Cairo Day Tours: Journey Through Time in Egypt’s Capital
1. The Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx – Icons of Ancient Power
No trip to Cairo is complete without visiting the Pyramids of Giza, just outside the city. These monumental structures, built over 4,500 years ago, are among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Standing beside the towering Great Pyramid, visitors are transported back to the age of pharaohs. Just nearby, the Sphinx gazes eternally into the desert, an enigmatic guardian of Egypt’s ancient legacy.
2. The Egyptian Museum – Discover Treasures of the Pharaohs
Located in Tahrir Square, the Egyptian Museum is a treasure trove of more than 120,000 ancient artifacts, including the golden mask of Tutankhamun. With curated exhibits spanning thousands of years, this museum is a must-stop on any Cairo day tour, offering an immersive experience into the heart of ancient Egypt.
3. Cairo Tower – A Modern Landmark with a Breathtaking View
One of the highlights of modern Cairo sightseeing is the iconic Cairo Tower, standing at 187 meters (614 feet) tall. It offers panoramic views of the city skyline, the Nile River, and even the distant pyramids on a clear day. Located on Gezira Island in Zamalek, the tower is open to visitors throughout the week.
