Full-Day Trip to Cairo from Sharm El Sheikh & Overnight in Cairo

Overview

On a wonderful tour from Sharm El Sheikh to Cairo, we will take you to visit the Pyramids of Giza, Saqqara, and Coptic Cairo. It is an exceptional adventure that takes you from the enchanting atmosphere of the Red Sea to the heart of ancient Egyptian history in one day full of discoveries.

Today we will enjoy exploring the Giza Pyramids, where the three pyramids – Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure – have stood tall for thousands of years, representing the creativity, will to live forever, and genius of the ancient Egyptians. The Pyramid of Khufu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, will be magnificently displayed there, and we shall discover the engineering marvel's building secrets. Standing next to it is the Sphinx, whose legendary presence tells stories of mystery and power.

We will then continue our adventure to the Saqqara region, where the Step Pyramid of Djoser stands, the oldest pyramid in history and the first attempt to build a royal tomb in a monumental architectural style. We will also wander among the terraces and tombs decorated with impressive inscriptions depicting the daily life of the ancient Egyptians, feeling as if we are walking through the pages of an open book that tells the story of the earliest beginnings of civilisation.

We will explore Coptic Cairo and stop by the Hanging Church, which is regarded as one of Egypt's oldest churches and was constructed atop two towers of the Roman fortress of Babylon. You will also discover the Church of Abu Serga, associated with the Holy Family's journey to Egypt, and the unique Church of St George. This tour reflects the spiritual character of Egypt and shows another side of its diverse history.

During the tour, you will stop for a traditional Egyptian meal at one of the local restaurants, where you can enjoy authentic flavours that will make the trip even more enjoyable.

Itinerary

Early in the morning, one of our representatives will pick you up from your accommodation in Sharm El Sheikh and take you to the airport for your short flight to Cairo. There, your tour guide will be waiting to take you in a private air-conditioned car on a legendary tour that combines Pharaonic and Coptic history in one day.

The first thing that catches your eye is the magnificent sight of the three pyramids of Giza, located in the middle of the Giza Plateau, as if defying time. There, we will visit the following:

The Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and most famous, stands tall as an icon of ancient Egyptian greatness and engineering creativity.

Next to it is the Pyramid of Khafre, whose summit still retains remnants of its white limestone cladding, giving it a special charm.

The tiniest pyramid, the Pyramid of Menkaure, offers a fresh perspective on the monarchs' conception of immortality.
Our adventure would not be complete without standing in front of the legendary Sphinx, this huge stone guardian that combines the strength of a lion with the wisdom of a pharaoh, watching over the place with silent eyes for thousands of years.

Next, we will transfer from Giza to Saqqara, where the story of the pyramids began. There, we will stand before the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest massive stone structure in the world and the first conception of the idea of a “pyramid.”   With its royal tombs and inscriptions that illustrate the history of the ancient Egyptians, from their festivals and beliefs to the specifics of their everyday lives, the location resembles an outdoor museum.

We'll go to Coptic Cairo, one of the world's oldest Christian sites, after exploring the depths of Pharaonic civilisation.  During this unique tour, we will visit the following:

The Hanging Church:  Built above the Babylon Fortress, it appears to be suspended between heaven and earth.

The Church of Abu Serga: associated with the passage of the Holy Family during their journey to Egypt.

The tour is completed with a visit to the uniquely designed Church of St George.
Here you will feel a special spirituality, breathing in the fragrance of the past and touching the religious and cultural diversity that has shaped Egypt's identity throughout the ages.

Overnight stay hotel in Cairo

With the rising of the sun, you will head to Cairo Airport to return to Sharm El Sheikh, carrying with you memories of a day that combined the grandeur of the Pharaohs, the beauty of Cairo and the depth of Christianity.

Nearly equal distances separate Hurghada and Cairo, home of the Giza Pyramids. However, Sharm El Skeikh is farther away from the pharaonic sites on the Nile than Hurghada. There are still excursions that last for several days, of course. This is expensive and requires a lot of driving.

Dahab has remained one of Egypt's safest tourist destinations since the 2011 uprising, thanks to a strong security presence throughout the nation, including armed security agents stationed at key locations and traffic checkpoints.
