Itinerary
A representative meets you at your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh and transfers you to the airport. You board a domestic flight to Cairo, where another representative greets you on arrival.
Your Egyptologist guide leads you across the Giza plateau to explore the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Chefren, and the Pyramid of Mykerinus, along with the Valley Temple of Khefren. The Great Sphinx, carved from a single mass of limestone roughly 5,000 years ago, closes out this portion of the visit.
A camel ride on the plateau gives you a different vantage point of the pyramids before the group breaks for a local lunch, included in the tour.
The Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo holds approximately 150,000 artifacts spanning thousands of years of ancient Egyptian history. The highlight for many visitors is the Tutankhamun collection, which includes the pharaoh's gold funerary mask and personal objects from his tomb.
Founded in 1382 A.D., this historic market in Islamic Cairo is a place to browse handcrafted goods, spices, jewelry, and souvenirs at your own pace. Free time here allows for independent exploration of the surrounding lanes and coffee houses.
A transfer takes you to Cairo Airport for the evening flight back to Sharm El Sheikh. On arrival, a driver returns you directly to your hotel.
