You step out of an air-conditioned vehicle onto Tahrir Square and the city breathes around you: honking cars, street vendors calling, and the stone façade of the Egyptian Museum rising like a ledger of millennia. Inside, gilt and glass cases hold Pharaohs' jewelry and the compact, eerie presence of mummified rulers; outside, the Citadel perches on the Mokattam hills, watching the Nile floodplain flatten into the city like a living map.

Admission is typically not included by default; confirm with the operator—some bookings bundle museum or mosque fees while others require payment on-site.
Pickup is offered from hotels in Cairo or Giza; your guide will confirm a pickup window—plan to be ready within that window for a timely departure.
The Egyptian Museum and Khan el-Khalili have uneven surfaces and stairs; parts of the Citadel involve steep ramps—accessibility may be limited, so notify the operator about mobility needs in advance.
Tipping is customary in Egypt; small tips for guides and drivers are appreciated—budget a modest amount per person for the guide and driver at the end of the day.
