Day 1: Departure from El Gouna to the Pyramids of Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis

Begin your private 2-day tour with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in El Gouna, a beautiful Red Sea resort town known for its luxurious accommodations and picturesque beaches. Sit back and relax in your air-conditioned vehicle, enjoying the 5–6 hour scenic drive across Egypt’s desert landscape. As you travel, take in the vastness of the Egyptian desert and the fertile Nile River valley, which has sustained life in this region for thousands of years.

Your first destination in Cairo is the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza, where you will explore the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, each an impressive example of ancient Egyptian engineering and architectural brilliance. As you stand before the Great Sphinx, one of the world’s most iconic monuments, you’ll witness the symbolism of the lion-headed creature that embodies strength and protection.

Afterward, enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch at a nearby restaurant, where you can sample authentic local dishes like grilled meats, rice, and Egyptian bread, giving you a true taste of the country’s culinary traditions.

The tour then continues to Saqqara, home to the world’s oldest pyramid, the Step Pyramid of Djoser. Explore the groundbreaking work of Imhotep, the ancient architect who revolutionized Egyptian construction with this early pyramid design. You’ll also visit several ancient tombs and mastabas, where you can gain insight into Egypt’s burial practices and religious beliefs.

Your final stop of the day is Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where you can admire the colossal statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx, both of which reflect the grandeur and artistry of the Old Kingdom.

After this full day of exploration, check into your 4-star hotel in Cairo to unwind and enjoy a relaxing evening.

Day 2: Explore the Citadel of Saladin, Mohamed Ali Mosque, Egyptian Museum, and Khan El Khalili Bazaar

Start your second day with a delicious breakfast at your hotel, preparing you for a day of discovering Cairo’s remarkable historical and cultural sites. The first stop is the Citadel of Saladin, a medieval Islamic fortress perched on a hill with breathtaking views of Cairo and the Nile River. Built in the 12th century by Sultan Saladin, the citadel houses the Mohamed Ali Mosque, also known as the Alabaster Mosque due to its stunning alabaster walls. The mosque’s grandeur and Ottoman architectural style are a testament to Cairo’s rich Islamic history.

Next, visit the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, home to one of the world’s finest collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts. One of the museum’s highlights is the Royal Mummies Hall, where you’ll be face-to-face with the preserved remains of famous pharaohs, including Ramses II, Hatshepsut, and Seti I. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of ancient Egypt’s royal heritage, religious practices, and cultural evolution.

For lunch, enjoy a meal at a local restaurant, where you can sample molokhia (a savory green soup), grilled fish, and Egyptian pastries like baklava or basbousa for dessert.

In the afternoon, immerse yourself in the vibrant Khan El Khalili Bazaar, Cairo’s most famous shopping district. This bustling market is a sensory experience, filled with the aromas of spices, the sound of haggling vendors, and the sight of handmade crafts, gold jewelry, scarves, and souvenirs. Whether you’re looking for traditional Egyptian handicrafts or unique souvenirs, this marketplace offers something for everyone.

As your 2-day private tour comes to an end, embark on the scenic drive back to El Gouna, where you’ll arrive in the evening, full of wonderful memories from your adventure in Egypt’s ancient and modern landmarks.
