🏛️ The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) – A New Dawn for Egypt’s Heritage
Located near the Giza Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum is the country’s flagship cultural project, partially opened in 2024. It houses over 100,000 artifacts, including the complete Tutankhamun collection displayed for the first time together – his golden death mask, intricate jewellery, chariots, and ritual beds. The museum’s enormous glass facade offers a stunning view onto the pyramids. Your guide will lead you through the main halls, explaining the chronology of ancient Egypt from predynastic times to the Greco‑Roman period. Photography is allowed (without flash) in most areas. Allow about 2‑2.5 hours inside.
🐪 Giza Pyramids & Sphinx – The Eternal Icons
No visit to Egypt is complete without standing at the foot of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the only surviving wonder of the original Seven Wonders of the World. Your guided tour includes the three main pyramids (Khufu, Khafre, Menkaure), the Valley Temple of Khafre, and the Great Sphinx. You will have free time to take panoramic photos from the famous “9 pyramids view” spot. Optional (additional cost) interior entry to the Great Pyramid or Solar Boat Museum can be arranged on the day if time permits and with guide assistance.
🛍️ Khan El Khalili Bazaar – A Sensory Overload
After lunch, you’ll head to Khan El Khalili, Cairo’s legendary bazaar founded in 1382. Here, you’ll have about 60‑90 minutes to wander through narrow alleyways filled with shops selling spices, perfumes, gold and silver jewellery, inlaid boxes, glass lanterns, and hand‑blown glass. Your guide can help you find authentic products and demonstrate polite bargaining techniques. Don’t miss trying fresh mint tea at the famous El Fishawy café, a 250‑year‑old local institution.
