2-Day Trip from Hurghada to Cairo by Bus
Take a two-day vacation from Hurghada to see the main attractions in Cairo. Explore Cairo's main sights, including the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and much more... With your trip and lodging covered, you may travel without any hassles.
Cairo arose atop the ruins of ancient towns at the head of the Delta. Memphis was established on the west bank of the Nile during the ancient Egyptian dynasties, while Babylon was established on the east bank during the Greco-Roman period... Egypt's relations with the Mediterranean and Red Sea basins expanded throughout this period. Cairo is quite different from Hurghada, so explore farther and get to know the city.
Learn about Cairo during the reign of Saladin. In 567 AH/1171 AD, the second phase of Cairo's life began, when it became a city for everyone. For the Sultan, his troops, and his entourage, it had been a little town. It had expanded considerably by the early 13th century in comparison to the Fatimid period. In order to protect it from the Crusaders, it had a fortress above it and a large stone wall that connected it to its port on the Nile.
Cairo shopping excursions (upon request)
You can go from Hurghada to Cairo and explore its attractions by taking an air-conditioned bus that will pick you up in the morning. The Pyramids of Giza are where we start our journey... Consider what the region around the huge and towering Pyramids might have looked like 5,000 years ago. It captures the beauty and brilliance of ancient Egyptian artisans as well as how important attention to creative detail was to the ancient Egyptians.
From the Nile Valley to the vicinity of the Pyramids. On the banks of the Nile, close to the Pyramids, the ancient Egyptians constructed the Valley Temple, which is reached via a path known as the "Procession Road..." In the Valley Temple, the Pharaoh's body was mummified and his mummy was prepared following his death... Then it was taken in a great procession to the Mortuary Temple, a temple just close to the pyramid. Following the completion of religious rites, the corpse was carried into the coffin room and put within the coffin. See for yourself the Valley Temple.
After seeing the scary Sphinx and the three pyramids, take a moment to relax, eat lunch, and then proceed to the Egyptian Museum.
The diorite statue of Khafre, regarded as one of the most exquisite examples of ancient Egyptian sculpture, is one of the museum's many intriguing and varied exhibits.... It captures not just the grandeur of Old Kingdom art but also the king's authority and the intimate bond between him and the gods. Situated in Room 42 on the Main and distinguished floor of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the statue was discovered in the Valley Temple of King Khafre in Giza and is currently one of the museum's most notable displays.
After enjoying the most important pieces in the museum, it is now time to relax in your hotel.
We will begin our journey to the Saladin Citadel after breakfast at the hotel. A crucial component of the citadel's defensive system during military operations, the defense towers are encircled by an impressive and sturdy three-tiered wall...
See the castle up close and learn about it. There are two separate portions to the citadel. The first has walls on the east and north sides and is rectangular in shape. It is situated on the northern side. Because of its square and round towers, it served as a military stronghold throughout the reigns of Saladin and his brother, King Al-Adil.
We visit a few churches in Coptic Cairo after touring a portion of Islamic Cairo. Because it was a significant destination on the Holy Family's trip to Egypt, the historic Church of Abu Serga holds great significance in ancient Egypt. Another name for it is the Cave Church. It is the earliest church in ancient Egypt and maybe all of Cairo, according to historians. The Holy Family traveled by the location where it was constructed. The grotto where the Holy Family rested during their journey to Egypt is situated nearby. Below the main altar, which bears the names of Bacchus and Sergius, lies the cave. It is around 2.5 meters in height, 5 meters in width, and 6 meters in length...
With dimensions of around 23.5 square meters, 18.5 meters wide, and 9.5 meters high, the church is shaped like a rectangle. The church has eight columns on each side and is composed of a main nave and two smaller wings. Three columns with massive pointed arches form a row between the northern wing and the nave. On the eastern side of the church are three sanctuaries: the middle one bears the name of the Virgin Mary, the right one bears the name of Saint John the Baptist, and Saint Mary George's name appears on the left one.
Enjoy a trip to Khan El Khalili. After that, you will be transferred by bus back to Hurghada...End of the trip
