicle to Sharm El Sheikh Airport for your flight to Cairo, where your private guide will be waiting to begin your tour. Visit the Great Pyramid of Khufu, one of Egypt’s most remarkable ancient monuments. Admire its massive stone blocks, towering height, and 4,600-year-old history. Your guide will explain the Giza Plateau, including the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, and you’ll have time for photos. Spend around two hours exploring — enter a pyramid chamber or enjoy an optional camel ride. Then head to the Sphinx and nearby Valley Temple to learn about royal symbolism and ancient mummification.

Explore the vast Egyptian Museum on a 2-hour guided tour. Your Egyptologist guide will lead you to the highlights, including the famous Tutankhamun treasures. After the tour, enjoy free time to browse the collection at your own pace.

Continue to Old Coptic Cairo, a sacred district home to 14 churches and a Jewish synagogue. Begin with the 5th-century Hanging Church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary and built atop one of the towers of the Babylon Fortress. Admire its 110 icons as your guide explains its history. Then visit the Cavern Church of St. Sergius, where the Holy Family is believed to have sheltered for three months. Conclude with the Ben Ezra Synagogue, Cairo’s oldest Jewish temple, and learn about the history of Egypt’s Jewish community.
