Highlights
-
The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities - From there, your private Cairo city tour will take you to the museum, where you’ll head back in time to the world of the ancient Egyptians. Your local guide will regale you with stories of ancient Egyptian beliefs, as you examine thousands of artefacts in one of the greatest museums in the world.
You’ll see not just collections from the era of the pharaohs, but also artefacts ranging from prehistoric to Roman times — in fact, there are roughly 120,000 objects in total in the entire museum! Mind-blowing.
Of course, for most, the highlight of all these unearthed treasures is the funerary artefacts from Egypt’s most infamous king: the one and only King Tutankhamun. Get ready to be dazzled by golden gems.
Once you’ve wandered the halls, your private Cairo tour will take you for a lunch break of some koshary, one of the most popular dishes in Egypt.

Great tour guides - We had a great time on our tour of the museum and the pyramids and sphinx. Both our guides, Meigo and Dalia were fantastic. They had a wealth of information and took their time explaining everything to us. Would highly recommend both of them.

Treasures of Tut - Our tour guide Ms. Marwa gave us an excellent tour of the Egyptian Museum of antiquities. Marwa’s English language was good & seems to be a very nice young lady.

Best day ever - Our guide was extremely knowledgable and happy to give recommendations. The driver was great and friendly. The Felucca ride was so relaxing to have at the end of a very busy day.
The free time at the museum was great too!

Treasures Tut and more! - What a fantastic day! For someone who loves history then the Cairo Museum is a must. Our fantastic guide Akhmad Khamid was an absolute wealth of knowledge and we had a great day with him. After spending some time at the museum we went to a historic coffee shop to people watch, have our lunch followed by amazing coffee and try shisha (we were really bad at it!). Then we set sail along the Nile for our first felucca ride. An excellent day, really enjoyable!!

Fantastic Tour with knowledgeable guide - I was lucky enough to be the only person on this tour. My guide Mohamed Ebrahim catered for my every need, he had extensive knowledge on all things Egypt and didn’t leave any of my questions unanswered.
The Felucca ride at the end was a highlight, allowing us to escape the busy city center for some quiet time.
I highly recommend urban adventures, and will be doing more in the future.

Must do Tour in Cairo - On my first trip to Cairo, I did an amazing tour with Dalia. She was open to my suggestion of not going to the Cairo Museum because I had toured it already and instead took me to the Mohammad Ali Mosque. She was very knowledgeable and taught me many interesting facts. Then we walked around the historical downtown Cairo and saw where the Revolution happened. She explained the significance of the graffiti. We then went to an eatery and had kouchary, a traditional meal for the Egyptians. I loved it! Finally we took a felucca ride on the Nile. It was a perfect day for sailing with a lovely breeze. Last, we had a coffee together at a shop. Dalia has become a friend who I would highly recommend to you. She is warm, caring, flexible, and knowledgeable. If she is leading a tour, you can't go wrong. Kathy Shuey

Wonderful history - This tour was amazing. The amazing guide, Dalia, covered Egypt's history from ancient times through current history in the making. The felucca ride was a great experience as well.
I felt safe, welcomed, and privileged to take part in all.

Don’t book this tour 👎🏾 - Never showed and never made contact. No answer to calls or messages. Very disappointed and dissatisfied with the lack of communication and customer service.
