4 Day Cairo Tour Package: Pyramids, Sphinx and Egyptian Museum

Step into the world of the pharaohs across four unforgettable days in Egypt's storied capital.


This 4 Day Cairo Tour Package brings together the defining landmarks of ancient Egypt and the treasures of one of the world's great museums, all delivered with comfortable accommodation at the Steigenberger Hotel and private airport transfers throughout.

From the moment your tour manager meets you at Cairo International Airport, every detail of the journey is handled on your behalf. Transfers are made in air-conditioned vehicles, check-in is assisted, and your itinerary is reviewed in full so you know exactly what to expect on each day.

The package balances two of Cairo's most significant historical sites: the Giza Plateau with its pyramids and Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo. Both visits are structured to allow meaningful time at each location without unnecessary rushing.

Accommodation at the Steigenberger Hotel provides a reliable base in the city, and daily breakfast is included throughout the stay. The final morning offers a relaxed departure with a transfer back to the airport to conclude the trip.

Tour Highlights

Stand before the Great Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus on the Giza Plateau, among the last surviving wonders of the ancient world.

Encounter the Great Sphinx, the largest monolith statue in the world and the oldest known monumental sculpture.

Explore the Valley Temple attributed to King Chefren, which served a documented role in the ancient mummification process.

Visit the Egyptian Museum and admire the splendid collection of Tutankhamun alongside a vast array of artifacts spanning thousands of years.

Access the Tutankhamun Treasury Room at the Egyptian Museum, home to the iconic golden burial mask and royal funerary objects.

Stay at the Steigenberger Hotel in Cairo, a well-regarded property providing a comfortable base between excursions.

Benefit from a dedicated tour manager from arrival to departure, including all airport transfers in a private air-conditioned vehicle.
