Most Cairo tours begin on the western edge of the city, where the golden sands of the Sahara Desert meet the fertile green landscape of the Nile Valley. A guided visit to the Giza Plateau provides a powerful introduction to Egypt’s Old Kingdom and its legendary pharaohs. Standing before the Great Pyramid of Khufu, travelers can fully appreciate the immense scale of the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Expert guides often continue the journey through the Valley Temple before leading visitors to the Great Sphinx, whose majestic lion-bodied form has stood guard over the pyramids for nearly 5,000 years, making it one of the most iconic symbols of ancient Egypt.
Beyond the pyramids, Cairo tours usually include visits to world-class museums such as the Egyptian Museum or the Grand Egyptian Museum, where priceless artifacts, royal mummies and treasures from ancient tombs showcase the depth of Egypt’s historical legacy. Cultural exploration is another essential part of Cairo tours, with travelers experiencing Islamic Cairo’s historic mosques, medieval streets and traditional architecture, as well as Coptic Cairo’s ancient churches that reflect the city’s religious diversity. Walking through areas like Khan El Khalili Bazaar gives visitors a chance to experience local life firsthand with colorful markets, traditional crafts, spices and authentic Egyptian souvenirs.
