Best Day Trip to Cairo from Sharm El Sheikh
Overview
A trip to the Pyramids of Giza and Dahshur from Sharm El Sheikh is one of the most amazing historical tours that gives us an exceptional opportunity to discover the greatest architectural masterpieces left by the pharaohs, as you travel from the city of the sea and resorts to the heart of ancient Egyptian civilization on a day full of adventure and excitement.
Today, we will get the chance to tour the three famous pyramids of Giza: the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, which still retains part of its white limestone casing at its summit, and then the smaller but no less impressive Pyramid of Menkaure. You will stand in awe of the grandeur of the construction and the precision of the huge stones that have defied time, and you will visit the legendary Sphinx.
After lunch at one of the local restaurants, we will move to the quiet area of Dahshur, where three of the most important pyramids that paved the way for the construction of the Giza pyramids await you:
The Bent Pyramid: A unique architectural masterpiece built during the reign of King Sneferu, it is distinguished by its different angles, making it one of the most distinctive pyramids in Egypt.
The Red Pyramid: The first complete pyramid in history, it was designed with remarkable precision to be a prototype for the Great Pyramid of Khufu.
The Black Pyramid: Dating back to King Amenemhat III of the Middle Kingdom, it differs from the pyramids of Sneferu in its mud brick construction and stone facades, making it unique in its design and status.
In the end, our adventure will conclude with a tour filled with unforgettable experiences that combine the splendor of the sea with the charm of history.

Itinerary
From your accommodation anywhere in Sharm el-Sheikh, we will take you in a modern, private car to Sharm el-Sheikh Airport to catch your flight to Cairo, the land of the pharaohs. There, our Egyptologist guide will be waiting for you and will accompany you on your adventure to explore the following:
The Giza Plateau: The first thing that catches our eye is the majestic Pyramid of Khufu, the largest structure built by humans in ancient times. Its towering height makes us feel insignificant in comparison to the genius of the pharaohs who raised these giant stones with incredible precision. Nearby stands the Pyramid of Khafre, parts of which are still covered with white limestone, suggesting the greatness of its owner. Then comes the Pyramid of Menkaure, smaller in size but unique in its statues and inscriptions found inside. Among these landmarks, you will find the legendary Sphinx, gazing at you with a mysterious look that holds the secrets of thousands of years, as if it were still guarding the pyramids of its royal masters.
We will then continue our tour to Dahshur, located in the middle of the desert, in a place that reflects the tranquility of history and the depth of beginnings. Here we will see King Sneferu's bold attempts to achieve the ideal shape of the pyramid. In Dahshur, we will be able to explore the following pyramids:
The Bent Pyramid: Its unusual design with two different angles makes it unique among all the pyramids. It is as if you are standing in front of a living engineering experiment that tells you about the journey of the search for perfection.
The beutiful Red Pyramid: The first pyramid built in Egyptian history, and the only one of three pyramids at Dashur that remain standing, its red stones gleaming in the sun. Going though the underground passages is a very valuable experience in exciting feeling, because I felt like I was entering the secrets of time.
The Black Pyramid: Totally unlike any of the others, the Black Pyramid was built by King Amenemhat III in mud brick with a stone facing. At the heart of the desert can be found today as a silent spectre telling the story of development of Middle Kingdom architecture, its ruins are cloaked in mystery.
After enjoying a day full of adventures, we will take you back to your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh.
