Explore The Pyramids of Giza

The Cultural for the pyramids

Start your adventure with a comfortable transfer from your hotel in El Gouna to Hurghada Airport. Once there, board your flight to Cairo, operated by a trusted airline such as EgyptAir or Nile Air. The short flight ensures you arrive early in Cairo, allowing you to maximize your time exploring the ancient wonders of this historic city. Upon arrival at Cairo International Airport, you’ll meet your expert Egyptologist guide, who will accompany you throughout the day, offering rich insights into Egypt’s ancient history and culture.

 

Your first stop will be the world-famous Giza Plateau, home to the iconic Pyramids of Giza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. You’ll be awe-struck by the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the oldest and largest of the three pyramids, standing as a testament to the ancient Egyptians’ engineering brilliance. You will also explore the Pyramid of Khafre, known for its remnants of original limestone casing, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the trio but equally captivating in its craftsmanship. The Great Sphinx, an imposing statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, guards the pyramids, symbolizing strength, wisdom, and protection. Capture unforgettable photographs at the panoramic viewpoint, where all three pyramids stand majestically against the desert’s golden expanse.

 

Around midday, enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant. Relish dishes such as grilled kofta, kebabs, koshari (a hearty blend of rice, pasta, lentils, and chickpeas), falafel, stuffed grape leaves, and freshly baked pita bread. This meal offers a delightful introduction to Egyptian cuisine, rich in flavor and cultural significance.

Explore Memphis – Egypt’s First Capital

The Pyramid of Saqqara Step Pyramid of Djoser

After lunch, continue your journey to Saqqara, one of Egypt’s most important archaeological sites. Here, you’ll find the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s first large-scale stone structure, designed by the visionary architect Imhotep. As you walk through this expansive necropolis, marvel at the beautifully decorated tombs, mastabas, and ancient monuments that reveal the early development of pyramid construction and the evolution of Egyptian architecture. Saqqara is an essential stop for understanding the innovations that laid the foundation for the later pyramids at Giza.

 

Next, travel to Memphis, Egypt’s first capital and a cultural and administrative hub for more than 3,000 years. As an open-air museum, Memphis showcases remarkable artifacts, including the monumental Statue of Ramses II, one of Egypt’s greatest pharaohs. The Alabaster Sphinx, an exquisitely preserved statue, symbolizes strength and protection, further enhancing the grandeur of Memphis as a center of Egyptian civilization.

 

After a full day of exploring Egypt’s ancient heritage, your guide will transfer you back to Cairo International Airport for your evening flight to Hurghada. Upon arrival in Hurghada, a private transfer will take you back to your hotel in El Gouna, concluding your memorable day filled with historical exploration and cultural discovery.

 

This comprehensive day trip from El Gouna to Cairo by flight offers a perfect balance of convenience, expert guidance, and cultural immersion, ensuring you experience the very best of Egypt’s ancient treasures. Whether marveling at the Pyramids of Giza, learning about the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, or exploring the ancient city of Memphis, this trip guarantees a day you will never forget.
