Private Egyptian Museum Tour - 10 Nights / 11 Days

Have your morning refreshments and start exploring all the museums in Cairo. These museums offer a deep and chronological understanding of Egypt's civilisation.

Begin with a visit to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation (NMEC). It is a modern, well-designed museum that traces Egypt's history from prehistoric times to the present. The Royal Mummies Hall is the highlight. Here, you will come across Egypt's greatest kings and queens in an atmospheric setting.

After that, visit the iconic Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. It is home to one of the world's most notable collections of ancient artefacts. Your guide will help you go through the huge galleries and explain masterpieces like royal statues, jewellery, sarcophagi, and daily-life objects.

Have your lunch in the afternoon. Then explore Egypt's Islamic and Christian heritage at the Museum of Islamic Art, which showcases exquisite ceramics, manuscripts, textiles, and metalwork. Visit the Coptic Museum, which houses manuscripts, rare icons, and architectural elements from early Christianity in Egypt.

At the end of the day, visit the Gayer-Anderson Museum. It is a beautiful historic house and has numerous antiques and stories. Return to the hotel.

After having breakfast, start your journey to Giza, where you will explore the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). It is the largest archaeological museum in the world. The GEM offers an authentic way to experience ancient Egypt.

Walk along its huge galleries displaying royal artefacts, colossal statues, reliefs, and everyday objects. All these things are presented well with advanced technology. The highlights of this museum include monumental sculptures of kings, intricately adorned coffins, and artefacts.

Enjoy impressive views of the Giza Plateau from the museum complex. It builds a powerful connection between the artefacts placed inside the museum and the pyramids beyond. Return to your hotel as the sun sets.

Begin your day with a visit to the elegant Luxor Museum, one of Egypt's best-curated museums. Its thoughtfully arranged displays include statues of kings and gods, reliefs, jewellery, and artefacts discovered in nearby temples and tombs. The lighting and presentation allow you to appreciate details often missed elsewhere.

Next, visit the fascinating Mummification Museum, which explains the ancient Egyptian beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife. Learn about embalming techniques, sacred oils, and the rituals used to prepare both humans and animals for eternity. In the remaining time, explore Luxor at your own pace, enjoy a felucca ride on the Nile, or relax at your hotel.

After breakfast, transfer to Alexandria, Egypt's historic Mediterranean city. Founded by Alexander the Great, Alexandria offers a unique blend of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman heritage.

Upon arrival, check in to your hotel and enjoy free time to experience the city's relaxed coastal atmosphere. You may wish to walk along the Corniche, enjoy fresh seafood, or take in the sea views.

Explore Alexandria's rich intellectual and cultural history. Begin at the Graeco-Roman Museum, home to an outstanding collection of statues, mosaics, coins, and artefacts from the Hellenistic and Roman periods.

Continue to the Alexandria National Museum, which offers a clear and engaging overview of the city's past, from Pharaonic times through the Islamic era, all displayed within a beautifully restored historic mansion.

The highlight of the day is the Library of Alexandria (Bibliotheca Alexandrina). It is a modern architectural masterpiece built as a tribute to the ancient world's most famous library. Explore its museum spaces, exhibitions, and reading halls that celebrate knowledge, science, and culture.

After breakfast, travel to Aswan by flight or train. Upon arrival, get to your hotel. This peaceful Nile-side city is known for its Nubian culture and stunning scenery. Spend the afternoon at leisure, enjoying views of the Nile, granite islands, and traditional feluccas sailing past.

Begin your day at the award-winning Nubian Museum, one of Egypt's best regional museums. Through detailed exhibits, models, and artefacts, you'll learn about Nubian history, traditions, language, and the impact of the Nile on local life.

Later, visit the Aswan Museum on Elephantine Island. This historic building offers insights into Aswan's ancient role as a frontier city and its more recent colonial history. In free time, relax or enjoy optional activities like a boat ride or a village visit. Return to your hotel.

After breakfast, return to Cairo by plane or train. After reaching the city, check into your hotel and enjoy your final day in Egypt at leisure. It is a good opportunity for last-minute shopping, revisiting favourite spots, or enjoying a farewell dinner at a traditional Egyptian restaurant.

Have your morning refreshments. After that, enjoy a private transfer to Cairo International Airport. Board the flight dedicated to the primary city of your country. Leave Egypt with a deep understanding of its history, unforgettable memories, and a genuine appreciation of its museums.
