The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square is the oldest archaeological museum in the Middle East and holds one of the world’s greatest collections of Pharaonic antiquities. With your Egyptologist you’ll see the Narmer Palette — the document of Egypt’s unification under one king — the complete burial treasures of Yuya and Thuya, the statues of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure who built the Giza Pyramids, and halls of sarcophagi, papyri, and royal jewelry spanning from the Predynastic Period to the Greco-Roman era.

No — the complete Tutankhamun collection, including the golden mask, has moved to the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, where it is displayed together for the first time. The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir remains essential for masterpieces like the Narmer Palette and the treasures of Yuya and Thuya. To see Tutankhamun, choose one of Egypt Best Vacations’ Grand Egyptian Museum tours — or combine both museums across two Cairo days.

The Citadel of Saladin is medieval Cairo’s great fortress, begun in 1176 and never conquered in its history. Inside, you’ll visit the Mosque of Muhammad Ali — the alabaster mosque whose domes and minarets define Cairo’s skyline — and enjoy panoramic views over the entire city from the Citadel’s ramparts, with the pyramids visible on clear days.

Khan El-Khalili is the Middle East’s most famous bazaar, trading since the Mamluk era. Expect handmade brass and copperwork, alabaster, spices, perfume oils, jewelry, papyrus, and textiles — alongside classic souvenirs. Your Egypt Best Vacations guide can point you to the authentic workshops, and friendly haggling is part of the experience.

Yes — the tour is fully private with Egypt Best Vacations. You travel in your own air-conditioned vehicle with a licensed Egyptologist guide dedicated to your group alone, so you set the pace at the museum, the Citadel, and the bazaar.
