Your Itinerary
Drive to Cairo
Early in the morning, your private driver will pick you up directly from your hotel. During the comfortable journey through the Egyptian desert in an air-conditioned private vehicle, your Egyptologist will introduce you to the fascinating history of Ancient Egypt and prepare you for the day's discoveries.
Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)
The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is one of the world's most important archaeological museums.
Together with your Egyptologist, you'll discover monumental statues, magnificent sarcophagi, and priceless artifacts from Ancient Egypt.
The museum's modern galleries offer an extraordinary journey through the history of the pharaohs. Your guide will lead you to the museum's most important highlights, ensuring you enjoy the experience without feeling overwhelmed by its vast exhibition halls.
Lunch
After your morning sightseeing, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch at one of our carefully selected local restaurants.
Pyramids of Giza
Visit the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure—among the most extraordinary monuments ever built.
Together with your Egyptologist, you'll learn how these remarkable structures were constructed and why they remain one of the greatest achievements of human civilization.
If you wish, you may also enter the Great Pyramid of Khufu by purchasing the official additional ticket issued by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.
Great Sphinx of Giza
Located beside the pyramids, the Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the most iconic monuments of Ancient Egypt and is closely associated with the pyramid complex of Khafre.
Return to Hurghada
After an unforgettable day in Cairo, relax as you travel back to your hotel on the Red Sea.
