Private Transfer from Hotel to Hurghada Airport
Your trip begins with a private transfer from your hotel in Soma Bay to Hurghada International Airport. From there, you’ll take your flight to Cairo. Upon arrival at Cairo International Airport, your private Egyptologist guide will meet you and accompany you to the sightseeing sites included in your itinerary.
Explore the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx
Your first stop is the Giza Pyramids, built more than 4,500 years ago as tombs for ancient Egyptian kings. Visit the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. Your private Egyptologist guide will explain their history, construction, and significance in ancient Egypt.
You’ll then see the Great Sphinx, a limestone statue with the body of a lion and a human head, traditionally associated with King Khafre. Your guide will also explain the history of the surrounding area, including the Valley Temple of Khafre, which formed part of the king’s funerary complex and was associated with ancient Egyptian burial rituals.
Lunch
After visiting the pyramids, you’ll have lunch at a local restaurant serving Egyptian food. Depending on the restaurant, you may also enjoy views of the Giza Pyramids while trying traditional dishes such as koshari, stuffed grape leaves, and grilled meats.
Visit the Grand Egyptian Museum
Next, visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) with your private Egyptologist guide. Explore its galleries and discover archaeological artifacts that tell the story of ancient Egyptian civilization.
The museum also houses the treasures of Tutankhamun, including jewelry, coffins, chariots, and personal belongings associated with the young king. Your guide will explain the significance of these objects and their connection to the lives and beliefs of the ancient Egyptian kings.
If you would like to see the royal mummies, you can arrange an optional visit to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization for an additional cost. This visit depends on the available time and your return flight schedule.
Optional Explore the Khan El Khalili Bazaar
If time permits, you can add an optional visit to Khan El Khalili Bazaar in Cairo for an additional cost. Walk through its narrow alleyways and browse shops selling traditional Egyptian crafts, handmade jewelry, spices, perfumes, textiles, and souvenirs.
You can explore the market at your own pace, look for gifts to take home, and experience one of Cairo’s best-known traditional shopping areas. The visit depends on the available time and your return flight schedule.
Return to your Hotel
At the end of your visit, you’ll transfer to Cairo International Airport for your return flight to Hurghada. Upon arrival at Hurghada International Airport, your private driver will meet you and transfer you back to your hotel in Soma Bay.
