Cairo is the largest city on the African continent, the capital of Egypt situated on the banks of the River Nile, the life source of Egypt and the greatest river in Africa. It is romantically known as the City of a Thousand Minarets but is a place of extremes filled with ancient landmarks, snarling traffic, ornate mosques, and glittering modern skyscrapers. Cairo harbors a treasure trove of experiences that cannot be replicated anywhere else.
Giza Plateau
Located approximately 20 km west of the city center the Giza Pyramid complex comprises the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and the Great Pyramid of Khufu. The latter is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. All three pyramids are guarded by the Sphinx and date back approximately 4,500 years.
Cairo by private limousine to The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids. There are three known chambers inside the Great Pyramid, the King’s Chamber and the Queen’s chamber and one unfinished. Tourists can enter the Great Pyramid via the Robbers’ Tunnel which is approximately 27 meters long and ends at the blocking stones in the Ascending Passage.
It is believed The Great Sphinx was erected by Pharoah Khafre. There is an inscription on a pink granite slab between the paws of the Sphinx which tells the story of how the statue was saved from the sands of time by Pharoah Thurmose IV.
Cairo by private limousine to Grand Egyptian Museum:
Located just off Tahrir Square the Grand Egyptian Museum is home to an incredible collection of artefacts relating to Egypt’s history. Highlights include the museum’s collection of royal mummies and, of course, the treasures retrieved from the tomb of the boy king Tutankhamun. Here you can feast your eyes on his golden sarcophagus and the golden funerary mask and be amazed by his personal possessions which still survive thousands of years after his death.
