Comfortable Drive through Scenic Landscapes

Your adventure begins with a private car transfer from your hotel in Hurghada to Cairo. Enjoy a smooth and comfortable ride through Egypt’s vast desert landscapes in an air-conditioned vehicle.

You can relax, take in the views, and make a stop at a cozy rest area to stretch your legs and grab a coffee. Once you reach Cairo, your professional Egyptologist guide will be waiting to take you on a memorable journey through Egypt’s ancient wonders.

Explore Memphis City – The Ancient Capital of Egypt

The first stop on your journey is Memphis, Egypt’s first capital and one of the most important cities in ancient Egyptian history.

Founded by Pharaoh Narmer, Memphis was the political and cultural center of Egypt for over 3,000 years. Here, you’ll encounter the impressive Colossus of Ramses II, a colossal statue of one of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs. The statue once stood at the entrance of Ramses II’s grand temple.

In addition to the colossus, you can explore the open-air museum of Memphis, where you’ll find numerous statues, sarcophagi, and ancient relics, offering insights into the lives of Egypt’s ancient kings, queens, and gods.

Saqqara – The Necropolis of Ancient Egypt

Next, you’ll head to Saqqara, Egypt’s ancient burial ground and necropolis, where many of Memphis’s rulers were laid to rest.

At Saqqara, you’ll see the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s oldest large-scale stone structure. This remarkable pyramid, designed by the architect Imhotep, marks the beginning of Egypt’s pyramid-building era.

As you stand before the pyramid, your guide will explain its construction and significance. You’ll also have the opportunity to explore nearby tombs and temples, each adorned with intricate carvings and hieroglyphs that tell stories of pharaohs, gods, and daily life. A highlight of Saqqara is the Tomb of Mereruka, which features beautiful wall paintings and detailed reliefs.

Lunch

After a fascinating morning, enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo. This is your chance to taste authentic Egyptian dishes such as Koshari (a hearty mix of lentils, rice, pasta, and crispy onions), Falafel (crispy chickpea balls), Moussaka (eggplant casserole), and Fool Medames (stewed fava beans).

These dishes provide a flavorful break before continuing your journey to the next historical site.

The Egyptian Museum

In the afternoon, visit the Egyptian Museum, one of the world’s largest collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts. The museum houses over 120,000 items, including the renowned Treasures of Tutankhamun. Among the treasures is Tutankhamun’s famous golden mask and other magnificent jewelry discovered in his tomb.

Your guide will explain the significance of these items and the myths surrounding their discovery.

Additionally, you’ll have the chance to visit the Royal Mummies Hall, where you can view the mummies of powerful pharaohs like Ramses II, Seti I, and Queen Hatshepsut.

Relaxing Drive Back to Hurghada

As the sun begins to set, enjoy a relaxing drive back to Hurghada in your private car. Reflect on the incredible historical sites you’ve seen, from the ancient Pyramids of Saqqara to the treasures of Tutankhamun in the Egyptian Museum.

The comfortable ride through Egypt’s scenic landscapes gives you time to unwind and process the amazing sights and stories you’ve experienced throughout the day.
