Day 1

Upon arrival in Cairo, visit the Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square and discover one of the most comprehensive collections of ancient Egyptian relics in the world. Explore treasures that tell the story of a highly developed culture.

Travel to Giza to see the Great Pyramids and Great Sphinx in the Giza Plateau. Admire the final remaining 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, built more than 4,500 years ago as everlasting graves for the pharaohs. Marvel at the mysterious Sphinx, a statue of a pharaoh’s head with a lion’s body.

Sit back and relax on the journey back to your hotel in the evening in Cairo.

Second day Embark on a full-day tour to Memphis and Sakkara from Cairo. Learn about the treasures of the ancient world with your guide and enjoy a delicious lunch.

Admire the impressive statue and get your photo taken beside it.

You will then visit Sakkara, a 27 km journey away from Cairo. The highlight of this section is the Step Pyramid. Built for King Zoser, it is considered an important part of the process of pyramid evolution.

Finally, you'll head over to Memphis. Not the home of Elvis, of course, but the ancient capital of Egypt!
Transfer back to Hurghada in a private transfer to your accommodation in Hurghada.
