Unforgettable Day Exploring Egypt’s Ancient Wonders

This tour was an absolute must-do! Visiting the Pyramids of Giza was a dream come true. The sheer size of the Great Pyramid took my breath away, and standing next to the Sphinx was surreal. We had enough time to walk around and take in the sights while our guide explained everything in great detail. He was so passionate and knowledgeable about ancient Egypt, which made the experience even better. The second half of the tour at the Egyptian Museum was equally impressive. There are thousands of artifacts, but the highlights for me were the royal mummies and the treasures of Tutankhamun. Seeing the famous golden mask in person was incredible. This tour covers the absolute best of Egypt’s ancient history – highly recommended!

Unforgettable Day!

This tour is a must-do when in Cairo! Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about both the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. We learned so much about ancient Egypt and its wonders. The best part for me was being so close to the Sphinx and learning about the mystery behind its construction. The Egyptian Museum is a treasure trove. I was in awe of the ancient relics, particularly the display of Tutankhamun’s treasures. Our guide’s storytelling made it feel like we were traveling back in time. The day was well-paced, and even though we saw so much, it didn’t feel rushed. If you're visiting Cairo, make sure to book this tour!
