Tour Description

Itinerary

Day 1: Hurghada / Cairo / Great Pyramids – Egyptian Museum

Your Representative will pick you up early morning from your centrally located Hurghada hotel for the short drive to Hurghada International Airport. After your flight, your guide will be at Cairo International Airport to meet you and begin your private tour of the city. You will journey first to Giza, a desert plateau on the fringes of the city that’s home to the Sphinx and the three Giza Pyramids: Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. View the Sphinx, a mysterious human-headed lion statue that guards the pyramids, as your guide explains why it was built and the secrets behind its strange form. Then, walk up to the pyramids to be amazed at these three huge pharaonic tombs. Soak up the knowledge of how they were built around 2550 BC to provide the deceased with safe passage to the afterlife. Gaze in awe at the 481-foot (147-meter) tall Cheops, view Chephren and Mykerinos. Afterwards, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant and then visit Cairo's spectacular Egyptian Museum, which hosts more than 250,000 ancient artifacts. The museum tells the story of ancient Egypt with incredible collections of art, statues, and funerary artifacts. Explore with your guide and be amazed at the treasures of Tutankhamun’s tomb, including his gold death mask and chariot. After this, take your private A/C vehicle for your transfer back to your hotel in Cairo.
