Comfortable Flight from Hurghada to Cairo
Start your day with a private transfer from your hotel in Hurghada to Hurghada International Airport, where you’ll board a short, scenic flight to Cairo. The flight offers a quick and comfortable journey, giving you more time to explore the ancient wonders awaiting you in Egypt’s bustling capital.

The Giza Plateau – Home of the Pyramids
Your journey begins at the Giza Plateau, home to the world’s most iconic ancient monuments—the Great Pyramids of Giza. The Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the three and the only surviving wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is a true marvel, its sheer size and the mystery of its construction over 4,500 years ago leaving visitors in awe. Nearby, the Pyramid of Khafre stands with its preserved limestone casing at the top, and its proximity to the legendary Great Sphinx—a colossal limestone statue with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh, guarding the pyramids for millennia. The smallest of the three, the Pyramid of Menkaure, offers a more intricate burial chamber, showcasing the complexities of pharaonic tombs. As you explore these monumental structures, your guide will share fascinating myths and mysteries surrounding these ancient wonders, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to capture stunning photos, creating lasting memories of these awe-inspiring sites.

It’s the perfect opportunity to recharge and refresh before your next adventure.
Grand Egyptian Museum – A World of Ancient Treasures
Following lunch, your exploration continues with a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), one of the largest and most significant museums in the world. Recently opened, this cutting-edge museum houses over 100,000 artifacts, providing a fascinating window into ancient Egyptian civilization and offering a deeper understanding of Egypt’s glorious past.
One of the standout highlights is the Treasures of Tutankhamun, which includes the iconic golden mask, intricate jewelry, and personal belongings of the boy king. These treasures, discovered in his tomb in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter, are among the most famous and valuable artifacts ever found. The museum also boasts an impressive collection of royal mummies, offering a rare glimpse into the burial practices and beliefs of ancient Egypt.
As you walk through the museum’s many halls, your guide will share the captivating stories behind the statues, carvings, and reliefs that depict Egypt’s gods, pharaohs, and everyday life, bringing to life the extraordinary legacy of this ancient civilization.
