Itinerary
In the morning, after a delicious breakfast at your hotel, anywhere in Cairo or Giza,one of the expert guides will be waiting for you to accompany you on your adventure in a private modern car to enjoy your visit comfortably.
Today we explore at first the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation, which is one of the most important museums in Egypt and the Middle East, the reason for this is that it is the first museum dedicated to showing the development of the Egyptian civilisation from prehistory to the modern era. Upon entering the museum, one feels like on a journey back in time, as one moves between rooms that show the daily life, arts, beliefs and lifestyle of the Egyptians, and what surprises visitors the most is the Hall of Royal Mummies, which includes 22 mummies of great kings and queens such as Ramses II, Sakhnen Ra and Hatshepsut. In addition, the soft lighting and majestic design of the room convey an amazing sense of awe and sacredness, as if we were face to face with these great rulers. In addition, we will find rare pieces of textiles, manuscripts and tools that tell the stories of a civilisation that lived for thousands of years.
Then we will head to the Pyramids of Giza, the only surviving miracle of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, where we will find before our eyes the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the largest stone structure built by man, with a towering height that was and still is a mystery to scientists and engineers. Next to it stands the Pyramid of Khafre, which is characterised by part of its white stone cladding at the top, giving you a glimpse of the splendour of the scene in ancient times. The smaller pyramid of Menkaure completes a symmetrical painting that represents the greatness of ancient Egyptian architecture, and close to the pyramids.
After the atmosphere of history and civilisation, it's time to relax and enjoy the magic of nature aboard a sailing felucca on the Nile River. The felucca will give you a unique sense of tranquillity, away from the noise of the city, as you move lightly in the breeze amidst the ancient waters of the Nile.
When your journey is over, our guide will return to your Cairo or Giza hotel.
