After enjoying a delicious breakfast, check out from your hotel and transfer to Luxor Airport to catch your flight back to Cairo. Upon arrival, your private Egyptologist tour guide will escort you to continue your luxury adventure by visiting some of the most remarkable landmarks in Cairo.
Begin with the Egyptian Museum, a true treasure in the heart of Cairo built in 1901. This magnificent museum houses an extraordinary collection of ancient artifacts, shedding light on the wonders of Egyptian civilization and preserving the glory of its kings, queens, and gods.
For lunch, relax and dine at a wonderful local restaurant, enjoying the flavors of Egypt before resuming your journey.
Continue your tour with the Hanging Church, one of Cairo’s oldest churches, also known as the Church of the Virgin Mary. Built in the 5th century AD on the southern gatehouses of Babylon’s Roman fortress, this 30-foot-high church is famed for its staircase design and remarkable artistic architecture.
Next, visit the Amr Ibn Al-As Mosque, the oldest mosque in Egypt, founded in 641 AD and continuously renovated over the centuries. Located in Fustat, Old Cairo, it stands as a testament to the magnificence of Islamic architecture and the enduring legacy of the Islamic civilization in Egypt.
Then explore the Ben Ezra Synagogue, a rare and historic Jewish temple that dates back to 882 AD. The synagogue was built on the site believed to be where Moses was found by the Pharaoh’s daughter and contains exquisite Aramaic, Hebrew, and Judeo-Arabic manuscripts, as well as stunning architectural details.
Afterward, visit the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC), inaugurated in 2020 in Fustat. Home to over 50,000 artifacts, it features the Hall of Mummies, showcasing the history of 28 royal figures and offering an unforgettable journey through Egypt’s 5,000-year-old civilization.
Walk along Al Muizz Street, a shining example of Fatimid-era architecture from the 10th century AD, now a vibrant open-air museum filled with historic houses, galleries, and charming cafés, reflecting the grandeur of Islamic Egypt.
Finally, conclude your day with a visit to the Khan El-Khalili Bazaar, one of the most majestic markets in the world. Built between 1382 and 1389 AD during the Mamluk period, the bazaar offers a magical shopping experience, filled with authentic Egyptian crafts, souvenirs, and treasures that celebrate the long and rich history of the civilization.
