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 like mask of Tutankhamen , only statue of king khufu , statues of djoser , akhnaten and etc ..
Then visit The Citadel Of Cairo Where you visit The Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali Pasha. The Citadel of Sultan Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi (Saladin) is one of the most iconic monuments in Islamic Cairo, and among the most impressive defensive fortresses dating to the Middle Ages. Its strategic location on the Muqattam Hills gave it a formidable defensive position, and offered, as it still does today, an unrestricted panoramic view of Cairo. Sultan Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi was the first to order the construction of a fortress over the Muqattam Hills in (572 AH/ 1176 AD), but it was not completed during his lifetime. This was achieved during the reign of Sultan al-Kamel ibn al-Adel (604 AH/1207 AD) who decided to reside in it, making it the official residence of the rulers of Egypt. In the mid-nineteenth century, Khedive Ismail moved the official residence to Abdeen Palace in downtown Cairo.
You will visit the mosque of Mohamed Ali pasha built in ottoman period its Turkish style , this mosque also called alabaster mosque
Khan el-Khalili is a famous bazaar and souq in the historic center of Cairo, Egypt.

Had the most packed day filled with memories, Reem made sure everything was covered. From the Citadel, to the pyramids, to the GEM, then the Nile River to the Khan El Khalil. Reem is so knowledgeable, took time to explain everything in detail, and made sure I fulfilled my bucket list. Muhammed drove us the whole day safely. Very calm and nice guy. Don't think I would have completed everything without these two. They made sure I saw Cairo in one Day. I'm the most luckiest girl to be paired with them.

The experience in Cairo has been very good, mainly in terms of visits to the Egyptian Museum, the Citadela and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, where our guide Mariam has made us the experience totally enriching., also special mention to our driver Mimo, who has been punctual, respectful and has given us security throughout the route. Lunch was very nice in a very nice place. Personally the only thing that would have changed is the visit to the Jewelry Store, that of the papyrus and essences have been of our interest, but other travelers may not find it so interesting. Finally we have requested to be dropped off at the airport and again they have met with great punctuality. In these tours much of the experience is done by the Guide and the driver, in our case has been very good and we would repeat. So our experience is recommended.

Did the Egyptian Museum with Ahmed and it was an amazing experience, very informative and made sure we seen what we wanted to see. Most impressive was the mask of Tutankhamun - but all of it was definitely worth seeing. An amazing day all over. Was very busy at the museum but he made sure to keep with us and that we still got to see everything

There's so much to see in the Egyptian museum, so much history in there, although tut's items obviously are the biggest attraction, there's so much more to see including the silver coffin which we really liked. We also visited Khan el khalili, which Ahmed helped us navigate the crowd and found us the best shops to go to, had he not been there I'm sure I would have been lost within 5 seconds! We also visited the Citadel, it's such a beautiful place, it's sort of a hidden gem for tourists
