  Are you in Cairo and you wonder where you can go and what sights you can enjoy to the fullest in 14 hours, then let us show you how much fun you can have in a 14-hour day tour of Cairo

Kick starting your boat and boating tour in a Wi-Fi-enabled/air-conditioned private minivan at around 8 am, your first stop is the Giza plateau. The Giza Plateau is an archaeological site that encompasses of a workers’ village, tombs, and of course, the famous Giza Pyramids Complex.

Moving on, your next tour spot is the Solar Boat Museum. This museum is located around the Pharaoh Khufu Pyramid    (which is over 4500 years old) on the Giza Pyramids Complex and is said to be home of the reassembled Great Pyramid’s wooden boat.

The Museum also contains a miniature version of the boat and documented images of the reassembling of the boat after it was found broken. 

Next up, you have your trip of the Sahara desert, and we have a 30 minutes planned camel ride to take care of that. 

From the Sahara, your tour continues to the River Nile, where you get to board a felucca boat. After the boat ride, you have the pleasure of enjoying lunch in a restaurant overlooking the Nile in Egypt

Your next tour site is the Egyptian Museum  , where you’d get to see lots of old boat artifacts (sculptures and paintings) that date back to different Egyptian periods. 

And to wrap your tour for the day, you get to enjoy dinner on a 2-hour Nile cruise ship while you experience and explore the traditional oriental shows of Egypt.

On this tour, your other tour benefits is a pickup and drop-off at the hotel and a professional Egyptologist guide.
