The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities contains many important pieces of ancient Egyptian history. It houses the world's largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities, and many treasures of King Tutankhamen. The present building of the museum constructed by a French architect is situated in Tahrir Square and is already more than 100 years old. We will discover three main collections of the museum such as Old kingdom, Middle kingdom, New kingdom plus king Tut Anch Amun collection. We will spend around 2,5 hours in the museum.

Do you know that the Great Pyramid of King Cheops is the only survived wonder from the seven wonders of the ancient world? Also we will have a look at other pyramids of the area: the pyramid of Chephren and the pyramid of Mycerinus, as well as small pyramids of the queens.

A brilliant tour that perfectly covers Cairo's top attractions in one day. The schedule is tight but very well-managed. Our guide was professional and informative, making the history at the Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids incredibly engaging. The included lunch was tasty, and the optional Nile boat ride was a pleasant addition. The shopping stop felt a bit commercial, but it was brief and not pressured. The punctuality of the pickups and drop-offs was impressive. Highly recommended for those with limited time who want to see the essentials without any hassle.
