Private Day trip to Cairo from El Gouna By Flight
Private Transfer from Hotel to Hurghada Airport
Your adventure begins with a private transfer from your hotel in El Gouna to Hurghada Airport, a short yet scenic drive of approximately 30 minutes. Once at the airport, you will board a flight to Cairo to start your incredible day tour. Upon your arrival at Cairo International Airport, your dedicated tour guide will be waiting for you at the arrival gate, ready to lead you through the city’s most significant historical sites.
Explore the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx
The first stop on your Cairo exploration is the iconic Giza Pyramids complex. As one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Great Pyramid of Cheops will leave you in awe. Alongside it, you will also visit the Pyramid of Chephren and the Pyramid of Mykerinus, each an architectural marvel built over 4,000 years ago. Your Egyptologist guide will share fascinating insights into the pyramids’ construction, purpose, and the rich history of the Pharaohs who were buried within them.
You’ll also have the opportunity to admire the Great Sphinx, an impressive limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a Pharaoh. This symbol of Egypt’s ancient power and mystery will make for unforgettable photo opportunities. Additionally, a visit to the Valley Temple of Chephren will reveal the secrets of mummification and the ancient rituals associated with preparing the Pharaohs for the afterlife.
Visit the Papyrus Institute
Next, enjoy a visit to the Papyrus Institute, where you’ll witness the fascinating process of creating papyrus paper—the world’s first writing material used by the ancient Egyptians. You’ll learn about the historical significance of papyrus in Egyptian culture and have the chance to purchase authentic papyrus art and souvenirs to take home with you.
Lunch with a View of the Pyramids
After a morning of exploration, it’s time to indulge in a delicious Egyptian lunch. Enjoy a traditional meal at a local restaurant in Giza, offering stunning views of the pyramids. Feast on a variety of flavorful Egyptian dishes such as koshari, falafel, grilled meats, and fresh bread. This is the perfect time to relax and enjoy the picturesque landscape surrounding the pyramids while savoring authentic Egyptian cuisine.
Visit the Egyptian Museum
Following lunch, your tour continues with a visit to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, one of the most important museums in the world. Home to over 250,000 artifacts, the museum houses treasures from Egypt’s rich history, including the famous Tutankhamun collection. The museum’s collection spans over 5,000 years of Egyptian art, with priceless artifacts such as the golden mask of Tutankhamun and exquisite jewelry from the tomb of the young Pharaoh.
Explore the Khan El Khalili Bazaar
No visit to Cairo is complete without a stop at the world-renowned Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest and most vibrant markets in the Middle East. Wander through the maze of narrow alleys, where you’ll find an array of unique Egyptian handicrafts, including handmade jewelry, traditional clothing, perfumes, scarabs, and spices. This is your chance to practice your bargaining skills and purchase souvenirs to remember your visit to Cairo.
Return to your Hotel
After an enriching and action-packed day of exploration, you’ll be transferred back to Cairo International Airport for your return flight to Hurghada. Once you arrive in Hurghada, your private driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel in El Gouna, where you can reflect on the unforgettable experiences and memories made throughout the day.
Optional Visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum
For those looking to dive deeper into Egypt’s ancient treasures, consider a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). Although currently in its trial phase, the GEM offers a preview of the vast collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts, including pieces from the tomb of Tutankhamun and other ancient relics. The museum is expected to be one of the largest and most comprehensive Egyptian museums in the world (additional cost applies).
