Private Day trip to Cairo from Soma Bay By Flight
Private Transfer from Hotel to Hurghada Airport
Your adventure begins with a private transfer from your hotel in Soma Bay to Hurghada Airport. After a short drive, you will board your flight to Cairo to begin your exploration of Egypt’s timeless treasures. Upon arriving at Cairo International Airport, your professional guide will be there to greet you and accompany you throughout this exciting day.
Explore the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx
Your first stop will be the legendary Giza Pyramids, one of the most recognizable landmarks on earth. These colossal structures were built more than 4,500 years ago to serve as tombs for the great Pharaohs.
Your guide will take you through the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Pyramid of Chephren, and the Pyramid of Mykerinus.
The Great Pyramid of Cheops, the largest and oldest of the three, is truly a marvel of ancient engineering and is a testament to the power and ingenuity of the ancient Egyptians.
The Great Sphinx, with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, stands proudly in front of the pyramids, watching over the tombs.
This iconic monument, which dates back to the reign of Pharaoh Chephren, has long fascinated visitors with its mystery and grandeur.
Your guide will share fascinating stories about the Sphinx and the surrounding area, including the Valley Temple of Chephren, a structure that served as part of the embalming process for the Pharaohs.
Visit the Papyrus Institute
Next, you will visit the Papyrus Institute, where you can learn about one of ancient Egypt’s most significant inventions—the papyrus plant.
See how this plant was transformed into paper, the medium on which many of the world’s most important ancient texts were written.
You’ll also have the opportunity to purchase high-quality papyrus art directly from local artisans, perfect for those looking to bring a piece of Egypt home.
Lunch with a View of the Pyramids
After your morning of exploration, it’s time to enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Giza, offering breathtaking views of the pyramids.
Relax and savor traditional Egyptian cuisine, such as grilled meats, koshari, and stuffed grape leaves, all while admiring the ancient wonders of Egypt just a short distance away.
Visit the Egyptian Museum
Following lunch, your tour continues to the world-famous Egyptian Museum, located in Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo. The museum houses the world’s largest collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities, including more than 250,000 artifacts. Here, you will witness the extraordinary treasures of Tutankhamun, including his golden death mask, jewelry, and other priceless relics. These items were found in his tomb, which was uncovered in 1922, and they offer a glimpse into the opulence and mystery of ancient Egypt.
Your guide will lead you through the museum’s extensive galleries, explaining the significance of each artifact.
You’ll see mummies, statues, jewelry, and sacred objects that span over 5,000 years of Egyptian civilization.
If you’re interested in seeing the royal mummies, you can opt to visit the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (with an additional cost), where the mummies of Egypt’s greatest rulers are on display.
Explore the Khan El Khalili Bazaar
After visiting the museum, your tour will take you to Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest and most famous markets in the Middle East.
The bazaar is a labyrinth of narrow streets lined with vibrant stalls offering a variety of traditional Egyptian crafts, jewelry, spices, perfumes, and textiles.
Take the time to wander through the market, soak in the local culture, and perhaps find some unique souvenirs to take home.
Don’t forget to practice your bargaining skills, as it’s all part of the experience.
Return to your Hotel
After a full day of exploring the wonders of Cairo, you will be taken back to Cairo Airport for your flight back to Hurghada.
Upon your arrival at Hurghada Airport, your driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel in Soma Bay, where you can relax after a remarkable day immersed in the history and culture of Egypt.
Optional Visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum
For those wanting an extended experience, you can visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), which is currently in its trial opening phase.
Although the Tutankhamun Galleries are not yet open, visitors can still explore many of the museum’s key sections, including the Great Hall and the Grand Staircase, which showcase artifacts from different periods of Egyptian history.
The museum is a fantastic place to learn even more about ancient Egyptian civilization and is located near the Giza Pyramids, making it a perfect addition to your day’s itinerary (additional fees apply).
