Full day Egyptian Museum, Pyramids & Sphinx Tour (the pyramids of Cheops, Chephran and Mycerinus). The Egyptian Museum is the most important depository of Egyptian antiquities anywhere in the world. It features artefacts from the Pharaonic and Graeco-Roman periods, including the celebrated mummies of ancient Egypt’s kings and Tutankhamun treasures.
The Pyramids and Sphinx were reckoned by the Greeks to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A single pyramid is built of 2,300,000 blocks, each weighing an average of two and one–half tons, their construction an immense feat of human endeavour. The Cheops Pyramid is especially interesting since its interior burial chambers are open for inspection by the public.
Not far from the Pyramids is the Great Sphinx of Giza, dating from the time of Chephren (2620BC). Hewn from natural yellowish limestone & standing 65 feet high and 187 feet long, this unforgettable statue combines the head of a Pharaoh with a lion’s body. The tour departs at 9am and lasts 8 hours.
Half day Citadel, Mosques & Khan Khalili Bazaar Tour. The Citadel, situated on a highly visible spur of the Mokattam Hills of Old Cairo, was the nerve centre of Egypt for almost 700 years. Construction began in 1176 and was completed by Muhammad Ali Pasha, ruler of Egypt in the late 19th century. Mamluk sultans and Turkish governors resided in the Citadel, which is among the world's most splendid monuments of medieval warfare. Facing the Citadel is the Mosque of Sultan Hassan, built between 1356 and 1363 and perhaps the most majestic monument of Arab architecture in Egypt and the Mosque of Al-Rifai, constructed in two phases between 1869 and 1912.
The tour also includes a visit to Khan ElKhalili, known as the Turkish bazaar during the Ottoman period and built in 1382 by Emir Djaharks ElKhalili, in the heart of what was then Fatimid City. Even today, the bazaar is a center of trade and communion in the city, and offers a wide array of antiques, handicrafts of gold, silver and copper as well as numerous old coffee shops and local restaurants which attract both Egyptians and tourists alike.
