Starting from Cairo

Have you been dreaming all your life to stand in front of the Sphinx and admire the pyramids with your own eyes.
Rising Egypt is ready to design your individual journey. 

What to expect.

- What Cairo can bring you!

When you think of Cairo, you immediately think of the pyramids and the great Sphinx. Their dimensions are enormous and they give you a huge sense of reverence and wonder. The atmosphere inside is breathtaking. 
Besides the great pyramids, you can also visit lesser-known pyramids such as Sakkara, the Red Pyramid and others. 
And Cairo has more! There is the new National Museum of Egyptian Civilization and in the fall of 2023, the Great Egyptian Museum will normally open its doors: the largest museum dedicated to one civilization. A real first! 
Furthermore, Cairo's religious center is more than worth a visit. You will find Coptic churches, mosques and synagogues side by side.... 
Cairo also has the phenomenal Mohamed Ali Castle with mosque.
