Tour Itinerary

Day by day — every transfer, meal and guided visit planned for you.

DAY01Day 1: Giza Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum Exploration

Start your adventure early with a morning pick-up from your Hurghada hotel. Enjoy a comfortable drive to Cairo, where your exploration begins.

Upon arrival, your guide will take you to the legendary Giza Plateau. Marvel at the awe-inspiring Great Pyramid of Khufu, followed by the smaller pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. Don’t miss the majestic Great Sphinx, a mythical limestone creature that blends the body of a lion with the face of a pharaoh. Explore the Valley Temple, once used for embalming rituals, while taking in the sweeping desert views.

After this unforgettable experience, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant.

In the afternoon, head to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), a cutting-edge cultural complex housing some of Egypt’s greatest treasures. Wander through galleries showcasing royal artifacts, statues, golden treasures, and everyday items from Egypt’s rich history. The modern design of the museum offers a fascinating journey through the ages of Egyptian civilization.

After the museum visit, check into your hotel in Cairo for an overnight stay.

DAY02Day 2: Cairo – Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur Excursion

After breakfast at your Cairo hotel, meet your Egyptologist guide for a fascinating exploration into Egypt’s early pyramid-building era.

Start at Saqqara, the burial ground of ancient Memphis, where you’ll see the revolutionary Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the first large-scale stone structure in history. Designed by the genius architect Imhotep, this pyramid marked a turning point in ancient Egyptian architecture.

Next, visit Memphis, Egypt’s first capital under King Narmer. Although much of the city is in ruins, the open-air museum still houses striking relics, including the enormous fallen statue of Ramses II and the stunning alabaster sphinx.

End your day in Dahshur, a quieter but equally captivating site. Here, you’ll see the Bent Pyramid, famous for its unusual angles, and the Red Pyramid, Egypt’s first successful smooth-sided pyramid.

After a day filled with history and wonder, relax with a drive back to Hurghada, where you will arrive in the evening.
