Cairo Top Tours

on

Cairo has to be part of your Egypt travel route. Plan spending two full days in the city. Ignore everyone’s opinion about the city and discover it your way!

1. The Pyramids and Great Sphinx of Giza (Cairo Top Tours)

The Giza Pyramid complex is located at the outskirts of Cairo. With a height of 139 meters, the Great Pyramid can easily be spotted from the city. Pyramids are royal tombs, and Egypt counts 138 of them! Discoveries, like mummies, are still done in this area.
The Great Sphinx of Giza is a giant limestone statue showing a mythical creature with the head of a human and body of a lion. The iconic symbol of Egypt and a real must-see while visiting Egypt.

2. Wander at the world’s oldest open-air market (Cairo Top Tours)

Experience the sounds and smells at one of the world’s oldest open-air markets. The Khan El-Khalili souk is a maze filled with spices, food, clothing, leather bags, jewelry, and antiques. This Souk (Arabic for open-air market) is the place to go souvenir shopping but get ready to bargain. You should pay around 50% of the original price. Do not follow a vendor to the back of his shop; this usually is a trick.

3. Mosque of Ibn Tulun – surprising thing to do in Cairo

In the middle of a non-touristy neighborhood surrounded by dusty roads is one of the most beautiful mosques of Cairo, the Ibn Tulun Mosque. A large mosque still having all its old details. Get an aerial view from the nearby tower or walk around on the second level.

4. Back in time at the Egyptian Museum

The Egyptian Museum is home to the world’s greatest collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts. You can even see real preserved mummies in the mummy. It is a highly recommended thing to do in Cairo. Plan about spending 2 – 4 hours in the museum.

5. The Hanging Church (Cairo Top Tours)

Built on top of an ancient Roman fortress is the reason why it is named ‘The Hanging Church’. The Roman church with beautiful ornaments and mosaic paintings is still in use. In fact, 10% of the population in Egypt is Christian. Cairo has a Roman quarter where churches are mixed with mosques.

6. The Mosque of Muhammad Ali (Cairo Top Tours)

Located on a hilltop inside the Cairo Citadel is the Mosque of Muhammad Ali. The impressive limestone mosque is a beautiful site to visit for a couple of hours and has a view overlooking the entire city.
