Opt for a private sightseeing tour to cover more top Cairo attractions like the Egyptian Museum, Coptic Cairo, and the city’s old market in less time.

With air-conditioned transportation, get a chance to witness the city’s ancient, Christian and Jewish history, accompanied by a private guide who will give you undivided attention. A full-day tour of historic Cairo is worth the experience, with lunch, admission, and transport included.

Expect to see the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, which boasts an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities, with 120,000 items and a representative amount on display. The rest is stored in storerooms. Built-in 1901, the museum is one of the largest in the region, and visitors can explore it as of March 2019 before it was superseded by the new Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza in 2020.

Coptic Cairo is an exceptional part of Old Cairo that comprises the Babylon Fortress, the Hanging Church, the Greek Church of St. George, and many other Coptic churches and historical sites. As per Christian tradition, the Holy Family visited this area and stayed at the site of Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church (Abu Serga).

Coptic Cairo was a stronghold for Christianity in Egypt until the Islamic era. However, most churches’ current buildings in Coptic Cairo were built after the Muslim conquest of Egypt in the 7th century.

    Начну свой отзыв с того, что я историк и пропустить возможность посетить данную экскурсию я просто не могла. Как и положено наша поездка началась с того, что нас встретили с гостиницы и повезли по заданной программе экскурсии, думаю, что писывать все достопримечательности которые мы посетили нет смысла, так как вы можете увидеть их на данном сайте. Могу сказать, что поездка меня очень сильно впечатлила. С нами был замечательный экскурсовод, благодаря которому я узнала много новой информации для себя, которая в будущем мне обязательно пригодится, так же в мне удалось в живую увидеть историю , нашего многогранного мира. Во время поездки мы посетили ресторан, где вкусно пообедали. Я Осталась очень довольна ,спасибо организаторам за такую интересную, а главное познавательную поездку.
