About This Activity

Start your Cairo Historical Tour with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Your first stop is the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Old Cairo. This museum showcases 50,000 artifacts that chronicle the rich heritage and culture of Egypt, providing a comprehensive overview of the nation’s history.

Next, visit the impressive Saladin Citadel, a fortress built in 1183 to protect Cairo from invaders. As you explore this historic site, enjoy panoramic views of the city and the desert, while your guide shares stories about its construction and significance.

After this experience, you’ll be comfortably dropped off at your hotel or chosen location in Cairo or Giza.
