Your Egyptologist guide will meet you at the museum of your choice for the day: either the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the world’s largest archaeological museum housing over 100,000 artifacts, or the classic Egyptian Museum located at Tahrir Square. Select your preferred museum during booking.

After the museum visit, enjoy lunch at a nearby restaurant with views of the Pyramids of Giza. Proceed to Panorama Point for photo opportunities before exploring the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, and the Great Sphinx.

Depending on your arrangement with the guide, end the day with an optional Nile boat trip or a city tour of Old Cairo time permitting. If your return flight is late, visit Khan el Khalili market or Cairo Festival City mall, featuring international brands and dining options.
