Day 01
Cairo and Giza Highlights Day Tour
- Your representative will pick you up at midnight from your Sharm el-Sheikh hotel in a private air-conditioned vehicle, transfer you to the bus station, and help you board the shared air-conditioned bus to Cairo. The bus has onboard toilet facilities, and the journey takes approximately six hours. Along the way, you can catch up on sleep and enter Cairo's outskirts as the sun rises over Egypt's fascinating capital.
- Begin your sightseeing at the Egyptian Museum, which features artefacts from the Pharaonic era. The museum displays a rare collection spanning 5,000 years of art and is considered home to the largest and most precious collection of Egyptian art in the world. More than 250,000 genuine artefacts are presented, including an exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamen's treasures, gold and jewellery, which remained enclosed in his tomb for over 3,500 years before being discovered in the 1920s during the excavation of his tomb.
- After finishing the museum tour, enjoy a motorboat ride and lunch at a restaurant on the Nile with a panoramic view.
- Continue to discover the Great Pyramids of Khufu/Cheops, Khafre/Chephren and Menkaure/Mykerinos, as well as the Sphinx, with the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion, dating back to the reign of King Chephren. You will also visit the Valley Temple of the Pyramid of Chephren.
- Visit the famous Cairo Bazaar and perfume Arab shops, followed by a stop at the Papyrus Institute, where you will be shown all the steps of making paper, right from the point when the plant was first grown.
- In the evening, drive to the Cairo bus station and return to your hotel in Sharm.
