Itinerary Overview
Guests are collected from their hotels in Hurghada for a morning transfer to the airport. Those staying in El Gouna or Makadi Bay are also catered for with an additional transfer arrangement.
The flight from Hurghada to Cairo takes approximately one hour, arriving in the morning with sufficient time to begin sightseeing. Your Egyptologist guide meets you at Cairo Airport upon arrival.
The first sightseeing stop is the museum of your choice. The Egyptian Museum in central Cairo holds thousands of artifacts including the renowned Tutankhamun collection, while the Grand Egyptian Museum near Giza offers a contemporary setting for an equally extraordinary collection.
A midday break at a carefully chosen local restaurant gives the group time to rest and enjoy a proper Egyptian meal before the afternoon program begins.
The afternoon is dedicated to the Giza plateau. The guide leads the group through the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, followed by a visit to the Great Sphinx with time for photographs.
After sightseeing concludes, the group transfers to Cairo Airport for the evening flight back to Hurghada. Arrival is expected around 21:00, followed by a direct hotel drop-off.
