2 Days Trip To The Grand Egyptian Museum From Sahl Hasheesh By private Car
D / 1
Grand Egyptian Museum & The Pyramids of Giza
Your journey begins with a private transfer from your hotel in Sahl Hasheesh to Cairo, offering a comfortable and scenic drive through Egypt’s vast desert and the picturesque Nile River. Upon arrival in Cairo, you’ll be greeted by your expert Egyptologist guide, who will provide detailed insights into Egypt’s rich history throughout the day.
Kick off your exploration at the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), one of the largest and most modern museums in the world. GEM houses over 100,000 ancient Egyptian artifacts, including the stunning Treasures of Tutankhamun—the world-renowned golden death mask, intricate royal jewelry, and other personal treasures of the young pharaoh. Your private guide will share captivating stories about King Tutankhamun and the significance of the museum’s collections, helping you understand Egypt’s fascinating ancient culture and history.
After your enriching visit to the GEM, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo. Sample the country’s famous dishes such as koshari, a flavorful mix of rice, lentils, and pasta, falafel, crispy deep-fried chickpea balls, and moussaka, a delicious eggplant casserole.
In the afternoon, head to the Giza Plateau, home to the legendary Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Marvel at the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the three pyramids and the only remaining wonder of the ancient world. Learn about the mystery behind its construction and its historical significance. Continue exploring the Pyramid of Khafre, known for its beautifully preserved limestone casing at the top, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three. Your guide will provide detailed information about the architecture, burial practices, and fascinating stories surrounding these monumental tombs.
No visit to the Pyramids of Giza is complete without seeing the Great Sphinx—the colossal statue of a lion with the face of a pharaoh (believed to be Khafre), guarding the pyramids for thousands of years. Capture incredible photos and hear about the Sphinx’s historical and cultural significance.
After exploring the awe-inspiring Giza Plateau, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Cairo or Giza, where you can unwind and reflect on your memorable first day.

Grand Egyptian Museum & The Pyramids of Giza
Start the second day with a delicious breakfast at your hotel in Cairo or Giza. Afterward, your private guide will pick you up and take you on a full day of discovery in Old Cairo.
Your day begins with a visit to the Citadel of Salah al-Din, one of Cairo’s most famous historical sites. This impressive fortress offers panoramic views of the city and was once the center of Egypt’s political and military power. Explore the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, also known as the Alabaster Mosque, which dominates the Citadel’s skyline. Admire its Ottoman architecture, grand dome, and stunning interiors.
Next, head to Coptic Cairo to visit the Hanging Church (Saint Sergius and Bacchus Church), one of the oldest and most significant Christian sites in Egypt. Dating back to the 3rd century, this historic church is built over the Roman fortress of Babylon and is renowned for its distinctive architectural design. Learn about its religious importance and the role of Coptic Christians in Egyptian history.
After exploring the Citadel and the Hanging Church, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Relish in the flavors of Egyptian cuisine, such as stuffed grape leaves, moussaka, and koshari, while reflecting on your day’s discoveries.
In the afternoon, head to the bustling Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of Cairo’s oldest and most famous markets. This vibrant market is a true cultural experience, filled with shops selling spices, handmade jewelry, textiles, and unique Egyptian souvenirs. Wander through the narrow streets, haggle with local vendors, and find one-of-a-kind treasures to bring home as keepsakes.
After your exploration of Old Cairo, you will be transferred back to Sahl Hasheesh in the comfort of your private vehicle, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel to relax and unwind after your enriching two-day journey through Egypt’s most iconic landmarks.
