Overview

This private day tour gives you a taste of both ancient and modern Cairo. With your own Egyptologist guide, you'll explore the Egyptian Museum and take in its highlights, learning about key artifacts and what they tell us about Egypt's past. Along the way your guide will explain the stories behind the objects you see, helping the collection come to life. You will also visit a local bazaar and pass by the eccentric Baron Empain Palace as you move through the city. The day ends in Heliopolis with a hands-on cooking course where you'll learn to make koshari, Egypt’s popular vegetarian dish. The mix of museum insight, street-level scenes and a practical cooking lesson shows different sides of Cairo in a single, private experience.
