2 Days Trip To The Grand Egyptian Museum From Port Ghalib By private Car
Day 1: Grand Egyptian Museum & The Pyramids of Giza

Start your adventure with a private transfer from your hotel in Port Ghalib to Cairo. Enjoy a comfortable drive through the scenic Egyptian desert landscape and the mighty Nile River, taking in views of Egypt’s natural beauty.

 

Upon arriving in Cairo, head directly to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). One of the world’s largest museums, GEM houses over 100,000 artifacts, including the famous treasures of King Tutankhamun. Your expert guide will take you on a comprehensive tour, showcasing King Tut’s golden mask, jewelry, and other priceless relics. The museum also features collections of ancient Egyptian statues, carvings, and more, making it a captivating destination for history enthusiasts.

 

After your visit to the GEM, enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Sample authentic dishes like koshari, falafel, moussaka, and stuffed grape leaves, giving you a taste of Egypt’s vibrant culinary culture.

 

In the afternoon, your guide will take you to the Giza Plateau, home to the world-famous Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx. Marvel at the sheer size and grandeur of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the only surviving wonder of the ancient world. Explore the Pyramid of Khafre, known for its well-preserved limestone casing, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three. Don’t miss the opportunity to snap pictures of the Great Sphinx, the colossal statue with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh, guarding the pyramids for centuries.

 

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 relax and reflect on the awe-inspiring sights you’ve experienced.

Day 2: Old Cairo Exploration

Start Day 2 with breakfast at your hotel in Cairo or Giza. Your private Egyptologist guide will pick you up for another day of exploration in Old Cairo.

 

Your day begins with a visit to the Citadel of Salah al-Din, a historic Islamic fortress offering panoramic views of Cairo. The Citadel was once the seat of Egypt’s rulers, and within it, you’ll visit the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, also known as the Alabaster Mosque. Admire its Ottoman architecture and the views from its elevated position, which overlooks the city.

 

Next, head to Coptic Cairo to visit the Hanging Church (Saint Sergius and Bacchus), a historic church dating back to the 3rd century. It is built above a Roman gate and is one of Egypt’s most famous Christian landmarks, offering a unique glimpse into Egypt’s early Christian history.

 

After your cultural exploration, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Taste Egyptian specialties such as moussaka, koshari, and stuffed grape leaves, and enjoy the lively atmosphere of a local eatery.

 

In the afternoon, visit the bustling Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest and most famous markets in Islamic Cairo. Wander through the vibrant stalls filled with spices, jewelry, and handcrafts, and immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of this centuries-old marketplace. It’s a great place to shop for unique souvenirs, including traditional Egyptian textiles and artisan goods.

 

After a full day of exploring the historic landmarks of Old Cairo, you will be transferred back to Port Ghalib. Enjoy a comfortable drive back to your hotel, reflecting on the rich history and incredible sights you’ve experienced.
