Cairo Tower and Felucca Tour with the Egyptian Museum

This Cairo Tower and felucca tour is a private full day that mixes ancient history with the modern city and the Nile. You visit the Egyptian Museum, ride up Cairo Tower for a view over the capital, and sail on the river in a traditional felucca.

What you will see

• The Egyptian Museum: the 1902 museum on Tahrir Square, home to a vast collection of pharaonic statues, coffins and objects.
• Cairo Tower: the lattice-patterned tower on Gezira Island, opened in 1961, with an observation deck looking out over the Nile and the city.
• Felucca ride: a sail on the Nile aboard a felucca, the wooden sailing boat used on the river for centuries.

Good to know

Depending on the option you choose, the tour includes pickup and drop-off from your location in Cairo, a new-model private air-conditioned vehicle, a guide, entry fees and lunch at a local restaurant, with bottled water, taxes and service charges covered. Guides are available in English, Spanish and German.

Prices per person vary with group size. The felucca relies on the wind, so the pace on the water is slow and peaceful. On clear days the view from Cairo Tower stretches a long way across the city, so bring your camera. Optional add-ons can be arranged when you book, so mention anything you would like to include.
