Day Trip to the Pyramids of Giza & Egyptian Museum of Cairo
Day Trip Details
At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Hurghada and set off towards Cairo by bus. After a 5.5-hour journey, we'll arrive at Egypt's capital to begin our adventure by visiting one of the cultural gems in the country.
Our first stop will be at the famous Giza pyramid complex, where the Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure pyramids stand tall. By wandering through this unique place, you'll get to know the history of these architectural marvels.
We'll also visit the Giza Solar Boat Museum, home to a ceremonial boat which accompanied Khufu on his journey to the afterlife. Additionally, if you wish, you'll have time to venture inside the Great Pyramid if you wish.
From here, we'll make our way to the Great Sphinx, a magnificent stone statue that has inspired legends throughout the centuries. Did you know that this monument combines the body of a lion with the face of a pharaoh? Its mysteriousness and majesty are sure to blow you away.
Next, we'll take a break to enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. Having re-energised, we'll continue our tour at the Egyptian Museum of Cairo, which is home to over 120,000 priceless artifacts. Here, you'll be able to admire the famous treasure of the pharaoh Tutankhamen, including his funeral mask and solid gold sarcophagus. What an amazing experience!
For our last stop of the day, we'll visit the Papyrus Institute or a traditional perfumery. Here, you'll get to uncover the secrets of ancient Egyptian traditions and purchase unique products made with floral essences.
Lastly, we'll begin our journey back to Hurghada and say our goodbyes back at your hotel after a total of 20 hours.
