Day Trip to Cairo Museums from Aswan

Cairo Top Tours gives you the opportunity to enjoy one of the most valuable tours in Cairo that takes you to a variety of the most important museums in Egypt. 

On our day trip to Cairo from Aswan, you will enjoy an impressive visit to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, which is the first museum of its kind in Egypt and the Arab world. It is an integrated global cultural complex that offers visitors the opportunity to navigate through history to learn about successive Egyptian civilizations. The idea for the museum came when the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) announced that the museum includes a variety of artifacts that shed light on Egypt's tangible and intangible heritage, helping visitors understand Egyptian civilization through its different eras, from prehistory to the Ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Coptic, Islamic, modern, and contemporary eras, and the museum also includes a mummy room and an Egyptian textile room.

You will also enjoy an impressive visit to the Egyptian Museum of Tahrir which is considered one of Cairo's historical and tourist attractions. It is the oldest archaeological museum in the Middle East and the first building in the world built as a museum. The idea for its construction began in 1895, when the French architect Marcel Dornieu won the international competition held to design the museum building, and it was inaugurated by Khedive Abbas Helmy II in 1902. In April 2021, the museum was the center of world attention as it bid farewell to 22 royal mummies to be transferred to its permanent exhibition at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat in a solemn procession.

You can also explore one of the palaces distinguished in Cairo, the Abdeen Palace, which is considered, as it is said to be, the jewel of the nineteenth century and witnessed numerous events that contributed to the establishment of Egypt as an independent state. From its creation in 1863 until the revolution of 1952, this palace witnessed 90 years of social and political events, as history recalls that in 1867, Emperor Napoleon III of France invited Khedive Ismail to attend on behalf of Egypt to the Universal Exhibition then being held in the French capital, “Paris.” Khedive Ismail received Baron Hausmann, the main planner of the development and reconstruction of the city of Paris, and took him to walk and tour the European city, where spacious streets, parks, landscaped gardens, and new buildings of different styles abounded. It was then that Khedive Ismail realized that his capital should keep pace with other capitals in terms of development and progress.
