Itineraries

Your Egyptian Museum & Old Cairo Tour with Deluxe Tours Egypt begins with a premium pickup service from your hotel. With your Egyptologist tour guide, you will embark on a journey through the different periods of Egypt’s history in a luxurious A/C vehicle.

Your tour starts at the legendary Egyptian Museum, located in the heart of Tahrir Square. This iconic red-walled landmark has stood since 1901 as the main guardian of Egypt’s heritage. It is home to the greatest collection of monuments and artifacts from the Pharaonic period, reflecting the artistic and cultural evolution that has taken place over thousands of years.

Enjoy a high-class lunch served at a selected restaurant, where you will have the chance to savor authentic Egyptian cuisine in preparation for an exciting afternoon of discovery.

Next, you will visit the Salah El-Din Citadel, a magnificent fortress that served as the seat of Egypt’s government until the 1860s. Built between 1176 and 1182 AD, this impressive stronghold offers a commanding view of the city’s skyline.

Inside the fortress lies the Mohamed Ali Mosque, also known as the "Alabaster Mosque." This architectural masterpiece, built between 1830 and 1848 AD, was inspired by the Blue Mosque in Istanbul and is famous for its unique alabaster walls that shine brilliantly under the Egyptian sun.
