Your adventure begins with a comfortable and private transfer from Soma Bay to Cairo, where you will be transported in a private vehicle. As you journey through Egypt’s breathtaking desert landscapes, you’ll enjoy scenic views that offer a glimpse into the country’s rural charm.
Upon arrival in Cairo, you will be greeted by your professional Egyptologist guide, who will be with you throughout your day to offer expert commentary and insights into Egypt’s ancient past.
The first stop on your tour is the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), one of the largest and most impressive museums in the world.
Home to over 50,000 artifacts, this museum showcases the vast history of ancient Egypt.
The Treasures of Tutankhamun are one of the museum’s highlights, with Tutankhamun’s golden mask and his stunning jewelry pieces on display.
You will also get a chance to see the Royal Mummies, preserved remains of Egypt’s most famous rulers, offering a rare glimpse into Egypt’s ancient burial practices. Your guide will walk you through these exhibits, explaining their cultural and historical significance.
After your museum visit, you’ll enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo, where you can taste famous Egyptian dishes like koshari (a hearty mix of rice, lentils, pasta, and chickpeas), moussaka (a delicious eggplant dish), and falafel. The meal will provide a perfect opportunity to relax and discuss the ancient treasures you’ve seen so far.
In the afternoon, you will head to the Giza Plateau to visit the Pyramids of Giza. These massive structures, built over 4,500 years ago, remain as iconic symbols of ancient Egypt.
Your guide will take you on a tour of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the three pyramids, and explain how this architectural wonder was constructed. You’ll also explore the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, each with its own unique features.
Don’t forget to capture stunning photos of the Great Sphinx, the massive limestone statue that guards the pyramids, with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh, thought to represent Khafre.
After a day filled with history, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Cairo or Giza to relax and unwind.
