The Egypt Tour is organised for those who wish to discover Cairo and Al-Azhar, among the most important centres of the Islamic scholarly tradition, and this deep-rooted land that has been a home of learning throughout history.
The programme begins with Al-Azhar Mosque and University, Al-Hussein Mosque and the Khan el-Khalili bazaar, takes you around historic Cairo with the Sultan Hassan and Ibn Tulun mosques, and ends with the Pyramids of Giza and the Nile.

Do I need a visa for Egypt?
Yes, a visa is required to enter Egypt. The application method and the required documents are explained when you book, in line with the current regulations; your passport should ideally be valid for at least 6 months.
When is the best time to visit Egypt?
October to April is the most comfortable period in terms of temperature. In the summer months, visits to the Pyramids and other open-air sites are scheduled for the early morning.
Can we go inside the Pyramids?
The programme includes a visit to the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx area. As the interiors of the Pyramids can only be visited with a separate ticket and in limited numbers, simply pass this request on to your advisor when you book.
