We had an incredible time uncovering the gems of Giza, with the Citadel being our favorite stop—its panoramic views are simply breathtaking! The Egyptian Museum was filled with fascinating artifacts, allowing us to dive deep into the rich history of the region. Ending our day in the vibrant Khan El Khalili Bazaar was a treat, where we enjoyed haggling for souvenirs amidst the lively atmosphere; just a heads up, a little more time here would have been perfect!

The Citadel was a stunning start to my day, offering breathtaking views of the city and a glimpse into Cairo’s past. I was particularly captivated by the Egyptian Museum, where the treasures of King Tut really brought history alive for me. Khan El Khalili Bazaar was a vibrant end to my tour, filled with colors and sounds that made me feel truly immersed in the culture, though I wish there had been a bit more time to explore the stalls at my own pace.

We had an engaging six-hour adventure that beautifully blended history and culture, with the citadel providing an impressive backdrop to our exploration. The Egyptian museum captivated us with its vast collection, especially the artifacts that spoke volumes about ancient life. Wandering through the vibrant streets of the bazaar, we immersed ourselves in the colorful chaos, savoring the aromas and haggling for unique treasures. One minor suggestion would be to allow a bit more time in the bazaar, as its charm makes it hard to leave. Overall, this experience offered a well-rounded glimpse into a fascinating world, leaving us eager to discover more.
