Day 01
Cairo and Giza Highlights from Hurghada
- Start the tour early in the morning, at around 2 AM. Your guide will pick you up from the hotel. It is helpful to pre-order breakfast boxes at reception and collect them before departure.
- Drive from Hurghada to Cairo, which will take approximately 5 hours. From Makadi, it will take about an hour more. With a short break on the way, you will reach Cairo at around 8 AM.
- Visit the Giza Plateau and take pictures.
- Head to the Giza Pyramids. Egypt has dozens of discovered pyramids; however, you will visit the most famous ones: Khufu, the only surviving Ancient World Wonder of the Seven Ancient World Wonders, Khefre, and Mykerinos.
- Optionally, you can pay 10 Euros extra to tour the inside of a pyramid.
- Check out Khufu's solar boat, standing right next to the monuments, which was built to help Khufu sail on the River of Death to reach the afterlife.
- After lunch, go to the museum. The Egyptian Museum boasts a great collection of around 120,000 artifacts from all the historical periods of the country. The most famous and precious collection is Tutankhamun's treasure. Don't miss the chance to see his golden sarcophagus with your own eyes. The museum also holds two unique Mummy Rooms. You can walk for hours inside the museum and still find new and fascinating things. As on all trips, the local licensed guide will explain everything to you and give you tips on places worth visiting if you plan to spend longer in Giza.
Drive back to Hurghada and arrive at around 10 PM, concluding your tour.
