Description

2 Days Trip To The Grand Egyptian Museum From Marsa Alam By private Car

Day 1 / Grand Egyptian Museum & The Pyramids of Giza

Your adventure begins with a comfortable private transfer from your hotel in Marsa Alam to Cairo. Travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, enjoying scenic views of the Egyptian desert landscape and the fertile Nile River as you head towards the bustling capital.

 

Upon your arrival in Cairo, you’ll head straight to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), a modern marvel that houses over 100,000 ancient Egyptian artifacts. As you explore the museum, your expert Egyptologist guide will provide fascinating insights into the treasures of King Tutankhamun, including his famous golden mask, jewelry, and royal belongings. The GEM also showcases artifacts from other dynasties, offering an in-depth look into Egypt’s glorious past.

 

After your tour of the GEM, enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Savor authentic dishes like koshari, falafel, moussaka, and stuffed grape leaves, which will give you a true taste of Egypt’s rich culinary traditions.

 

In the afternoon, your guide will take you to the Giza Plateau, home to the Pyramids of Giza and the world-renowned Great Sphinx. Marvel at the sheer scale and complexity of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the only remaining wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Learn about the mysteries surrounding the construction of these monumental tombs that date back over 4,500 years. Visit the Pyramid of Khafre, known for its preserved limestone casing at the top, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three.

 

Don’t forget to take photos of the Great Sphinx, the colossal limestone statue with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh.

 

After your exploration of the pyramids, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Cairo or Giza for an overnight stay. Take the evening to unwind and reflect on the day’s incredible sights.

Day 2 / Old Cairo Exploration

Start Day 2 with a hearty breakfast at your hotel in Cairo or Giza. Your private guide will pick you up, and you’ll continue your journey to explore the treasures of Old Cairo.

 

Your first stop will be the Citadel of Salah al-Din, a historic Islamic fortification that offers panoramic views of Cairo’s skyline. The Citadel once served as the seat of Egypt’s rulers, and within its walls, you’ll explore the Mosque of Muhammad Ali (also known as the Alabaster Mosque), one of Cairo’s most iconic landmarks. The mosque’s stunning Ottoman architecture and its elevated position give it a commanding view of the city.

 

Next, you’ll head to Coptic Cairo, where you’ll visit the Hanging Church (Saint Sergius and Bacchus). This church, dating back to the 3rd century, is famous for its unique hanging structure above a Roman gate. It holds significant religious importance and offers a glimpse into Egypt’s Christian history.

 

After visiting these two historic sites, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Enjoy more local specialties such as moussaka, koshari, and stuffed grape leaves, or try other regional favorites.

 

In the afternoon, your guide will take you to the famous Khan El Khalili Bazaar in Islamic Cairo. This lively, bustling market is a treasure trove of unique Egyptian souvenirs, spices, jewelry, textiles, and handicrafts. Wander through the narrow, colorful alleys, enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, and perhaps pick up some mementos to take home from your journey.

 

After a fulfilling day of exploring Cairo’s most iconic landmarks, you’ll be transferred back to Marsa Alam in a comfortable, private vehicle. Enjoy the scenic drive back through the Egyptian desert, reflecting on the incredible history and experiences you’ve encountered.
