our tour guide will pick up from your hotel to enjoy The Egyptian Museum is the oldest archaeological museum in the Middle East, and houses the largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities in the world. The museum displays an extensive collection spanning from the Predynastic Period to the Greco-Roman Era. The architect of the building was selected through an international competition in 1895, which was the first of its kind, and was won by the French architect, Marcel Dourgnon. The museum was inaugurated in 1902 by Khedive Abbas Helmy II, and has become a historic landmark in downtown Cairo, and home to some of the world’s most magnificent ancient masterpieces.
Khan el-Khalili is a famous bazaar and souq in the historic center of Cairo, Egypt. Established as a center of trade in the Mamluk era and named for one of its several historic caravanserais, the bazaar district has since become one of Cairo's main attractions for tourists and Egyptians alike.have lunch koshry , then back to hotel

Beautiful! Treasure of Tutankhamun still visible, the mask, two coffins one of which solid gold. Be careful now the pictures next to the mask is paid! And yes, take a ticket at the entrance for the photo, inside more ticket counter. You have to go very early in the morning or early afternoon otherwise the tail assured!

I book this tour -( car + driver + lunch option) Had been spending several days in Egypt , this last few days .. (wanting something light and easy .) My driver (mr eslam) - punctual, able to speak English and good driving. Went to Egyptian museum and khalili bazaar - he left me at the entrance , give me plenty of times enjoying myself browsing around the antiquities. However - not mention in the tour descriptions were several stop sessions at perfume shop/ papyrus shop and Egyptian cotton shop - which I had to tell my driver I don’t wish to go and wasn’t part of my plan. Lunch - a take away koshary.

We had two days of touring with this guide, and it was a wonderful experience. We visited Saqqura, Memphis, the Great Pyramids, Graet Sphinx, Old Cairo, Citadel and the Bazaar. I can't really say a bad word about our tour guide, he was fantastic. Arrived on time, was very friendly, that was a good first impression. He led us to the car, with our own personal driver dedicated to us for the day, the car was fully (and effectively) air-conditioned, very clean and comfortable, and this is apparent when we had to get through the rough rural roads. And to the tour itself, it was very informative and, because our guide is an Egyptologist, any questions we had he was able to answer with ease. He walked with us throughout our visits, waiting for us (mostly my wife) to take pictures, helping us to take some as well. Anywhere we wanted to visit, or anything we wanted to buy, we can. The tour was flexible. The food: On our first day of tours, he brought us to this restaurant next to the Saqqura Pyramids, and it was by far the best meal we had since we came to Egypt. Hesham also made sure that we had water to drink, that we are OK etc. Hesham was very hospitable, friendly and will not rush you. And at the end of our 2-day tour, he did something what no other guides we met has ever done: This is not a usual thing for a tour guide to do, but he invited us to his home. His lovely wife cooked us a traditional Egyptian meal after that, we even had a go on one of those Indian taxi cart ( I forgot the name). This was about 9 o'clock, and the tour was supposed to have finished by 3/4 o'clock. Like I said, simply because he was very friendly and hospitable, and look at you not as a customer but a friend, that's what make me want to recommend this company over the rest. Thanks again Hesham
thank you so museum for receiving your review with your kind words about me hope to see you again for longer trip around luxor to aswan
