Stop 3

This tour is the time machine where we go back more than 5000 years ago exploring how they live, what they eat, what their dreams and more, such an unbelievable feeling you will get, because you will visit Giza Pyramids which have become nearly equivalent with Egypt itself. Their incredible size continues to impress millions of visitors each year, as they struggle to understand how three kings Cheops, Chephren, & Mikerinos, could have constructed such massive structures so long time ago.

Regardless of their fame, the Giza Pyramids considered only a short chapter in the long history of Ancient Egypt. All three great pyramids, as well as the Queen’s pyramids next to them, were built during the Old Kingdom 4th dynasty

Stop 4

the most famous monuments of ancient world! These massive stone structures were built around 4,500 years ago on a rocky desert plateau close to the Nile and always amaze visitors

Stop 5

the biggest Islamic and educational mosque here in Egypt & It is considered a source for enlightenment and the largest religious institution in the entire Islamic world.

Felucca Ride on the Nile in Cairo: One of the best things to do in Cairo is go for a sail on the Nile on a felucca. A felucca is a traditional Egyptian sailing boat that can be crewed by just one man. Sailing the Nile on a felucca is one of the few ways to escape the chaos of Cairo, and actually get some peace and quiet! All you can hear is the gentle lapping of the water against the hull, and the flapping of the sails.
