MEMPHIS

During the oldest part of the Pharaonic times, the so-called Old Kingdom, Memphis was the capital of Egypt. Here the temple to the creator god Ptah was erected, a temple that is said to have been three times the size of Karnak, and today’s outdoor museum contains artifacts from the old city and the temple

SAKKARA

Sakkara was the main necropolis of the city. Here we will see Pharaoh Zoser’s enormous funeral complex with the Step Pyramid, the first monumental stone building in the history of mankind. We will also see a mastaba tomb of a noble man showing everyday life in ancient Egypt, without it, a visit to Sakkara would be incomplete.

GIZA PYRAMIDS

The most famous sight in Egypt, the Pyramids at the Giza Plateau, dating back to 2500 B.C. One of the seven classic wonders of the world, they are the oldest. The visit will take us to the highest point of the plateau to have a panoramic view of the area, to one of the three pyramids (Cheops, Kephren or Mycerinos), where those who wish may enter, as well as the valley temple of Kephren and the mysterious Sphinx.

PAPYRUS INSTITUTE

Papyrus was very important to the ancient Egyptians as it helped transform Egyptian society in many ways and helped us learn their knowledge. Dr Hassan Ragab finally opened his Papyrus Institute in 1968 in attempt to re-establish this ancient technique and to show the puplic how it was done.

NILE DINNER CRUISE (optional)

Of course, the galleries with the treasures of Tutankhamon will be carefully explained.

MOHAMED ALI CITADEL

One of Cairo’s most popular tourist attractions is the Citadel, located on a spur of limestone that had been detached from its parent Moqattam Hills by quarrying. The citadel is one of the world’s greatest monuments to medieval warfare, as well as highly visible landmark on Cairo’s eastern skyline. Particulary when viewed from the backside, it reveals a very medieval character.

ALABASTER MOSQUE (optional)

Completed in 1848, The Ottoman-style Muhammad Ali Mosque or Alabaster Mosque is the most noticeable in all of Cairo, for more than 150 years it has dominated the skyline. The mosque is classically Turkish in style, reflecting its Ottoman origins. The cascading domes, slender minarets, constellation of hanging globe lamps, richy decorated ceiling and spacious interior are more than amazing. And recalls the great mosques of Istanbul.
