At 9 am you we will meet in your hotel lobby and will start a unique experience in Cairo which includes
Baron Empain Palace
Your Egypt trip will remain incomplete forever until you visit the spectacular Baron Empain Palace, also known as the El Palais Hindu, which is synonymous to showmanship and luxury of the city of Cairo. Situated on the landmark of Heliopolis and designed by French architect, this wondrous palace will grab your eyeballs with its fascinating history and magnificent oriental architecture.
The Royal Carriages Museum
The Royal carriages Museum in Boulaq is one of the earliest of its kind worldwide, both from the prospect of the authenticity of its building and the originality of its displays. The building was particularly adapted to preserve the cultural heritage of the royal carriages and all related material dating back to the era of Mohammed Ali Dynasty.
The idea of establishing the museum building dates back to the reign of khedive Ismail (r. 1863- 1879), who thought of founding a special structure for housing the horses and the khedivial carriages. Initially, the establishment was called the “Khedivial Carriages Service”, then its name was changed in 1922 to “Royal Stables Department (Royal Mews)” under the reign of king Fouad (r. 1917- 1936).
Cairo Tower
The Cairo Tower or ElGezira tower or ( Brag El qahari) in Arabic language is consider one of the most prominent features of the Egyptian capital .Its partially open lattice-work design is intended to evoke a lotus plant. Cairo tower was built from 1956 to 1961 during the presidency of Gamal Abdel Nasser with Soviet assistance.
