Grand Egyptian Museum & The Pyramids of Giza

Start your 2-day adventure with a private transfer from your hotel in Hurghada to Cairo. Enjoy a comfortable and scenic drive through Egypt’s vast desert landscapes, where you’ll witness the beauty of the Egyptian countryside. Along the way, marvel at the breathtaking views of the Nile River as you travel toward Cairo. Upon arrival, you will be met by your expert Egyptologist guide, who will accompany you throughout the day, ensuring an enriching experience.

Your first stop is the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), located at the foot of the Pyramids of Giza. As one of the largest and most significant museums in the world, the GEM houses over 100,000 ancient Egyptian artifacts, including the Treasures of Tutankhamun. Explore the museum’s stunning collections, including the world-famous golden mask of King Tutankhamun, the intricate jewelry, and his personal belongings, all found in the Valley of the Kings. Your Egyptologist guide will share the fascinating history behind these artifacts and explain their significance in ancient Egyptian society. The museum’s state-of-the-art galleries provide a comprehensive understanding of ancient Egypt, from everyday life to royal grandeur.

After your exploration of the GEM, it’s time to indulge in a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo. Savor a variety of authentic Egyptian dishes, such as koshari (a flavorful mix of lentils, rice, pasta, and tomato sauce), falafel (deep-fried chickpea patties), moussaka (a savory eggplant dish), and stuffed grape leaves. This is the perfect opportunity to relax and refuel before your next adventure.

In the afternoon, travel to the Giza Plateau, home to the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest of the three and remains the only surviving wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Your Egyptologist guide will explain the impressive engineering behind the pyramid’s construction, which is still a mystery to this day. Next, visit the Pyramid of Khafre, known for its limestone casing and the Great Sphinx, a monumental statue with the body of a lion and the face of the pharaoh Khafre. The Sphinx has been standing guard over the pyramids for millennia, and your guide will share the myths and legends associated with this enigmatic statue. Don’t forget to take plenty of photos to capture the grandeur of these ancient wonders.

After an enriching day of exploration, you will be transferred to your hotel in Cairo or Giza, where you can unwind and reflect on the incredible sights you’ve experienced. Enjoy the evening at leisure, perhaps by visiting a local café or taking a relaxing stroll along the Nile River.

Old Cairo Exploration

Start your second day with a delicious breakfast at your hotel. Afterward, your private guide will pick you up for another day of discovery, focusing on the ancient history of Old Cairo.

The day begins with a visit to the Citadel of Salah al-Din, a monumental fortress that offers panoramic views of Cairo. Built in the 12th century, the Citadel was once the seat of Egypt’s rulers and played a significant role in the defense of Cairo. Within the Citadel, explore the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, also known as the Alabaster Mosque, which dominates the skyline with its grand architecture and white alabaster walls. The mosque’s design is inspired by Ottoman-style mosques and offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of Cairo. Your guide will share the rich history of the Citadel and its significance as a military stronghold.

Next, head to Coptic Cairo, where you’ll visit the Hanging Church (Saint Sergius and Bacchus Church). This ancient church, dating back to the 3rd century, is one of the oldest and most important Christian sites in Egypt. The church is named after its unique location, suspended above the ground, and it is famous for its architectural beauty and historical significance. Learn about the early Christian history in Egypt and the church’s role as a center of worship for centuries.

After exploring the Citadel and Hanging Church, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo. Try koshari, stuffed grape leaves, and other Egyptian delicacies, offering you a true taste of Egyptian culture and hospitality.

In the afternoon, visit the vibrant and bustling Khan El Khalili Bazaar in Islamic Cairo. This historic market has been a trade center for centuries, and today it remains a lively hub where you can shop for spices, handicrafts, gold jewelry, perfumes, and unique Egyptian souvenirs. Your guide will share the history of the bazaar, which has been a marketplace since the 14th century, and you can spend time wandering through its narrow alleys, soaking in the atmosphere, and finding perfect mementos of your trip to Egypt.

After a day filled with historical exploration, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel in Hurghada. Enjoy a relaxing ride through Egypt’s picturesque desert landscapes, reflecting on the incredible experiences and memories of your 2-day Cairo adventure.
