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 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.
The tour will end with a visit to the famous bazaar and market Khan el-Khalili, which is located in Cairo’s historic district. The bazaar area, which was named after one of Cairo’s multiple old caravanserais and was originally a hub of commerce during the Mamluk era, has since developed to become one of the city’s main tourist destinations for both Egyptians and foreign visitors.
