Day Tour to Pyramids, Egyptian Museum &Citadel

Your private 8-hour tour with Nile Empire begins with a fascinating introduction to each of the great pyramids of Giza: Cheops, Khafre and Menkaure. A short drive to the city side of the plateau finds you standing at the feet of the Sphinx, the enigmatic symbol of Egypt.

Continue to Cairo’s famous Egyptian Museum that houses 165,000 Egyptian artifacts, but the priceless treasures of King Tutankhamun are the highlight. His six gilded coffins dominate the main hall, while his magnificent death mask is the star attraction. Your guide will introduce you to the museum’s most important pieces before you have free time to explore at your leisure.

Then move to visit The Alabaster Mosque at the Citadel of Salah el-Din, which sits atop a limestone hill overlooking Cairo and is the most important mosque in the city. Still used as a place of worship today by the Muslims of Cairo, the architectural masterpiece opens its doors to visitors of all faiths. Finish your trip and get dropped off back at your hotel.
