Stop At: The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities
The Egyptian museum in Cairo houses over 120,000 artifacts, including the contents of Tutankhamen’s tomb and most of the mummies that have been discovered since the 19th century. The museum’s exhibits span from the beginning of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt (approximately 2700 BC) through the Greco-Roman period.The building consists of two floors. On the ground floor, you can follow the history of Egypt from the Old Kingdom up through the Greco-Roman period by turning left at the entrance and looping around the museum. This provides a good background for most of Egypt’s ancient history.

Stop At: Cairo Citadel
The Citadel looks very different today than it did in its original capacity as a fortress the Crusader armies. It has been expanded and remodeled by many different rulers. In the 14th century, Sultan Al-Nasir Muhammed built a mosque there that still bears his name and the Southern Enclosure of the fort next to Saladin’s original walls. The most noticeable changes came in the 19th century.
Stop At: Coptic Cairo
Coptic Cairo is a unique area with Old Cairo that has a concentration of Christian churches and other sites that date from the centuries between the decline of the pharaonic religion and the arrival of Islam when Egypt had a Christian majority. Coptic Cairo is largely built around the fort of Babylon on upon the remains of its walls.
The Coptic Museum is here, which holds the largest collection of Coptic Christian artwork and artifacts in the world. Founded in 1910, the museum records Coptic history from the arrival of Christianity in Egypt up through the Ottoman era, displaying a mixture of artwork influenced by Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman traditions.

“Abla Saif - Expert Egyptologist and Photographer – Highly Recommended!”
Short version: We had a fantastic day with Abla Saif! She's not only a certified Egyptologist with 19 years of experience, but also a talented photographer and has a great sense of humor. Everything was perfectly organized, even though we booked last minute. Visiting the pyramids and the Sphinx was made even more special thanks to her stories and the stunning photos she took of us. Highly recommended! For more details, see the full review below. We booked a last-minute tour with Abla Saif, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our trip. Abla is a certified Egyptologist with 19 years of experience, but she's also an excellent photographer and a truly charming person with a great sense of humor. From the first contact via WhatsApp, we received clear information and quick responses. On the day of the tour, Abla and her regular driver (who stayed with us the entire day) were waiting for us at our hotel right on time. We started with a quick stop at a local clothing shop. While the staff naturally hopes you’ll buy something, there's absolutely no pressure. Then came the highlight: the pyramids and the Sphinx. Already an awe-inspiring sight, but made even more memorable by Abla’s insights and photography. She knew exactly where to stand for the perfect shots, and her explanations were rich in detail, going beyond the standard tourist information. Afterwards, we also visited a spice shop, a perfume store, and a souvenir shop — all local and authentic, and a nice way to wrap up the day. In short: if you're looking for a personal, professional, and fun guide experience in Egypt, Abla Saif is the one to book. We would choose her again without hesitation!
