About this trip
A short, guided introduction to Cairo and Giza with an Egyptologist doing the explaining and door-to-door transfers taking care of the logistics.
Day one is ancient Egypt at its core: the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, the Valley Temple and Saqqara. Day two moves into the city itself, taking in the Egyptian Museum and both the Islamic and Coptic quarters of old Cairo.
Four days is enough to cover the essentials without rushing, with someone on hand throughout to put the sights in context.
