What to expect
You'll travel by private vehicle with a knowledgeable Egyptologist who contextualises the sites as you visit them. Day one is intensive: expect four major archaeological zones spread across the Giza plateau and desert sites further out, with a local lunch break midway. Day two focuses on Cairo's city centre, moving between the museum (plan 2–3 hours minimum), the fortified citadel complex, and the sprawling bazaar where traders actively negotiate. Walking is moderate but involves stairs, uneven surfaces, and desert terrain. Bring sun protection and comfortable shoes.
