Private Day trip to Cairo from Makadi Bay By Flight
Private Transfer from Hotel to Hurghada Airport
Your adventure begins with a private transfer from your hotel in Makadi Bay to Hurghada Airport. The short drive allows you to board your flight to Cairo, where your exciting journey will unfold.
Upon arrival at Cairo International Airport, a professional tour guide will be waiting to greet you and guide you through your incredible day of sightseeing.
Explore the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx
Your first stop will be the world-renowned Giza Pyramids, one of the most famous and awe-inspiring sights in Egypt.
These massive structures were built as tombs for the Pharaohs more than 4,500 years ago, showcasing the ingenuity and architectural brilliance of ancient Egyptians. Your guide will take you on an in-depth exploration of the Great Pyramid of Cheops, Pyramid of Chephren, and Pyramid of Mykerinus. Standing tall and proud, these pyramids are a testament to Egypt’s glorious past.
The Great Sphinx—a limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a Pharaoh—is another highlight.
It is thought to have been built during the reign of Pharaoh Chephren and has mystified visitors for centuries. You will also visit the Valley Temple associated with the Pyramid of Chephren, which was once used in the Pharaoh’s embalming rituals.
Visit the Papyrus Institute
Next, you’ll visit the Papyrus Institute, where you can discover how the ancient Egyptians created the world’s first paper from the papyrus plant.
The papyrus sheets were used to write important texts, many of which have survived through the ages. You can also purchase high-quality papyrus artwork here, perfect for souvenirs or gifts.
Lunch with a View of the Pyramids
After your morning tour, you will enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Giza, where you can relax and savor traditional Egyptian cuisine while gazing at the pyramids in the distance.
A perfect opportunity to reflect on the wonders you’ve just experienced, all while enjoying delicious dishes such as koshari, grilled meats, and baklava for dessert.
Visit the Egyptian Museum
Following lunch, you’ll head to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, where one of the largest collections of Pharaonic artifacts is on display.
The museum houses over 250,000 pieces of ancient Egyptian art, including the treasures of Tutankhamun, which were discovered in his tomb in 1922. These treasures include his golden death mask, precious jewelry, and other artifacts that have fascinated the world for decades.
Your Egyptologist guide will lead you through the museum’s extensive galleries, sharing fascinating details about Egypt’s history. If you wish to go beyond the main exhibits, you can visit the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization or The Grand Egyptian Museum (with an additional cost) to see the royal mummies of Egypt’s most famous rulers.
Return to your Hotel
After a full day of exploration, you will head back to Cairo Airport for your return flight to Hurghada.
Upon your arrival at Hurghada Airport, your driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel in Makadi Bay, where you can relax and unwind after an extraordinary day of discovering Egypt’s most iconic landmarks.
Optional Visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum
For those looking to explore even more of Egypt’s rich history, you can opt to visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), which is in its soft opening phase.
While some areas are still closed, the museum offers a glimpse into its vast collection of ancient artifacts, including treasures from the Tutankhamun exhibition.
This modern museum, located near the Giza Pyramids, provides an incredible overview of Egypt’s ancient civilization (an additional cost applies).
