1. The Giza Plateau: Icons of Eternity

Experience the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World. Marvel at the Great Pyramids of Giza, architectural masterpieces aligned with the stars over 4,500 years ago. Stand before the Great Sphinx, the legendary guardian of royal wisdom, and explore the Solar Barque, a ceremonial vessel built for a Pharaoh’s journey to the afterlife. As the sun sets, the plateau transforms into a breathtaking golden landscape that captures the timeless spirit of Egypt.

2. The Egyptian National Museum: A Golden Legacy

Step into a treasure trove of over 120,000 artifacts spanning 5,000 years of history. This Neoclassical landmark houses the world’s most famous archaeological find: the Treasures of Tutankhamun. From his iconic golden mask to ancient mummies and papyrus scrolls, the museum offers an unparalleled deep dive into the art and soul of Ancient Egyptian civilization.

3. Coptic Old Cairo: A Tapestry of Faith

Walk through the spiritual heart of the city where diverse religions have coexisted for centuries. Visit the 7th-century Hanging Church, suspended over a Roman fortress, and the Coptic Museum, home to exquisite Christian art. This district also hosts the historic Ben Ezra Synagogue, a site steeped in biblical legend, offering an authentic glimpse into Egypt’s rich religious heritage.

4. The Nile: The Lifeblood of History

No visit is complete without sailing the world’s longest river. Whether by a traditional felucca or a modern cruiser, a Nile boat trip reveals Cairo’s skyline from a serene perspective.
