The experience

Day one takes you to the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx, then to the Egyptian Museum to see King Tut's treasures. Lunch is included. The second day shifts to Old Cairo: you'll walk through the Coptic Cairo sites, visit the Mosque of Muhammad Ali at the Cairo Citadel, and explore the Egyptian Museum if you haven't already. The tour ends at Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, the historic souk in the old city where you can bargain for antiques, jewelry and handmade souvenirs while watching the rhythm of local market life.

A private guide travels with you both days and speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German or Russian. You choose the language at checkout. The air-conditioned minivan picks you up from your hotel and drops you back there at the end, so you don't arrange separate transport. Lunch is part of both days. The pace is built around walking through Old Cairo on day two, so comfortable shoes matter.
