Start your exciting day with a morning visit to the legendary Giza Pyramids, where you’ll marvel at the grandeur of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the smaller Pyramid of Menkaure. With your guide, delve into the fascinating history and symbolism of these world wonders and stand in awe before the majestic Great Sphinx. Take a relaxing walk around the plateau and enjoy the panoramic views of the ancient structures against the modern city skyline of Cairo. For the more adventurous, optional camel rides or a visit to a pyramid chamber (at extra cost) can be organized.
The last destination of the day is the Cairo Tower, a defining modern city icon. Ride the elevator to the top for a breathtaking 360-degree view of Cairo, with the Nile, distant pyramids, and the city spread out below. Once you've taken it in, head to Downtown Cairo for a stroll through the heart of the city. Stroll past colonial buildings, lively squares like Tahrir, and charming old bookstores and coffeehouses. Uncover Cairo's 19th and 20th centuries and its fusion of Egyptian and European architectural styles.
As the walking tour concludes, it's now time to treat yourself to a genuine local meal—a classic Koshari lunch. Stop by a busy Egyptian eatery and enjoy this tasty national dish, made of rice, pasta, lentils, crispy onions, and spicy tomato sauce. Your guide will explain the dish’s cultural significance and suggest local drinks or desserts to complete the meal. After lunch, take time to relax or shop for souvenirs before your transfer back to your hotel, ending a day that blends ancient wonder, modern marvels, and authentic Egyptian flavor.
