Medieval Cairo, a world-class museum, and a legendary bazaar – in one day. Climb to the Citadel of Saladin for sweeping views and the alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali. Cross the city to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) in Giza, the world's largest archaeological museum dedicated to a single civilization, home to the complete Tutankhamun collection and the two ancient Khufu Solar Boats – one fully displayed, the other reassembled live before visitors.
