Description

Book this Islamic Cairo Day Tour and Egyptian Civilization Museum, embarking to the heart of Old Cairo, arriving there by one of the latest A/C vehicles driven by a licensed expert captain.

Wander amid the whole eras of Ancient Egypt in this one-day tour

Take remarkable photos, including shots with the Giza Pyramids from the Citadel of Saladin!

Immerse yourself in the details of ancient Egypt’s daily life of the Prehistory, the old kingdom, the middle kingdom, the modern kingdom, Greco-Roman, Christian, and Islamic periods up to Khedive Ismail in the Egyptian Civilization Museum

Meet the mummies of the most important kings and queens of ancient Egypt, including Ramses II, Hatshepsut, Seqenenre, who started the war against the Hyksos invasion, Ahmose, the son of Seqenenre, Thutmose I, Thutmose II, Thutmose III, Nefertari, and more than 50,000 artifacts.

Focus on the details of each statue—their eyes, facial features, and bodies; you will know the true meaning of dazzlement.

Your 15-year-of-experience Egyptologist from Golavita, who speaks your language fluently, tells you the story and the facts of each artifact and the biography of each mummy.

Arrive at Salah El-Din Citadel, which was built on the highest spot in Egypt. It is also a great time to spend amid the rich decorations of the Mohammed Ali Mosque.

Take outstanding photos with the panoramic view of Old Cairo, including the sight of the Giza Pyramids, which appear here.

Cross through El-Ftouh Gate, one of the three doors of Old Cairo, arriving at El Moez Street.

Spend some time in Khan El Khalili Bazaar. The brightness of the shiny handicrafts is teeming at the shops that are hundreds of years old, and the oriental incense wafts from everywhere. You can take a piece of this great history by buying a souvenir and taking beautiful photos.

Keep up to 30% of the tour price with Golavita due to being a local supplier.

Egyptian Civilization Museum and Islamic Cairo Tour Details

Pickup Point

At the pickup point you prefer, including your accommodation site, we arrive on time with the latest A/C vehicle driven by an expert and friendly captain. Meet your experienced Egyptologist and take your private seat in the vehicle, going ahead to Old Cairo.

The Egyptian Civilization Museum Stop 

One of the most beautiful museums in Egypt, it is not just a usual museum, but this spot narrates the history of Egypt since the prehistoric eras.

Wander amid two halls; the first one downstairs is for the mummies of the most important kings and queens of ancient Egypt, including Hatshepsut, Seqenenre, Ahmose son of Seqenenre, Ramesses II, Thutmose I, Thutmose II, and Thutmose III.

The essential hall is located upstairs, showing  50,000 artifacts, including statues about motherhood, jewelry, makeup tools, artifacts that tell about childhood in ancient Egypt, and also the roles of wives, daily life details, festivals, and ancient Egyptian beliefs and religions.

Salah El-Din Citadel Stop

This citadel was built on the highest point in Cairo and was the royal throne seat for 600 years.

Visit the Mohamed Ali Mosque, the Alabaster Mosque; it was named that due to being built by alabaster. 

Take the best photos in the Panorama of Saladin Citadel, which is the best point to see the whole of Cairo, including the Giza Pyramids. 

Lunchtime

Savor the Egyptian food and relish a tasty lunch meal at a high-quality local restaurant.

El Moez Street & Khan El Khalili Bazaar

Cross through El-Ftouh Gate and arrive at Al-Hakim Mosque, which contains the oldest minarets found in Egypt.

El Sabiel used to be a fountain from which passersby drank for free. Let your Egyptologist tell you facts about this unique site. 

Arrive at the Qalawun group, seeing a historical mosque and a Bayramistan “hospital for free,” a fountain from which passersby drank for free, a fountain from which animals drank for free, and historical minarets; you can take the best memorable photos with the history at this site. 

Meet the Sultan Inal Bath, a public bathhouse with amazing colorful decorations. 

Embark to Khan El Khalili for free time with shopping from lined small shops that are located on this Fatimid tile for hundreds of years.

(5/5)
The luxor 2 day trip was amazing. We have young children who struggled at times, but the guide and driver were fantastic. Everyone enjoyed the historical sites, and the hot air balloon ride was incredible. I would definitely recommend this trip and this company.
(5/5)
We booked a tour with Golavita, Mr Akram was very quick to respond to our questions and checked in with us daily to see how the tour was going. Waleed, the tour guide, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The bottles of water to keep us hydrated was also a very nice addition. The private transport was top class, modern air conditioned vehicles and friendly and helpful drivers.

We had booked airport transfers from Hurgada airport to our resort in May 2022 and our experience was excellent. What sets this company apart was the responsive service we got through WhatsApp messaging. You may not be aware of this but meeting a taxi driver at airport is not so easy or obvious as the security personnel does not allow drivers in or even standing by the entrance. It all was resolved easily by WhatsApp communication. I cannot overstate how important is having a rapid response when something does not go as you would expect. Thank you Ashraf. I am aware this company does much more than airport transfers: while I did not use any during my stay, I wouldnot hesitate to recommend this organisation to plan for your excursion needsin Hurghada. Update April 2023: Used them again for this trip booking through Hoppa, same excellent service.

Everything was great. We did Cairo tour and Luxor. 7 pers with driver and guide. The trips was tiring, but it was worth it. We received exactly the services reserved.

We went in the Safari and Paradise Island boat trip. Both were very well organised, great activities and the transfer made by driver was on time! I recommend especially the Paradise Island trip! The views on the island are amazing and the boat trip until there has such grest service on the boat (snorkeling, lunch, drinks).
(5/5)
Great service. We had a wonderful time. Our guide Abdel Salam was very kind, spoke excellent English and shared his extensive knowledge with us. We had a private AC car. Visited most of the main sites in Cairo over two days. Would highly recommend.
