Pyramids of Giza & Sphinx
Enjoy your breakfast before starting your guided tour to visit one of the Seven Wonders of the world, the Great Pyramids of Giza. Your Egyptologist guide will escort you around the pyramid complex and brief you on thousands of years of history.
The largest, the Pyramid of Khufu — also known as the Great Pyramid — was originally covered in gleaming white limestone casing stones and stood at 146 metres tall, making it the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years.
Next, visit the Great Sphinx. This mythical creature has the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, and stands tall guarding the Giza Plateau in Egypt.
Felucca sail on the Nile
Sailing on a felucca in Cairo offers a serene escape from the city's hustle.
These traditional wooden sailboats glide gracefully on the Nile, powered by gentle breezes. As you relax on cushioned seating, you’ll witness iconic sights like Cairo’s skyline.

Coptic Cairo
Khan El Khalili Market
Coptic Cairo
Coptic Cairo is a neighbourhood brimming with rich history and remarkable heritage.
Also known as “Old Cairo”, this historic enclave offers a glimpse into Egypt's Christian heritage. This charming district is home to ancient churches, monasteries, and winding alleys steeped in history.
Highlights include the Hanging Church, a 7th-century masterpiece suspended above a Roman fortress, and the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, believed to shelter the Holy Family during the time of fleeing to Egypt.
Khan El Khalili Market
Nestled within the vibrant streets of the historic Islamic Cairo district lies an enchanting world of colours, scents, and cultural treasures. The Khan El-Khalili Bazaar is a bustling, vibrant market that has been around for centuries. Famous for its gold souks, visitors can shop for unique pieces and souvenirs through its whimsical laneways. Bartering is expected here, but we’ll happily help you negotiate a fair price if you prefer.
