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.
