What to bring
The essentials of Cairo in one private day: the Giza pyramids, the Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square and the Citadel of Saladin. Unlike group tours, the car and Egyptologist guide are yours, and you decide where to linger.
What you will see
- The Giza pyramids and the Great Sphinx — the plateau with the three great pyramids and the Valley Temple of Khafre.
- The Egyptian Museum on Tahrir — the historic museum with one of the world’s largest collections of antiquities. The royal mummies are no longer here: in April 2021 they were moved in the “Pharaohs’ Golden Parade” to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.
- The Citadel of Saladin — the fortress begun in 1176, with a viewpoint over the city and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali inside.

I've just got back from an unforgettable trip — a real journey back in time. The guides were professional and knew the history down to the smallest detail. They brought the streets to life, revealed their secrets and drew us into the fascinating world of the past. I'd also like to say a sincere thank you to Said for helping me choose this tour. Huge thanks to the organisers for such a memorable day!
