Two-Day Cairo Trip From El Quseir by Private Car
Day 1: El Quseir to Cairo – Pyramids, Sphinx, and Egyptian Museum
Your exciting adventure begins with a private pick-up from your hotel in El Quseir at 3:00 AM. Enjoy a comfortable, air-conditioned car as you journey across the desert landscape towards Cairo, approximately 530 kilometers away. Relax and enjoy the scenic drive, preparing yourself for a deep dive into Egypt’s legendary history.
The first stop is the world-renowned Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Here, you will explore the awe-inspiring Great Pyramid of Cheops, the oldest and largest of the three pyramids, along with the Pyramid of Chephren and the Pyramid of Mykerinus. Your private Egyptologist guide will provide fascinating insights into the construction techniques, religious significance, and mysteries surrounding these massive ancient tombs.
Next, visit the Great Sphinx of Giza, one of Egypt’s most famous symbols. The majestic statue, with the body of a lion and the head of Pharaoh Chephren, has guarded the pyramids for millennia. Learn about the origins, symbolism, and the myths surrounding the Sphinx.
Afterward, explore the Valley Temple of Chephren, where ancient Egyptians performed mummification rituals. This well-preserved temple offers valuable insights into ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife and the importance of mummification for the Pharaohs.
Take a break and enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Giza, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the pyramids. Savor traditional Egyptian dishes such as koshari, stuffed grape leaves, and molokhia while soaking in the breathtaking scenery.
In the afternoon, head to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, which houses over 250,000 artifacts from ancient Egypt. Among the museum’s most prized collections is the Tutankhamun collection, including the famous golden death mask and royal treasures that were buried for over 3,500 years. The museum’s other exhibits feature statues, mummies, and ancient manuscripts that shed light on the Pharaohs, their gods, and daily life in ancient Egypt.
For an additional fee, you can opt to visit the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization to explore the Royal Mummies Hall, where mummies of famous Pharaohs like Ramses II and Seti I are on display, offering further insights into Egypt’s mummification techniques.
After a full day of exploration, your private driver will take you to your hotel in Cairo for a relaxing evening, ready for your second day of sightseeing.
Day 2: Old Cairo – Citadel, Mohamed Ali Mosque, Coptic Cairo, and Khan El Khalili Bazaar
Start your second day with a hearty breakfast at your Cairo hotel before embarking on an exploration of Old Cairo, a region rich in both Islamic and Coptic heritage.
Your first stop is the Citadel of Saladin, a medieval Islamic fortress built in the 12th century. This historic site, once the political and military center of Egypt, offers incredible views of Cairo. Learn about its significance in defending Cairo from Crusader invasions and its role as a symbol of Islamic Cairo.
Next, visit the stunning Mohamed Ali Mosque, also known as the Alabaster Mosque due to its beautiful white alabaster walls. Built between 1830 and 1848, the mosque is an impressive example of Ottoman architecture and offers breathtaking views of Cairo, including distant views of the Pyramids of Giza.
Continue your journey to Coptic Cairo, the heart of Egypt’s Christian history. Visit the Hanging Church (Saint Virgin Mary’s Coptic Orthodox Church), one of Egypt’s oldest and most historically significant churches. Then, explore the Church of Abu Serga, famous for its connection to the Holy Family’s journey through Egypt, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue, believed to be the place where Moses was found.
End your day in Old Cairo with a visit to the Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of Cairo’s oldest and most famous markets. This 14th-century market is a maze of narrow streets filled with shops selling traditional Egyptian crafts, jewelry, spices, textiles, and perfumes. Take time to shop for souvenirs or simply enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of this iconic marketplace.
After your full day of exploring Cairo’s historical treasures, your private driver will take you back to El Quseir in the afternoon. Enjoy the scenic drive back, reflecting on the incredible experiences of your two-day Cairo tour. You’ll arrive at your hotel in the evening, marking the end of your unforgettable adventure.
