About this tour
A six-hour private tour based in France combining visits to the Egyptian Museum's antiquities collection and the bustling Khan Khalili Bazaar. You'll be collected from your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle, guided through centuries of artefacts, then released into one of Cairo's most chaotic and rewarding markets. Lunch at a local restaurant and a knowledgeable guide are available add-ons. Bottled water supplied throughout.

- Navigate Khan Khalili's labyrinthine stalls and haggle with vendors

What to expect
You'll start with hotel collection, then spend the bulk of your morning or early afternoon inside the Egyptian Museum, where thousands of artefacts—from funerary masks to everyday pottery—span millennia. The pace is relaxed; no rushing between galleries. After lunch (if selected), you'll head to Khan Khalili, where narrow alleys overflow with spices, textiles, jewellery and tourist trinkets. Expect noise, crowds, and aggressive but good-natured shopkeepers. The bazaar rewards wandering and idle browsing more than purposeful shopping.
Good to know
Bring comfortable walking shoes for the bazaar's uneven surfaces. Entry fees and guide are optional extras, not included in base price. The tour suits most fitness levels but isn't advised for those with spinal, cardiac, or pregnancy-related conditions. Public transport is available if you prefer independent exploration.
