Cairo Day Trip from Hurghada – Pyramids, Sphinx & Egyptian Museum

Arrive in the city and meet your licensed, expert Egyptologist guide. Your first stop is the world-famous The Egyptian Museum in Cairo in Tahrir Square, home to an unparalleled collection of ancient antiquities, royal mummies, and majestic statues spanning millennia.

Take a break from exploring to recharge at a local restaurant. Savor a freshly prepared, authentic Egyptian lunch before heading over to the Giza Plateau.

Cross over to the West Bank of the Nile to witness the ultimate symbols of ancient Egypt at the Giza Necropolis. Stand in awe before the Great Pyramid of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, and learn about the incredible architectural engineering used to construct them.

Head to a spectacular high-vantage point overlooking the entire Giza Plateau. This is the perfect opportunity to capture breathtaking panoramic group or family photos with all three major pyramids standing in the background.

Descend to the base of the plateau to visit the legendary Great Sphinx of Giza. Marvel at this monumental limestone statue featuring a lion's body and a pharaoh's head, standing guard over the ancient royal tomb complexes.

Enjoy a brief visit to a traditional workshop before leaving Cairo. Watch how the ancients created the world's first paper out of papyrus plants and sample legendary Egyptian flower oils and perfumes.

Reboard your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle for the return trip back to the Red Sea coast. Relax, review your photos, and arrive safely back at your Hurghada hotel lobby in the evening.
