Day Trip to Giza Pyramids, El Rifai, and Sultan Hassan Mosque From Luxor

After your arrival at Cairo airport you will meet one of the expert representatives who will take you in a private air-conditioned car to immerse yourself in the civilization of Cairo.

Our guide will meet you at the beginning and take you on a tour to the Rifai Mosque, which is located next to the Sultan Hassan Mosque on Citadel Square. Khushiyar Hanim, Khedive Ismail's mother, built the mosque in the 19th century to match the Mamluk neighbor's splendor. The mosque is distinguished by its distinctive architectural design, which features tall columns and elaborate ornamentation on the outer walls. The mosque has a distinct historical flavor because of the royal family members who have called it home, including King Farouk and King Fouad I. The trip was a fascinating cultural and spiritual experience as we explored its calm corridors and considered its architectural elements.

Our next stop on the tour will be the Sultan Hassan Mosque and Madrasa, one of Cairo's most prominent specimens of Islamic architecture. In the fourteenth century AD, Sultan Hassan ibn al-Nasser Muhammad ibn Qalawun ordered its construction,. and it has four iwans that represent the four schools of Islamic thinking... The mosque's architecture is distinctive. The magnificent Islamic embellishments, stained glass windows, and stuccoes that highlight the splendor of Mamluk architecture during the Mamluk era can be seen while exploring its spacious hallways.

Our journey will culminate with a visit to the Great Pyramid, also known as the Pyramid of Cheops, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The splendor of ancient Egyptian society is demonstrated by the three massive pyramids. When it was constructed, its height was roughly 146.5 meters. We then proceeded to the smallest of the three, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and then to the Pyramid of Khafre, which is identified by the remains of the limestone shell at its peak. We also liked to view the Sphinx, which is thought to be a representation of King Khafre and combines the head of a man with the body of a lion..

We also enjoy seeing the Sphinx, which is said to represent King Khafre and incorporates a lion's body and a man's head. We will explore the pyramids against an intriguing historical setting, snap pictures as mementos, and ride camels (optional).

Finally, we will transfer you back to Cairo International Airport to catch your flight to Luxor.
