What you'll see and do
The Egyptian Museum in Cairo
Pickup starts at 8:00 am from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by the guide to take you to the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. It displays the largest and most precious items of the Egyptian art in the world. It exhibits a rare collection of over 250,000 genuine artifacts that date as far back as 5000 years, including an exclusive exhibit dedicated to the Tutankhamen. A collection of treasures, gold, and jewelry that were buried in his tomb for over 3,500 years before they were discovered in 1920 when his tomb was excavated.

Citadel of Saladin
Next we will go to the Citadel of Cairo where we will visit the Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali Pasha. Lunch is included in between visits at a local restaurant. Please note that beverages are not included.
120 minutes here · Admission included
Coptic Cairo
After lunch visit Old Cairo, known as Christian Coptic Cairo. It is among the most important locations visited by the Holy Family, where the spiritual impact of their presence is most felt still, even though their stay was brief, for the Governor of what was then Fustat enraged by the tumbling down of idols at Jesus’s approach sought to kill the Child. They took shelter from his wrath in a cave above which, in later years, the Church of Abu Serga (St Sergius) was built. This and the whole area of the Fort of Babylon is a destination of pilgrimage not only for the Egyptians but for Christians from around the world. An air of piety and devotion pervades the whole district there. Also, there you will be able to visit and enter the Church of Abu-Sergah and St. Barbara, the hanging church, and the old Jewish synagogue – Ben Ezra Synagogue.

Great Tour!
Gamal Elkomaty did a super great tour - with lots of interesting information. We visited the most important sights in Cairo, including the pyramids of Gizeh, The Egyptian Museum and the Citadel. We enjoyed every second of the tour and we highly recommend it.

Three palaces
We asked the company to arrange a tailor made tour to the three palaces and ending the day with a Nile cruise. The day was well organised and everything we wanted it to be. We requested Mohamed Gabor to be our guide as he was so good on our previous tour. He did not disappoint. A fabulous last day in Cairo.

The perfect tour!
Mohamed Gaber was a great guide and was prompt, waiting for us in the lobby of our hotel. He was very knowledgable and worked well with our kids, sensing how much detail and level of pace we wanted and worked with us. He gave us so much history and background of both the sites we visited, and those along the way. The lunch spot they chose was great and felt local. He went above and beyond and got my kids snacks as well. Our driver was just as courteous and his name is Mohammed as well. You won't regeat booking this tour!

An amazing experience
An excellent tour that made for us the best day of our stay in Cairo. Our tour guide Mohamed Gaber was so knowledgeable, much more than any other tour guide that we’ve had during our trip to Egypt. Sharing information with us was clearly a passion for him. We also had a very skilled and friendly tour driver, Ezat, who safely took us to all places that we visited. Incredible tour highly recommended

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Day Tour in Egyptian Museum, Citadel and Coptic Cairo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Day Tour in Egyptian Museum, Citadel and Coptic Cairo cost?
+
Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Day Tour in Egyptian Museum, Citadel and Coptic Cairo take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairo is not rushed.
Is Private Day Tour in Egyptian Museum, Citadel and Coptic Cairo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 99 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Tour in Egyptian Museum, Citadel and Coptic Cairo?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Day Tour in Egyptian Museum, Citadel and Coptic Cairo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Tour in Egyptian Museum, Citadel and Coptic Cairo?
+
Around 35 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Tour in Egyptian Museum, Citadel and Coptic Cairo start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cairo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cairo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
