Day trip to Giza Pyramids and Saqqara from El Quseir by Private Car

Start your private day trip from El Quseir, a tranquil coastal town along the Red Sea, known for its rich history, stunning beaches, and proximity to ancient Egyptian landmarks. Your journey will begin in the comfort of an air-conditioned vehicle, ensuring a smooth and relaxing ride as you travel through Egypt’s vast desert landscapes toward the heart of ancient civilization—Cairo. The scenic drive provides a serene contrast to the bustling modern city of Cairo and offers glimpses of Egypt’s dramatic desert terrain.

Upon arrival in Cairo, your first stop is the Pyramids of Giza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Great Pyramid of Khufu, also known as the Pyramid of Cheops, is the largest and oldest of the three pyramids, standing tall at 146 meters. It is a testament to the ancient Egyptians’ incredible engineering skills and remains a captivating symbol of Egypt’s grandeur. You will also visit the Pyramid of Khafre, distinguished by the remnants of its original limestone casing, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest yet equally magnificent of the trio. Adjacent to the pyramids, you’ll find the Great Sphinx, a majestic statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, symbolizing wisdom and strength. The Sphinx is one of Egypt’s most iconic monuments, and the panoramic viewpoint nearby offers the perfect opportunity to capture stunning photos of these remarkable structures.

At midday, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, where you’ll be treated to authentic Egyptian dishes such as koshari, a flavorful mix of rice, lentils, pasta, and tomato sauce; shawarma, spiced meat wrapped in pita bread; grilled kebabs, and stuffed grape leaves, all made with fresh ingredients and traditional spices. This delightful meal will give you a true taste of Egyptian culinary culture, offering both rich flavors and a glimpse into the daily dining customs of Egyptians.
