2 Ben Ezra Synagogue

Start your tour with a visit to Ben Ezra Synagogue, one of the main Jewish heritage sites in Old Cairo.

During your visit, your private Egyptologist guide will explain the history of the synagogue, its role in the Jewish community of Egypt, and its importance as part of Old Cairo’s religious heritage. The site is also known for the Cairo Geniza, a collection of Jewish manuscripts and documents discovered in the 19th century that became important for the study of Jewish history, trade, language, and daily life in the medieval period.

Ben Ezra Synagogue is traditionally connected with older religious traditions and has been rebuilt and restored over time, with major history connected to the medieval period and later restorations. Your guide will explain the main historical background, the layout of the synagogue, and its connection with the surrounding Coptic and Old Cairo district.

Depending on the selected Cairo tour, the program can include the Giza Pyramids, the Great Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum, the Grand Egyptian Museum, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, Islamic Cairo, Coptic Cairo, Khan El Khalili Bazaar, Memphis, Saqqara, Dahshur, and other Cairo sightseeing sites.

Always check the tour inclusions before booking because each Cairo tour has its own route, duration, pickup time, entrance fees, meals, transport details, and airport pickup or drop-off options when required.

View available private Cairo tours here: Cairo Tours, Trips and Excursions.

Choose your Cairo tour based on the sightseeing sites you want to include and the time available. Classic Cairo tours usually include the Giza Pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum or the Grand Egyptian Museum. Other Cairo tours can include Old Cairo, Islamic Cairo, Coptic Cairo, Khan El Khalili Bazaar, or the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.

If you want to visit ancient sites outside central Cairo, choose a tour that includes Memphis, Saqqara, and Dahshur. These sites require more driving time than the main city tours, so the route and duration should be checked before confirmation.

Frequent Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most asked questions.

This FAQ covers core Egypt travel facts: visa on arrival and e-visa options, safety and health basics, average trip costs and cash/card tips, best months by region, what to wear and pack, local customs and public holidays, weather by season, official language and useful phrases, mobile data/Wi-Fi and SIM cards, transport (flights, trains, taxis, ride-hailing), tipping norms, and guidance for solo travelers and families. Use it to plan quickly and avoid surprises.

Getting into Egypt is genuinely easy. Most nationalities receive a 30-day visa on arrival at Cairo, Luxor, and Hurghada airports for just USD 30, paid in cash at the bank counter before immigration. If you prefer to sort it before you fly, Egypt's official e-Visa takes 3 to 5 business days and costs the same amount. Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months from your travel date. When you book with WOW Egypt Tours, your dedicated advisor confirms your exact visa route before anything else, so there is no guesswork on your end.

Absolutely. WOW Egypt Tours specialises in shore excursions from Egypt's main cruise ports including Alexandria for Cairo and the Pyramids, Port Said for Cairo, Safaga for Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, and Sokhna. Your guide meets you directly at the dock, the itinerary is timed precisely to get you back well before all-aboard, and everything runs in a private vehicle with no waiting around. Just share your ship name, port of call, and docking time when you get in touch and we handle the rest.

Start with a message through our contact page, WhatsApp, or email at booking@WOWEgyptTours.com. From that first message you will deal with one dedicated advisor who designs the itinerary, answers every question, and manages your trip from start to finish. A deposit secures your dates and the balance can be paid before arrival or on arrival in Egypt, depending on the package. Your advisor confirms the available payment methods for your specific booking. There are no surprise charges along the way.

 

This is genuinely what we do best. Through our tailor-made experience, your advisor starts from scratch with your travel dates, the destinations you care about, the pace you prefer, your accommodation style, and your budget, then builds an itinerary around all of it. Want to add a sunrise hot air balloon over Luxor, a private yacht on the Nile, a marriage proposal at Abu Simbel, a family trip mapped around your children's interests, or a wheelchair-accessible route through the Pyramids? All of it is possible and all of it has been done before.

 

Think light, breathable, and modest. Loose cotton or linen clothing works brilliantly in the heat and dries fast. Inside temples, mosques, and religious sites, covered shoulders and knees are required, so a lightweight scarf or wrap folds into any bag and solves the problem instantly. Comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes matter more than you might expect as ancient surfaces are uneven. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are non-negotiable in summer. A small reusable water bottle is a good idea everywhere. For desert or Sinai trips, pack a warm layer as nights drop sharply once the sun goes down.
