An early morning pickup from the hotel in Hurghada begins this exciting adventure, followed by an easy transfer to the airport for your flight to Cairo. Arriving at Cairo, an expert Egyptologist guide will receive and take you on an enthralling journey to Egypt's capital. We recommend lightweight, white cotton clothing to ensure maximum comfort under the scorching sun.
The day's very first visit is to the legendary plateaus of Giza where the great pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure stand tall. Between these giants, a fascinating history will open up before your eyes through the lenses of your guide. He will tell you about some most ingenious techniques used in their construction and their odyssey in ancient Egyptian civilization. Then you meet the biggest Sphinx of Egypt – the Great One, with his lion body and pharaoh's head – believed to have secured the pyramids for around four thousand years. After visiting the Valley Temple, you will further learn about the funeral rites and mummification practices in the Old Kingdom's history.
After an educational morning, take a breather for some refreshing drinks at a local café, before heading off in the afternoon to The Egyptian Museum, located in Tahrir Square. The incredible museum has an extraordinary amount of more than 130,000 artifacts in its galleries, including the treasures of King Tutankhamun, and the pieces the museum showcases date back thousands of years. Walk through the hallways of the museum, and let mummies, statues, and royal artifacts show you what a wonderful past Egypt had.
To Cairo Airport, as soon as it is dark, you will be transferred to your evening flight to Luxor. Our representative will meet you upon arrival and transport you to your hotel for check-in, enabling you to unwind in preparation for yet another exciting day ahead.
