Day 1: Departure from Sahl Hasheesh to the Pyramids of Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis

Your private tour starts with a convenient pick-up from your hotel in Sahl Hasheesh, an elegant resort town located along the Red Sea coast. Sit back and relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as you embark on a 5–6 hour scenic drive through the vast Egyptian desert. During this journey, you will get to appreciate the contrasting landscapes, from the arid desert sands to the fertile Nile valley.

Your first stop in Cairo is the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza, which have stood as symbols of ancient Egypt for thousands of years. Explore the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest pyramid and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Marvel at the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure, each with its own unique story and significance. Learn about the incredible engineering and mathematical precision behind these monumental structures. As you stand before the majestic Great Sphinx of Giza, a figure with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, you’ll be immersed in the ancient mysticism and symbolism of ancient Egypt.

Afterward, enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant offering traditional dishes like koshari, grilled lamb, and falafel. Indulge in a feast that reflects Egypt’s rich and diverse culinary traditions.

The tour continues to Saqqara, where you’ll visit the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s first pyramid and one of Egypt’s most significant archaeological sites. Discover the work of Imhotep, the legendary architect who revolutionized ancient Egyptian architecture with this structure. Explore the surrounding tombs and mastabas, where you’ll learn about the burial practices and beliefs about the afterlife that shaped the ancient Egyptian world.

Your final stop of the day is Memphis, the capital of ancient Egypt during the Old Kingdom. Visit the open-air museum and see the colossal statue of Ramses II, a true testament to the power and grandeur of Egypt’s ancient rulers. Admire the Alabaster Sphinx, a magnificent stone statue that provides a glimpse into the artistry and skill of Egypt’s ancient craftsmen.

After a day filled with exploration, check-in at your 4-star hotel in Cairo. Unwind and relax, reflecting on the unforgettable sights you’ve just witnessed.

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

Start your second day with a hearty breakfast at your hotel before venturing out to explore the fascinating history of Cairo. Your first stop is the Citadel of Saladin, an imposing medieval Islamic fortress offering panoramic views of Cairo’s skyline and the Nile River. This fortress was constructed by Sultan Saladin in the 12th century and served as the center of Egypt’s military and political power for centuries. Inside, you’ll explore the Mohamed Ali Mosque, a grand Ottoman-style mosque renowned for its alabaster walls and its remarkable architectural beauty.

Your next stop is the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, where you’ll discover one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts. One of the museum’s most famous exhibits is the Royal Mummies Hall, where you’ll encounter the preserved remains of legendary pharaohs such as Ramses II, Hatshepsut, and many others.
