Unlock the Secrets of the City of Cairo

Pyramids of Giza – the pinnacle of ancient civilization real estate: Begin your day by visiting the Giza Pyramids because which person would love not visiting the world’s oldest, and probably the most intriguing piece of real estate ever I mean doesn't want to check out the world’s oldest real estate. A critical examination of these massive constructions at trying to assess exactly how they were assembled without a single IKEA instructions manual is commended, and Sphinx- picture taking is encouraged—relax, he wouldn’t bite.

Egyptian Museum: See all the Things Including the Gold Mummy: When done, next up, it is time to face the Egyptian Museum, where treasures that would leave any Pharaoh turning in his grave spread out right in front of you. There are many other astonishing treasures from the golden Tutankhamun masks to mummies that look like they just got out of bed it is an eye candy and a survival guide to the lavish splendor of ancient Egypt.

Khan El Khalili Bazaar: The Shopping Experience of a Lifetime (Well for Us – Maybe Not For Our Credit Card): And after all this history, comes the time to do some shopping as they like to call it. Proceed to the Khan El Khalili Bazaar, which is Egyptian’s active market where if you do not enjoy haggling then you better learn how to love it. Everything from spices that would put your grandma's cooking to shame to your favorite vacation souvenirs which will make you the hit of the dinner.

How to Enjoy Cairo to the Max

Hydrate Like a Pharaoh: It’s hot out there, so keep water close and stay hydrated. You wouldn’t want to be the one who got a sunburn in the land of eternal sunshine.

Dress for the Occasion: Trainers are essential since you will have to do a lot of walking, maybe some dancing as well if the rhythm works for you at the bazaar. No comments about the sunburnt dome, so get a hat as well.

Camera Ready: And don’t forget to bring your camera or smartphone, ’cause you’ll definitely want to take a few pictures. The pyramids, the treasures – even the crazy bazaar are worth photographing!

Get Ready to Haggle: Go ahead and haggle. I know it’s a pity, but this has to be done when you go to the bazaar. Better than being on stage performing, because instead of keg stands you’ll chop off the ears of the negotiation!

In the morning after breakfast we visit the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx. The pyramids belong to the 4th Dynasty pharaohs of Cheops, Chephren, Mykerinos. We stop at the Papyrus Institute before we drive into downtown. The Egyptian Museum is home to the countless artifacts of Egypt’s historical past from pre-historic times to the Pharaohs until the Greco-Roman era, with the superb treasures of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen, who died so young, as one of the highlights. So many impressions must be absorbed and digested.

Felucca sailing on the Nile


The perfect place to reflect on this journey into the past is on a felucca sailing the Nile while enjoying your lunch break. The felucca, the traditional Egyptian sailing boat) takes us straight to the dock at the Royal Club Mohamed Ali.

The Nile River is the longest river in the world, stretching for 4,187 miles. The Nile flows from south to north and is formed by three major tributaries: the White Nile, the Blue Nile and the Atbara. The Nile then plunges into a canyon.
Before the construction of the Aswan High Dam; the Nile rolled through a series of six rapids, called cataracts, between northern Sudan and southern Egypt. Since construction of the dam, the river has gradually changed its course.In one generation, thousands of years of life along the Nile River have been permanently altered.

Let’s end this fascinating day with some fun during a Wedding Party. The sights of today provide you with the necessary clues for tomorrow’s teambuilding day. So enjoy and keep your eyes peeled for all the wonders of Egypt. At Excel Travel, we offer magical activities to Egypt.

The Tutankhamun Immersive Exhibition opens

The tomb of Tutankhamun had been discovered by Howard Carter, an English archeologist, over 100 years ago on November 4, 1922. His nearly intact tomb was found in the Valley of the Kings at Luxor just in time when these expeditions were about to run out of money. He was sponsored by Lord Carnarvon. Howard Carter’s earlier attempts at significant findings from the Valley of the Kings have failed.

A unique temporary exhibition has been announced by The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) which promises to offer a fascinating look at Ancient Egypt’s captivating history.

“Tutankhamun – the immersive exhibition” is making its international premiere at the grand Egyptian museum in November 2023, coinciding with exactly one hundred and plus years since King Tutankhamun’s tomb was found; this will be a new kind of storytelling experience through an exhibit that allows one-of-a-kind rediscovery of King Tutankhamun story.

Visitors will enter into a journey of remarkable audio-visuals that stretches for over three millennia utilizing state-of-the-art digital projections which make it possible to fully immerse themselves into life as well as activities that involved this legendary ruler called King Tutankhamun.

While exploring these recreated temples and learning hidden facts about them among other treasures, tourists will be surrounded from all sides with a 360-degree visual feast accompanied by outstanding music tracks.

King Tutankhamun loves history and legacies. This extraordinary voyage through time should not pass unnoticed by anybody who is seeking unforgettable moments.
