Overview

This is the short break that covers Cairo properly. Day one is the Old Kingdom: Giza, the Sphinx, Saqqara's step pyramid and Memphis. Day two is everything else — the Grand Egyptian Museum in the morning, then the Citadel, Coptic Cairo and Khan El Khalili in the afternoon.

One night in a central four-star hotel with breakfast is included, along with all transfers, entries and lunches. It works particularly well as a stopover between long-haul flights, and we can collect you from and return you to the airport at no extra cost.

Highlights

  • Giza, the Sphinx, Saqqara and Memphis on day one
  • Grand Egyptian Museum and medieval Cairo on day two
  • One night in a four-star hotel with breakfast
  • All airport transfers included
  • Private guide and vehicle throughout
