Overview
Welcome to Umm Al Dunya – The Mother of the World: a mishmash of people, noise, and pure unadulterated LIFE.
At first glance, Cairo is a cacophony of disharmony, but once you immerse yourself in her irresistible energy, it all comes together in a harmonious orchestra of joy. Home to almost 22 million inhabitants, Cairo is one of the largest and oldest cities in both Africa and the Middle East.
Trip Itinerary
This private tour gives you the chance to discover the stark beauty of this magnificent city. Situated firmly on the Nile river, Cairo is famous for its rich history, preserved in the fabulous medieval Islamic city and Coptic sites in Old Cairo.
The Egyptian Museum in the centre of town is a must-see, with its hundreds of thousands of ancient Egyptian artefacts. Shopping at the Khan al-Khalili bazaar is another must on this trip, and no trip to Cairo is complete without a visit to the Giza Pyramids and the infamous Sphinx.
Day 1
Arrive at Cairo airport.
You will be met and assisted by our representative throughout the immigration and customs formalities, then transfer by coach to the hotel for your first night in Cairo.
Day 2
In the morning, enjoy an open buffet for breakfast or call room service and have them deliver your food straight to your door for breakfast-in-bed.
Afterwards, our guide will meet you in the lobby so you can begin your adventure. We visit the Egyptian Museum, which is home to the most extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities in the world. It has 120,000 items on display, including the treasure of King Tut Ankh Amoun.
Then we drive to nearby Giza to visit the Pyramids and the famous Sphinx. We also make a stop at a secret little temple nearby.
Day 3
After breakfast, we take a drive to old Cairo where you will visit the old churches, synagogue, and then tour the Citadel and Mohamed Ali mosque.
Then we make a long stop at Khan El Khalili bazaar, an ancient market, which, in our opinion, is the most entertaining part of Cairo.
Enjoy a shopping spree and splurge knowing that your purchases are at the lowest possible prices and that any money you spend here goes directly to Egyptian families and preserving this country’s great heritage.

After breakfast, we bid you adieu and transfer you back to the airport for your final departure.
