Cairo day tour
A day in the city itself rather than out at the pyramids: the royal mummies in their own gallery, the Citadel above the rooftops, and the oldest bazaar in Cairo as the lamps come on.
Day by day
We begin at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation in Fustat, where the Royal Mummies Hall holds twenty-two kings and queens in a room designed to be quiet. Lunch nearby, then up to the Citadel of Salah al-Din for the Mosque of Muhammad Ali and the view across to the pyramids on a clear day. We end in Khan el-Khalili with time for tea at El Fishawy and a walk through the lanes as the lanterns come on.
Every day can move. Tell us where you’d like more time.
Prices are per person and vary with dates, group size and hotel choice. Your quote lists everything line by line.
The practical things travellers ask us most. Your trip designer covers the rest before you fly.
Churches, monasteries and mosques ask for covered shoulders and knees. A light scarf does both jobs and helps in the sun.
October to April is the comfortable season. In summer, Luxor and Aswan are very hot, so we start early and rest at midday.
We meet you as you land, or at the Taba border for Sinai trips, and walk you through visa and customs.
Early starts are flagged ahead of time. Tell us where you’d rather slow down and we’ll rebalance the days.
Make it yours
Change the dates, add a day in Sinai, swap the cruise for a dahabiya. We’ll send back a revised day-by-day plan.
