It's a very comprehensive activity. Ahmed Katab was our tour guide, and he's a charming guy. He explains very well in Spanish and takes you to the best places to eat and buy a little something. Highly recommended sightseeing tour.

About this tour
Discover Cairo's history on a private tour. See the Royal Mummies at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC), explore Old Cairo, and wander through Khan el-Khalili and Al-Mu'izz Street.
Begin your private day with pickup from your hotel or accommodation in Cairo or Giza. Travel comfortably with your private Egyptologist guide as you set out to experience several remarkable chapters of Egypt's history in a single day.
Your first stop is the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC), where Egypt's story unfolds across thousands of years. The experience reaches its most memorable moment inside the Royal Mummies Hall, where you can come face-to-face with some of Egypt's ancient rulers.
With your Egyptologist guide, discover the stories behind the people, objects, traditions, and civilizations that shaped Egypt.
Continue to Old Cairo, one of the city's most historically layered areas. Explore landmarks representing different communities and religious traditions, including the Hanging Church, Abu Serga Church, the Church of Saint Barbara, and Ben Ezra Synagogue.
Walk through time as you visit the iconic Hanging Church, stunningly suspended over the gatehouse of a Roman fortress. Continue your guided tour to the revered Church of Abu Serga, one of Cairo’s oldest Coptic churches, and conclude your historical deep dive at the historic Ben Ezra Synagogue.
Pause for lunch before continuing your journey through Cairo. Take a moment to relax, recharge, and enjoy a break from sightseeing.
Finish your experience in the atmosphere of Khan el-Khalili, where narrow lanes, traditional architecture, and centuries of history create one of Cairo's most memorable settings.
Continue to historic Al-Mu'izz Street, where your guide helps bring the surrounding architecture and stories into context. Take photographs, enjoy the atmosphere, and experience a side of Cairo where history is not confined to a museum.
At the end of your private experience, return comfortably to your accommodation with a deeper understanding of the many civilizations that shaped Cairo.

Overall had a fantastic time exploring on our second day of Egypt. Exploring the Mummies museum was superb with our brilliant tour guide, Mr Kareem. He was very knowledgeable and well versed with facts and the history of the museum and its contents, it was very easy to understand him. Exploring Old Cairo was a sight to behold. Seeing all the old buildings and churches dating back centuries ago was magnificent with Mr Kareem being well preparred to explain every detail. Khan el-Khalili was a beautiful market and lovely to explore as well. Overall, very happy and satisfied with our tour and especially Mr Kareem for his hospitality, friendliness, and knowledge. I thoroughly recommend his service for travellers looking to know the full story of what they are looking at.
