Private Day trip to Cairo from El Quseir By Flight
Private Transfer from Hotel to Hurghada Airport
Your adventure begins with a private transfer from your hotel in El Quseir to Hurghada International Airport. The drive takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, where you can relax and prepare for your flight to Cairo. Once you arrive at Cairo International Airport, your personal guide will be waiting to greet you at the arrival gate, ensuring a smooth start to your exploration of Egypt’s iconic landmarks.
Explore the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx
The first stop on your Cairo day trip is the Giza Pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. These colossal structures were built over 4,500 years ago and have stood the test of time as symbols of Egypt’s ancient power and glory. Your private Egyptologist guide will provide insightful commentary as you visit the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Pyramid of Chephren, and the Pyramid of Mykerinus. Learn about the construction techniques and the significance of these grand tombs for the Pharaohs.
Also, be sure to marvel at the Great Sphinx, a massive limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a Pharaoh. This mythical figure stands as a symbol of ancient Egypt’s strength and mystery. Additionally, visit the Valley Temple of Chephren, where mummification rituals were once performed for the Pharaohs.
Visit the Papyrus Institute
After visiting the pyramids, head to the Papyrus Institute, where you’ll learn about the ancient Egyptians’ innovation in creating papyrus paper. This material was used to document Egypt’s history, and you can even purchase authentic papyrus artworks as a unique souvenir from your trip. The institute offers an interactive experience, where you’ll get to watch how papyrus was traditionally made and turned into beautiful pieces of art.
Lunch with a View of the Pyramids
After a fascinating morning of exploration, enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant with stunning views of the Giza Pyramids. Here, you’ll get a chance to sample traditional Egyptian cuisine, such as koshari, grilled meats, stuffed grape leaves, and freshly baked pita bread. Relax and enjoy your meal with the iconic pyramids as your backdrop.
Visit the Egyptian Museum
Next, head to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, home to the world’s largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities. The museum houses over 250,000 artifacts from ancient Egypt, with highlights including the Treasure of Tutankhamun, featuring the famous golden mask and intricate jewelry that was found in the tomb of the young king.
The museum also showcases many other treasures from Egypt’s long history, including statues, mummies, and everyday objects used by ancient Egyptians. You’ll also have the option to visit the Royal Mummies Hall (additional cost) to see the preserved remains of famous Pharaohs, including Ramses II and Seti I, which provides an even deeper connection to Egypt’s ancient rulers.
Explore the Khan El Khalili Bazaar
No trip to Cairo would be complete without visiting the legendary Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest markets in the Arab world. The bazaar is filled with vibrant shops selling handmade jewelry, spices, perfumes, souvenirs, and traditional Egyptian crafts. Take your time to explore the narrow alleyways, practice your bargaining skills, and find unique treasures to bring home.
Return to your Hotel
After a full day of exploration, you’ll head back to Cairo Airport for your return flight to Hurghada. Upon arrival at Hurghada International Airport, your private driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel in El Quseir, concluding your unforgettable day trip to Cairo.
Optional Visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum
For those who want to see even more of Egypt’s incredible history, an optional visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) can be added to your tour. Currently in its trial phase, the GEM showcases some of the most incredible artifacts, including pieces from King Tutankhamun’s tomb.
