Day Trip To The Grand Egyptian Museum From Marsa Alam By Private Car
Private Transfer from Marsa Alam to Cairo
Your unforgettable day trip begins with a private transfer from Marsa Alam to Cairo in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. As you journey through Egypt’s breathtaking desert landscapes, enjoy scenic views of the Nile River and the unique beauty of the Egyptian countryside. This relaxing drive provides the perfect opportunity to take in the serene surroundings before arriving in the bustling capital.

Once you reach Cairo, you will meet your expert Egyptologist guide, who will lead you through Egypt’s rich history and explain the fascinating stories behind the ancient monuments you are about to visit.
Explore the Iconic Pyramids of Giza
Your first destination in Cairo is the legendary Giza Plateau, home to the world-famous Pyramids of Giza. These monumental structures, built over 4,500 years ago, continue to amaze visitors with their grandeur and architectural precision.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and most famous of the three, is the only remaining wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Your Egyptologist guide will provide in-depth knowledge about its construction and the ancient mysteries surrounding it.
You will also visit the Pyramid of Khafre, renowned for its well-preserved limestone casing and its proximity to the Great Sphinx. Learn about the myths and legends that have surrounded this pyramid for centuries.
The third pyramid at Giza is the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three. Despite its size, it’s an extraordinary example of ancient Egyptian architecture, and your guide will share fascinating insights into its purpose and significance.
No trip to the Giza Plateau would be complete without a visit to the Great Sphinx. This colossal statue, with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh (believed to represent Khafre), stands as a symbol of strength and wisdom. Your guide will tell you the fascinating stories and mysteries surrounding the Sphinx, including its significance in ancient Egyptian rituals.
Traditional Egyptian Lunch
After exploring the Giza Plateau, indulge in a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo. Experience the rich flavors of authentic Egyptian dishes such as koshari, falafel, moussaka, and stuffed grape leaves. This is the perfect opportunity to relax and recharge before continuing your journey through Egypt’s historical landmarks.
Visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)
In the afternoon, your tour continues with a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), one of the largest and most modern archaeological museums in the world. Located at the foot of the Giza Plateau, the museum boasts over 100,000 artifacts, offering an unparalleled glimpse into ancient Egyptian civilization.
The highlight of your visit is the Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibit, where you’ll see the iconic golden mask of King Tutankhamun, along with his royal jewelry and other priceless artifacts. These treasures were discovered in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter and offer fascinating insights into the life and death of one of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs.
You will also explore the Royal Mummies Hall, where you can view the preserved remains of ancient Egyptian rulers, and the Pharaohs and Gods Gallery, which brings Egypt’s gods and pharaohs to life through stunning statues, carvings, and hieroglyphs.
Throughout your visit to the GEM, your Egyptologist guide will share detailed information about Egypt’s ancient culture, religion, and daily life, providing a deeper understanding of this extraordinary civilization.
