Your adventure begins with a private pick-up from your hotel in Marsa Alam at 3:00 AM. Enjoy a comfortable and air-conditioned ride across the stunning desert landscapes on the way to Cairo, which is approximately 700 kilometers away. During the journey, relax and prepare for a thrilling exploration of Egypt’s most famous monuments.

The first stop on your tour is the legendary Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Here, you’ll explore the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the largest and oldest of the three pyramids, along with the Pyramid of Chephren and the Pyramid of Mykerinus. Your private Egyptologist guide will provide in-depth explanations about the architectural techniques, the religious significance, and the construction methods behind these massive tombs.

Next, head to the Great Sphinx of Giza, one of Egypt’s most iconic landmarks. This enormous statue, with the body of a lion and the head of Pharaoh Chephren, has stood as a protector of the pyramids for thousands of years. Learn about the mysteries surrounding the Sphinx’s origins and its symbolism in ancient Egyptian culture.

Following your visit to the pyramids and the Sphinx, visit the Valley Temple of Chephren, a site where the ancient Egyptians performed mummification rituals. The temple offers incredible insight into the ancient Egyptian religious practices and their beliefs about the afterlife.

After a day full of awe-inspiring ancient wonders, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Giza. You’ll have panoramic views of the pyramids as you dine on traditional Egyptian dishes such as koshari, stuffed grape leaves, and molokhia.

In the afternoon, head to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, which houses over 250,000 artifacts from ancient Egypt. A highlight of the museum is the Tutankhamun collection, which includes the famous golden death mask and other royal treasures that were buried for over 3,500 years. Take time to explore the museum’s other exhibits featuring statues, mummies, and ancient manuscripts from the time of the Pharaohs.

For an additional fee, you can choose to visit the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, which houses the Royal Mummies Hall. Here, you’ll see mummies of famous Pharaohs such as Ramses II and Seti I, offering an even deeper understanding of Egypt’s mummification techniques and royal history.

After a day filled with history and discovery, your driver will take you to your hotel in Cairo where you can relax and reflect on the day’s incredible sights.
