All about the trip

Early in the morning our representative will pick you up from your hotel in Hurghada or El Gouna and transfer you to Cairo by private car. Start your journey of discovery at the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus. Then proceed to visit the Great Sphinx, a gigantic statue with the head of a pharaoh with a lion’s body, which dates from the time of Chephren. The tour also includes a visit to the Valley Temple, which belongs to the Pyramids of Chephren.

Lunch will be served at a good quality local restaurant in Cairo. We will then take you to the Egyptian Museum which features artifacts from the Pharaonic period. The museum displays a rare collection of 5 000 years of art which is considered the largest most precious collection of Egyptian art in the world. Over 250 000 genuine artifacts are presented, including an exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamun's collection of treasure, gold, and jewelry which was enclosed in his tomb for over 3 500 years before it was discovered in 1920 when his tomb was excavated.

Continue to Coptic Cairo for a background about the Christian and Jewish heritage through the Hanging Church and Ben Ezra Synagogue. Finally, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Hurghada.
