2 Day Cairo Tour – A Life Time Excursion

We’ll begin our tour in the second Day with a visit to the Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx, two of the most well-known tourist attractions in the world since Roman times. In each of these majestic structures, a monarch from the fourth dynasty was buried (c.2613–2494 BC). The Great Pyramid of Giza was built for King Khufu (c. 2589-2566 BC), and the other two were built for his son Khafre and grandson Menkaure. The first monument taller than Khufu’s pyramid would not be completed for another 3,800 years!

Then we’ll explore the Egyptian Museum, which houses the world’s greatest collection of Pharaonic artefacts and is the Middle East’s oldest archaeological museum. The museum houses a massive collection from the Predynastic to the Greco-Roman eras. The museum houses a rare collection of 5000 years of art, which is regarded the world’s greatest and most valuable collection of Egyptian art. Almost 250,000 real artefacts are on display, including an exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamun’s trove of riches, gold, and jewelry, which had been sealed in his tomb for over 3,500 years before being discovered in the 1920s when his tomb was excavated.

Then we’ll discover Coptic Cairo including Ben Ezra Synagogue and the Hanging Church which is also known as Al-Moallaqa. Because it was constructed on the Roman Fortress’s southern gate, it is known as the Hanging Church. The Roman stronghold’ ruins were covered with a foundation made of layers of stones and logs from palm trees. The Hanging Church is a distinctive building with a wooden roof shaped like Noah’s ark. The Coptic Patriarch lived in the Hanging Church from the seventh to the thirteenth centuries. Important elections and religious ceremonies have been held in Al-Moallaqa.
