Overnight Trip to the Pyramids from Hurghada by Flight – Private Tour to Cairo’s Ancient Wonders
Day 1: Hurghada to Cairo – Exploring the Heart of Ancient Egypt
Begin your adventure with a short flight from Hurghada to Cairo, where you will be greeted by your private Egyptologist guide and driver. Skip the long road trip and make the most of your time exploring Egypt’s treasures.
Your first destination is the Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Marvel at the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the three, and learn about the engineering marvels behind these ancient structures. Next, visit the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, and hear fascinating stories about their construction and significance as royal tombs.
Afterward, encounter the iconic Great Sphinx of Giza, the majestic lion-headed statue with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh. This legendary figure is one of Egypt’s most recognizable symbols, and your guide will unravel the mysteries surrounding this ancient monument. Capture unforgettable photos of the Sphinx with the pyramids in the background.
Indulge in a traditional Egyptian lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant near the pyramids or along the Nile River, offering an opportunity to taste Egyptian delicacies like koshari, grilled kebabs, and falafel.
Continue your exploration with a visit to the ancient Saqqara necropolis, where you will discover the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the first stone pyramid ever built in Egypt. This groundbreaking structure, designed by Imhotep, paved the way for later pyramid developments. Wander through the area and explore the fascinating tombs and mastabas that provide insight into ancient Egyptian burial practices.
Next, visit Memphis, the first capital of ancient Egypt, now an open-air museum. Here, you’ll encounter impressive artifacts, including the colossal statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx, which symbolize the grandeur of Memphis as a political and religious hub.
In the evening, check in to a comfortable 4-star hotel in Cairo to relax and recharge for your second day of exploration. Your hotel offers premium amenities, ensuring a peaceful retreat after a day filled with Egypt’s ancient wonders.
Day 2: Cairo Highlights – Citadel, Museums, and Bazaar
Start your second day with a delicious breakfast at your hotel before heading out to explore Cairo’s Islamic, pharaonic, and modern history. The first stop is the Citadel of Saladin, a medieval fortress built by Sultan Saladin in the 12th century to protect Cairo from Crusader attacks. The Citadel offers panoramic views of Cairo, including the majestic Nile River and the sprawling city below.
Within the citadel, you’ll visit the stunning Mohamed Ali Mosque, often referred to as the Alabaster Mosque due to its gleaming alabaster-covered walls. This Ottoman-style mosque is an architectural masterpiece, with grand domes, towering minarets, and intricate designs that reflect Egypt’s Islamic heritage. Learn about the historical significance of this mosque and its influence on Cairo’s architectural landscape.
Next, explore the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, one of the most important museums in Egypt. This modern museum showcases a wealth of ancient Egyptian artifacts, spanning thousands of years of history. A major highlight is the Royal Mummies Hall, where you can view the preserved remains of famous pharaohs like Ramses II, Hatshepsut, and Tutankhamun. The museum offers a fascinating look at Egyptian mummification practices, as well as the cultural evolution from the Pharaonic to the Greco-Roman periods.
Enjoy a delectable Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, featuring authentic dishes like stuffed grape leaves, fatta, and shawarma. Relish the bold flavors of Egypt’s culinary traditions while reflecting on the historical sites you’ve explored.
If time allows, immerse yourself in the bustling atmosphere of Khan El Khalili Bazaar, Cairo’s most famous marketplace. Wander through narrow alleyways lined with colorful stalls offering handmade crafts, exquisite jewelry, spices, traditional perfumes, and souvenirs. This vibrant marketplace is the perfect place to experience the energy of Cairo’s local culture and take home unique mementos from your journey.
After your visit to the bazaar, enjoy a smooth transfer to the Cairo International Airport for your return flight to Hurghada. Relax during the short flight as you reflect on the unforgettable memories you’ve made exploring the ancient Pyramids, the Royal Mummies, and the treasures of Cairo’s historical landmarks. Upon arrival in Hurghada, you will be transferred back to your hotel, concluding your 2-day private tour with lasting memories of Egypt’s majestic heritage.
