Full-day tour: Giza pyramids, Egyptian Museum and Khan el-Khalili

If you have one day in Cairo, this is the classic way to spend it.

We start on the Giza plateau with the pyramids and the Great Sphinx, with plenty of time for photos. Next is the Egyptian Museum, where your guide shows you the treasures of Tutankhamun and the collection’s highlights. After a lunch break at a local restaurant, you finish in the lanes of Khan el-Khalili, Cairo’s historic bazaar.

We pick you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza in an air-conditioned vehicle, entrance fees for every site are paid, and bottled water and juice are on board. Lunch is at your own cost.
