Explore the Pyramids of Giza
Your private day trip from El Gouna, a charming resort town known for its pristine beaches and vibrant Red Sea atmosphere, begins with a smooth pick-up from your hotel.

Upon arrival in Cairo, the cradle of ancient Egyptian civilization, your adventure starts with a visit to the iconic Pyramids of Giza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and tallest pyramid, stands at an impressive height of over 140 meters, showcasing an extraordinary feat of ancient engineering. Explore the Pyramid of Khafre, the second-largest pyramid, known for its unique limestone casing that once covered the entire structure. You’ll also visit the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest pyramid, yet still a remarkable sight with its distinct architectural features. As you marvel at these towering monuments, be sure to see the Great Sphinx, an iconic statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, symbolizing wisdom, strength, and the enduring power of ancient Egypt.
Around noon, enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch at a specially chosen local restaurant.
