Overnight trip to the Pyramids From Port Ghalib by Car

Your private 2-day tour begins with a comfortable pickup directly from your hotel in Port Ghalib, a serene Red Sea resort known for its luxury and scenic coastal views. As you start your journey, relax in your air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy the stunning 5–6 hour drive across Egypt’s vast desert landscapes and vibrant Nile River valley. The journey offers a unique opportunity to witness the contrast between the desert and the lushness of the Nile as you make your way to the heart of Egypt’s ancient history in Cairo.

Your first stop upon arrival is the legendary Pyramids of Giza. Here, you’ll have the chance to explore the iconic Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. These architectural marvels are not only a testament to the genius of ancient Egyptian engineering but also to the spiritual significance they held for the ancient Egyptians. Be sure to visit the Great Sphinx, a mythical figure with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, guarding the pyramids for thousands of years.

After exploring the pyramids, enjoy a delightful Egyptian lunch at a carefully selected restaurant near the Pyramids or along the Nile River. Enjoy local delicacies such as grilled meats, Egyptian falafel (taameya), and rice dishes, while relaxing in the picturesque setting.

Following lunch, continue your adventure to Saqqara, home to the oldest pyramid in Egypt, the Step Pyramid of Djoser. Marvel at the ingenious design created by the architect Imhotep, which marked a turning point in the history of pyramid construction. As you explore the surrounding tombs and mastabas, you’ll gain insight into the ancient Egyptian burial practices and the evolution of their monumental architecture.

The final destination for the day is Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. Here, you’ll visit the open-air museum, which houses the majestic colossal statue of Ramses II, as well as the Alabaster Sphinx, both showcasing the grandeur of Egypt’s Old Kingdom.

After a full day of exploration, check into your comfortable 4-star hotel in Cairo to rest and unwind, preparing for another day of historical and cultural discovery.
