Itinerary
Day 1 :
Our tour leader will pick you up from your Giza or Cairo hotel in a private tour to Heliopolis, one of Cairo's most elegant neighborhoods, where your adventure begins at the legendary Baron Empain Palace.
This architectural marvel was inspired by Hindu temples in India and Angkor Wat in Cambodia. It is entirely built on a rotating base that once allowed it to follow the sun—a feature that stuns even modern architects.
The palace was constructed in 1911 by the Belgian millionaire Baron Édouard Empain. As you step through its carved wooden doors, you'll be captivated by its lavish marble floors, spiral staircases, and stained-glass windows.
Your private tour leader will share fascinating insights about Baron Empain, the founder of Cairo's electric tramway system. Dive into the palace's eerie legends, from ghost sightings to secret tunnels. These tales earned the palace a reputation as one of Egypt's once most haunted buildings.
Enjoy ample time for photography, panoramic rooftop views, and exploring restored rooms with interactive exhibits about Heliopolis' development. After an unforgettable cultural encounter, relax as you return to your hotel.
