NMEC & Giza Pyramids Layover Trip from Cairo Airport
Overview
Today, you will have an unforgettable experience as Cairo Top Tours offers you an unparalleled trip that takes you to two of the best places to explore during your visit to Cairo.
We will enjoy an unforgettable visit to the National Museum of Islamic Civilization, which is considered the first of its kind in Egypt and the Arab world. It is an integrated global cultural complex that offers visitors the opportunity to embark on a journey through history, learning about successive Egyptian civilizations. The idea of establishing the museum began when the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), at the request of the Egyptian government, announced an international campaign to establish the Nubia Museum in Aswan and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo in 1982.
What makes this museum so interesting to all visitors is that it contains a diverse collection of artifacts that sheds light on Egypt's tangible and intangible heritage, helping visitors understand Egyptian civilization throughout its different eras, from prehistory through the ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Coptic, Islamic, modern, and contemporary eras. The museum also features a hall dedicated to mummies and another to Egyptian textiles.
We will also take you on a special trip to the Giza Pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the World that still stands today and is considered one of the most famous archaeological sites in Egypt. It includes the pyramids of the kings of the Fourth Dynasty, Khufu, his son Khafre, and his grandson Menkaure, in addition to the famous Sphinx statue. Each of the kings' pyramids had a pyramid complex that included the queens' pyramids, a small pyramid considered to be the king's ideological pyramid, and a valley temple from which a path ascends, its sides engraved with scenes of daily life, leading to an upper temple known as the funerary temple. The priests performed funeral rites and burial rituals for the deceased king inside these temples.
