2 Days Trip To Memphis , Saqqara From Soma Bay By Flight

Day 1 / Journey Through Ancient Egypt – Pyramids, Sphinx, and Memphis

Your journey begins with a transfer from your hotel in Soma Bay to Hurghada Airport for your flight to Cairo. As you soar over Egypt’s desert landscapes and the Nile River, enjoy breathtaking aerial views before landing in Cairo, where your expert Egyptologist guide will greet you and lead you on an exciting historical tour.

 

Your first stop is the Great Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Stand in awe before the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and most famous pyramid in Egypt. Your guide will explain the advanced engineering techniques used to construct these incredible structures, which have stood for over 4,500 years.

 

Next, visit the Sphinx, the majestic lion-bodied statue with the face of Pharaoh Khafre. Your guide will unravel the mysteries surrounding this ancient monument, including the myths and theories about its creation, as well as its role in Egyptian royal culture.

 

After exploring the pyramids and Sphinx, enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Savor authentic dishes such as koshari, molokhia, and falafel, providing a true taste of Egypt’s culinary heritage.

 

In the afternoon, head to Saqqara, home to the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s first monumental stone structure. Learn about the architectural innovations that marked the beginning of the pyramid evolution and explore the tombs surrounding the pyramid, where you’ll discover more about Egypt’s ancient burial practices.

 

From Saqqara, continue your journey to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. Visit the open-air museum, which houses the colossal statue of Ramses II and many other significant relics from the city. This is a perfect place to learn about Memphis’ role as a political and cultural center in ancient Egypt.

 

After a fascinating day of exploration, return to your hotel in Cairo for a restful evening. Reflect on the incredible history you’ve just encountered and enjoy some free time before the next day’s adventures.

Day 2 / Citadel of Salah El-Din, Mosque of Muhammad Ali, and the Egyptian Museum

After breakfast at your hotel, begin your second day with a visit to the Citadel of Salah El-Din, a historic fortress perched on a hill offering breathtaking panoramic views of Cairo. Built in the 12th century, the citadel was crucial during the Crusades. As you explore the ancient walls and towers, your guide will explain its military significance and strategic role in protecting Cairo.

 

Within the Citadel, you’ll find the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, an architectural masterpiece built in the 19th century. Admire the mosque’s grand dome, towering minarets, and intricate Ottoman-style design. Inside, explore the beautifully detailed interiors, complete with Islamic calligraphy and chandeliers, while your guide shares its rich history and cultural importance.

 

Next, visit the world-renowned Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, home to one of the largest collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Marvel at the treasures of Tutankhamun’s tomb, including his famous golden mask and jewelry. The museum also houses the Royal Mummies, including those of Ramses II and Hatshepsut. Your guide will provide detailed insights into ancient Egyptian beliefs surrounding death, mummification, and the afterlife.

 

After your visit to the museum, enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, offering more classic dishes of Egyptian cuisine. Reflect on the incredible sights and stories you’ve experienced during your adventure.

 

Once lunch is complete, your private transfer will take you to Cairo Airport for your flight back to Hurghada. Upon arrival at Hurghada Airport, a private transfer will be waiting to take you back to your hotel in Soma Bay, marking the end of your unforgettable two-day trip through Egypt’s ancient history and vibrant culture.
