Description

Overnight trip to the Pyramids From Soma Bay by Car
Day 1 / Journey from Soma Bay to the Pyramids of Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis

Start your exclusive 2-day private tour with a luxurious and comfortable pickup directly from your hotel in Soma Bay. As you relax in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, enjoy a scenic 5–6 hour drive through Egypt’s majestic desert landscape. On this stress-free journey, you’ll pass through the tranquil countryside and remote areas of Egypt, experiencing the vastness and beauty of the Egyptian desert.

 

Your first stop will be the iconic Pyramids of Giza, the most famous historical site in Egypt. These ancient marvels include the Great Pyramid of Khufu, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. Learn about the engineering genius and the profound cultural and spiritual significance behind these monumental structures. Stand in awe before the Great Sphinx of Giza, a mysterious and majestic monument with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, symbolizing Egypt’s rich heritage.

 

Following your exploration of the Pyramids, indulge in a traditional Egyptian lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant near the Pyramids of Giza or the Nile River. Enjoy a variety of authentic Egyptian dishes like koshari, falafel, and hummus, reflecting the depth of Egypt’s culinary heritage.

 

In the afternoon, your journey continues to Saqqara, home to the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest pyramid in Egypt. This architectural wonder was designed by the legendary architect Imhotep and is considered the first pyramid ever built in Egypt. Explore the surrounding tombs and mastabas (ancient tomb structures) and uncover the secrets of Egypt’s early pyramid construction techniques.

 

From Saqqara, head to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where you’ll find the impressive open-air museum. Admire the colossal statue of Ramses II, one of the largest and most detailed statues ever discovered, along with the majestic Alabaster Sphinx, both of which reflect the grandeur of Egypt’s Old Kingdom.

 

After a day filled with history and exploration, check in to your comfortable 4-star hotel in Cairo. Unwind and relax after an unforgettable first day of exploring Egypt’s most iconic landmarks.

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

Start your day with a hearty breakfast at your hotel, preparing you for another day of exploring the wonders of Cairo.

 

Your first stop will be the Citadel of Saladin, a stunning medieval Islamic fortress offering breathtaking panoramic views of Cairo’s skyline and the Nile River. As you explore the Citadel, you’ll visit the Mohamed Ali Mosque, also known as the Alabaster Mosque because of its gleaming alabaster-covered walls. This stunning example of Ottoman architecture is an essential symbol of Cairo’s Islamic heritage and an architectural masterpiece that showcases the elegance of Cairo’s medieval Islamic period.

 

Next, delve into the wonders of the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, a modern museum dedicated to preserving Egypt’s rich history and cultural heritage. Among its impressive exhibits, the Royal Mummies Hall stands out, where you can view the preserved remains of legendary pharaohs such as Ramses II, Hatshepsut, and other rulers of Ancient Egypt. The museum offers a unique opportunity to gain insight into the evolution of Egyptian civilization over thousands of years, from the Prehistoric period to the Pharaonic era and beyond.

 

Take a break for another delicious Egyptian meal at a local restaurant, where you can taste traditional dishes such as molokhia, shish tawook, and grilled kebabs—a great way to sample the flavorful diversity of Egyptian cuisine.

 

If time allows, immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Khan El Khalili Bazaar, Cairo’s most famous market. This bustling shopping district is packed with colorful stalls selling handmade crafts, jewelry, spices, souvenirs, and other traditional Egyptian goods. Wander through the narrow alleys, enjoy the local culture, and find the perfect keepsake to remember your journey through Egypt.

 

Finally, after an incredible day of exploring Cairo’s top attractions, board your comfortable vehicle for the scenic drive back to Soma Bay. Arriving in the evening, you will carry with you unforgettable memories of Egypt’s ancient and modern wonders, from the grandeur of the Pyramids to the elegance of Cairo’s Islamic architecture.
