Description

Overnight trip to the Pyramids From El Quseir by Car
Day 1: Travel from El Quseir to the Pyramids of Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis

Begin your private 2-day tour with a pickup from your hotel in El Quseir, a peaceful coastal town on the Red Sea. Board your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle for a 5–6 hour drive across Egypt’s desert terrain, en route to the bustling city of Cairo. As you pass through this iconic desert landscape, enjoy the contrasts between the vast desert sands and the lush greenery along the Nile River.

 

Your first stop upon arrival in Cairo is the Pyramids of Giza, where you’ll explore the iconic Great Pyramid of Khufu—the largest and most impressive pyramid in Egypt. Marvel at the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure, each a magnificent representation of ancient Egyptian architecture and engineering prowess. Stand in awe before the Great Sphinx, an iconic figure representing the divine power and wisdom of ancient Egypt.

 

Following this, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, offering authentic dishes such as grilled meats, rice dishes, and Egyptian bread. Take in the flavors of Egypt’s rich culinary heritage, which dates back thousands of years.

 

Next, head to Saqqara, where the Step Pyramid of Djoser stands as a groundbreaking testament to ancient Egyptian architecture. This pyramid is considered the world’s first and marks the beginning of the great pyramid-building tradition. Explore the tombs, mastabas, and burial sites, and learn about the ancient Egyptian afterlife and the role of rituals in their daily lives.

 

The final stop of the day is Memphis, Egypt’s first capital and a center of power in the Old Kingdom. Visit the open-air museum, where the colossal statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx remain as symbols of Egypt’s ancient splendor.

 

Check-in at your 4-star hotel in Cairo, where you can relax and enjoy a restful evening after a day of exploring Egypt’s rich history.

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

Begin your second day with a hearty breakfast at your hotel before heading out to explore Cairo’s historic Islamic landmarks. Visit the Citadel of Saladin, a magnificent fortress perched high above the city. This ancient Islamic site offers panoramic views of the city and the Nile River. Inside the citadel, you’ll find the Mohamed Ali Mosque, known for its breathtaking Ottoman design and its shimmering alabaster walls.

 

Next, head to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, a modern museum showcasing Egypt’s long and rich history. The Royal Mummies Hall is one of the museum’s standout exhibits, where you’ll encounter the preserved mummies of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs, including Ramses II and Hatshepsut. Discover the evolution of Egypt’s civilization, from ancient tombs to modern-day Egypt.

 

For lunch, enjoy another delicious Egyptian meal at a reputable local restaurant, with falafel, stuffed pigeon, and baklava being popular favorites among the locals.

 

In the afternoon, dive into the lively atmosphere of Khan El Khalili Bazaar, a bustling marketplace filled with artisan crafts, spices, gold jewelry, and other handcrafted items. This market offers an authentic taste of Cairo’s vibrant culture and is perfect for shopping and exploring.

 

Conclude your day with a scenic drive back to El Quseir, bringing your Egypt adventure to a close as you reflect on the incredible sights and historical landmarks you’ve encountered.
