D / 1
Discovering the Pyramids of Giza and the Iconic Sphinx
Begin your adventure with a morning flight from Hurghada to Cairo (approximately 1 hour). Upon arrival, your private driver will take you directly to the Great Pyramids of Giza, one of the most awe-inspiring sights in the world.
Here, you’ll explore the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and oldest of the three pyramids. Your expert Egyptologist guide will provide an in-depth explanation of the historical and architectural significance of the pyramids. You’ll learn about the ancient Egyptians’ incredible engineering techniques and the theories surrounding how these monumental structures were built.
Next, you’ll visit the Sphinx, the legendary limestone statue with the body of a lion and the face of a Pharaoh (believed to be Pharaoh Khafre). Your guide will reveal the various myths and stories surrounding the Sphinx, including its symbolic role as a protector of the pharaohs’ tombs. The Sphinx is one of the most recognizable icons of ancient Egypt, and standing before it is truly a humbling experience.
After exploring the pyramids and the Sphinx, enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Try popular dishes like koshari, molokhia, and falafel to get a taste of authentic Egyptian cuisine.
In the afternoon, visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), which houses one of the world’s largest and most extensive collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Here, you’ll see over 100,000 objects, including the famous treasures of King Tutankhamun, such as his golden death mask, jewelry, and many other priceless artifacts. Your guide will provide fascinating insights into the daily life, religion, and culture of ancient Egypt, making the museum a rich educational experience. After a full day of exploring, you’ll return to your hotel in Cairo for a relaxing evening.
D / 2
Exploring Memphis, Saqqara, and Dahshur
After breakfast, your private driver will pick you up from your hotel for another exciting day of exploration. Start with a visit to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt and a key cultural center for over 3,000 years.
Memphis is home to the colossal statue of Ramses II, one of the most impressive statues of the pharaohs, as well as the Alabaster Sphinx, a symbol of the city’s religious and cultural significance. Your guide will give you an in-depth history of Memphis and explain how it shaped ancient Egyptian politics and culture.
Continue your journey to Saqqara, where you will discover the Step Pyramid of Djoser. This pyramid, built during the Third Dynasty, is the first pyramid ever constructed and represents the transition from earlier mastaba tombs to monumental stone pyramids. The Step Pyramid is one of Egypt’s most important archaeological sites, and as you explore it, your guide will explain the significance of its design and the innovations introduced by the architect Imhotep.
Next, head to Dahshur, where you’ll see the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, both built by Pharaoh Sneferu. The Bent Pyramid is unique because of its unusual shape, where the angle of the sides changes midway up, leading to its name. The Red Pyramid is Egypt’s first true smooth-sided pyramid, marking a key milestone in pyramid construction. These two sites provide a deeper understanding of the evolution of Egyptian pyramid design.
After lunch at a local restaurant, continue to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo’s Tahrir Square. This world-renowned museum boasts over 120,000 artifacts from ancient Egypt, including the famous treasures from King Tutankhamun’s tomb. As you explore the museum’s vast collection, your guide will offer insights into the social, cultural, and religious aspects of ancient Egyptian life, helping to bring history to life. After an enriching day of exploration, return to your hotel to relax and prepare for another day of discovery.

Exploring Islamic Cairo and Cultural Heritage
On your final day, immerse yourself in the vibrant cultural and historical heart of Islamic Cairo. Your journey begins with a visit to the Citadel of Salah El-Din, a stunning fortress perched on a hill overlooking Cairo. This strategic site was the heart of Egypt’s military power during the medieval period and offers panoramic views of the city. As you explore the Citadel, your guide will share stories of its role in Islamic history, including its significance during the Crusades.
Inside the Citadel, you’ll visit the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, also known as the Alabaster Mosque. This mosque is one of Cairo’s most famous landmarks and is renowned for its massive dome and elegant Ottoman-style architecture. The intricate decorations inside the mosque, combined with the stunning views of Cairo, will leave you in awe of the artistry and historical significance of Islamic Cairo.
Next, you’ll head to Coptic Cairo, the area known for its Christian heritage. Visit the Ben Ezra Synagogue, one of the oldest synagogues in Egypt, which offers a glimpse into the long history of Jewish communities in the region. The synagogue’s history dates back to the 9th century, and your guide will explain its connection to biblical stories and its role in the region’s religious history.
You’ll also visit ancient Coptic churches and monasteries, each with unique architectural styles and fascinating histories. Learn about Egypt’s early Christian history and the role of these religious sites in shaping Egypt’s religious diversity.
After a traditional Egyptian lunch, you’ll explore the bustling Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest markets in the Middle East. The bazaar is a maze of narrow streets filled with stalls selling everything from spices and jewelry to textiles and souvenirs. It’s the perfect place to shop for unique items or simply enjoy the lively atmosphere of Cairo’s market culture.
In the evening, you’ll be transferred to Cairo International Airport for your return flight to Hurghada. Enjoy a relaxing flight back to Hurghada, reflecting on the rich history and cultural treasures you’ve experienced during your unforgettable journey.
