Your private day trip begins with a hotel pick-up from your accommodation in Marsa Alam, a tranquil Red Sea resort town renowned for its stunning coral reefs, peaceful beaches, and proximity to nature reserves. After boarding your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, you’ll be transferred to Hurghada International Airport. Enjoy the scenic views as you drive through the expansive desert landscapes, passing vast golden dunes and glimpses of Egypt’s countryside before arriving at the airport to board your short flight to Cairo with a reliable airline like EgyptAir or Nile Air.
Upon your arrival in Cairo, your expert Egyptologist guide will meet you at the airport, ready to take you on a fascinating journey through Egypt’s ancient history. Your first stop will be the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and oldest of the three pyramids, standing at over 140 meters. Marvel at the Pyramid of Khafre, which retains some of its original limestone casing, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest but still an architectural marvel. The Great Sphinx, with its lion’s body and pharaoh’s face, stands guard over the pyramids, symbolizing wisdom, power, and protection. You’ll have plenty of time to capture stunning photographs of these ancient monuments set against the backdrop of the vast desert.
After exploring the Pyramids of Giza, enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant. The meal offers you a taste of Egypt’s rich culinary heritage, including dishes such as kebabs, grilled kofta, koshari (a hearty mix of rice, lentils, chickpeas, and pasta), falafel, and stuffed grape leaves. The meal will be paired with fresh pita bread, tahini dips, and salads, offering a satisfying and flavorful break in your adventure. This lunch will provide the perfect recharge before continuing your journey through Cairo’s historic landmarks.
