Also, tour the Sphinx, the enigmatic statue that has fascinated people for centuries. Another must-visit destination is the Valley Temple, where the king was mummified.
An excursion to the Egyptian Museum is also highly recommended. The museum houses the world’s most precious and extensive collection of Egyptian art, featuring over 250,000 artefacts spanning 5000 years of history.
Next on the itinerary is visiting Dahshur, Memphis, and Saqqara. Dahshur is home to the Bent Pyramid, the first attempt at building a smooth-sided pyramid, and the Red Pyramid, an entirely constructed, free-standing pyramid. Memphis, the first capital of Egypt, was a centre of rule and culture for over 3000 years, while Saqqara is home to Djoser’s Step Pyramid, the world’s oldest central stone structure.
Afterwards, you can enjoy a private tour of Islamic and Coptic Cairo. Explore the medieval Islamic monuments through El Darb Al Ahmar Street, where you can discover the Islamic Sabil, Madrasa, Wekala, Khan, Bayts, and other monuments. Walk through A Moez Street, a UNESCO world heritage site, and visit Al Hakem Mosque, Al Aqmar Mosque, Sabil Mohamed Ali, and Al Azhar Mosque, the main mosque in Egypt.
Visit the Coptic area of Old Cairo, one of the oldest Christian collections in the world. The “Hanging Church,” dedicated to the Virgin Mary, contains 110 holy icons depicting beautiful religious scenes. Also, see the “Saint Sergius and Bacchus Church,” which is believed to have been built where the holy family rested at the end of their journey into Egypt. Finally, visit the “Jewish Synagogue of Ben Ezra,” which gained importance from its Geniza (store room), containing a treasure of abandoned Hebrew secular and sacred manuscripts.
