sightseeing
The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, also known as the Egyptian
Museum, is a veritable treasure trove of Ancient Egypt’s
artifacts, with an extensive collection of more than 120,000
items split between its exhibits and storerooms. Delve into
the historical background of Egypt on a full day private tour
with your Egyptologist guide through the world’s largest
collection of Pharaonic antiquities, admiring the treasures
that are stored here for safekeeping. Tie together the
grandeur of Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel with a
collection of archaeological finds including statues, jewelry,
amulets, sarcophagi, papyrus, ancient coins and the stories of
famous Egyptologists. Marvel at the exquisite grandeur of the
Mask of Tutankhamun and his coffin – Egypt’s most famous
teenage king although his mummy is still in its original tomb
in the Valley of the Kings. Explore the Royal Mummy Hall with
your included entrance fee, where some of the world’s most
powerful people are now resting, excavated from their tombs in
the Valleys of the Kings and Queens.
Relax and enjoy a buffet lunch at a local restaurant,
including a choice of a small bottle of water, soft drink, tea
or coffee.
As the day draws to a close, Cairo’s Khan Khalili Bazaar
becomes a vibrant scene: a maze of shops lined with souvenirs
and antiques, restaurants and coffee shops, workshops,
mosques, and food vendors. The sights and sounds intermingle
in an enchanting display over wafting aromas of freshly baked
bread and roasting meats. Stroll down Al Moaz Street with your
private guide, and marvel at the largest concentration of
medieval architectural treasures from the Islamic world. Opt
for an exclusive visit to Beit El Seheimy, an Ottomanera house
transformed into a museum. Normally, this location would be
closed to the public during the evening, but this exclusive
tour provides access. End the evening with a memorable dinner
at the Egyptian restaurant Naguib Mafouz, located in the heart
of the bazaar. The restaurant is one of Cairo’s top-rated
dining establishments. After dinner, return to your hotel by
Train.
