Itinerary
Explore the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx, Enjoy Local Egyptian Lunch & Visit Egyptian Museum
From Hurghada to Cairo's Iconic Wonders
Your extraordinary journey begins with an early morning pickup from your Hurghada hotel lobby. Settle into your comfortable, private, air-conditioned vehicle as you embark on the scenic drive to Cairo.
Midway, you'll enjoy a refreshing stop at the Zafarana Rest Station. This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy your boxed breakfast from the hotel, grab a morning coffee, or use the facilities, preparing you for the rest of your trip.
Arrive at the Giza Pyramids Plateau
Upon reaching Cairo, prepare for an exclusive and awe-inspiring experience as you encounter the majesty of the Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu). Take outstanding photos and begin to uncover its profound mysteries—the reality of who built it, how it was constructed, and the intriguing theories about its hidden energy. Should you wish to venture inside this pyramid, please inform your Egyptologist at the ticket office to arrange an extra ticket.
Beside the Pyramid of Khufu, you'll discover the Satellite Pyramids (Queens Pyramids). You can even enter the Pyramid of Khufu's mother on your basic ticket (no extra fees), provided it's not a Friday. Listen as your guide shares fascinating facts behind these three structures.
Continue to the Pyramid of Chephren, which remarkably retains some of its original cladding, offering a glimpse into how the pyramids appeared upon their completion. Before reaching the Pyramid of Khafre, explore the Mortuary Temple for the purification process of kings' mummies with seven holy oils, walk the historic Causeway, and visit the Valley Temple where kings were mummified. You'll also pass through the Giza Builders Tombs, uncovering their secrets.
Marvel at the Menkaure Pyramid, then ascend to the Panorama for a truly outstanding view encompassing the entire plateau with all six pyramids and the magnificent Great Statue of Sphinx. Finally, come face-to-face with the Great Statue of the Sphinx itself, discovering the myths and ancient secrets surrounding this legendary Pharaonic guard. Allow three dedicated hours for this visit, ensuring ample time to absorb each attraction and capture non-repeatable, memorable photos.
Enjoy Lunchtime
Savor a local, rich-flavored dish of high quality, providing you with a unique experience of Egyptian food culture. This delightful lunch extends for approximately one hour. Afterwards, a comfortable 30-minute drive will take you to Tahrir Square, home to the Egyptian Museum.
Egyptian Museum Visit
Step into the renowned Egyptian Museum for an immersive two-hour visit. Begin on the ground floor, primarily dedicated to statues, large artifacts, sarcophagi, and architectural elements, all arranged chronologically from the Predynastic, Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and New Kingdom to the Greco-Roman period. Ascend to the first floor, which features smaller artifacts, dazzling royal treasures, exquisite jewelry, and items recovered from ancient tombs. Here, you'll encounter more than 120,000 rare artifacts from the heart of ancient Egypt, offering an unparalleled glimpse into its rich history.
After your enriching day, you'll arrive at your hotel in Cairo for check-in. The remainder of the day is at your leisure, ensuring a cozy overnight stay.
Meals: Lunch
Marvel at Abu Serga Church, Ben Ezra Synagogue, Cairo Citadel/Saladin Citadel & Alabaster Mosque with a tasty Lunch meal
Old Cairo's Sacred Sites, Citadel & Return to Hurghada
Begin your day by relishing a delightful breakfast meal at your hotel. Afterwards, meet your Egyptologist in the hotel lobby, ready to embark on your day tour to Old Cairo.
Explore Abu Serga Church.
Wander amidst the ancient Abu Serga Church, a basilica-style sanctuary dating back to the 4th–5th century AD. Marvel at its unique wooden ceiling, modeled after Noah's Ark, and admire the ancient icons adorning its walls. Descend into the Holy Crypt beneath the church, a revered site where the Holy Family is believed to have sought refuge near its ancient well.
Explore Ben Ezra Synagogue
A short walk brings you to the historic Ben Ezra Synagogue. Discover its high wooden ceilings adorned with elegant and detailed craftsmanship, intricate arabesque carvings, graceful marble column arches, and vibrant stained-glass windows. This significant Jewish Synagogue is said to contain an old copy of the Bible and the very box in which Moses' mother placed him, alongside other rare Jewish resources.
Visit the Citadel of Saladin & Mohamed Ali Mosque
Embark on a captivating journey through the Citadel of Saladin, one of the strongest fortresses from the Middle Ages. Within its impressive walls, encounter the magnificent Mosque of Mohamed Ali, renowned for its dazzling alabaster walls, grand chandeliers, intricate Islamic motifs, and majestic dome. Explore the equally amazing green dome of the Al-Nasir Muhammad Mosque with its ornate decorations. Ascend to the Panorama, the highest point within the Citadel, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the entire city of Cairo, including the distant Giza Pyramids. Allow ample time to explore this historical fortress.
Lunchtime
Another wonderful opportunity awaits to relish a tasty Egyptian lunch, savoring the rich flavors of local cuisine.
Return to Hurghada After a day filled with historical discoveries, take your comfortable seat in the private air-conditioned vehicle for your return journey to Hurghada. You'll arrive back at your hotel in Hurghada in the evening, concluding your enriching Cairo adventure.

Very kind and profesional people.
In every trip that I went with them, all details were taking care of.
Ashraf is the most knowledgeable tour guide that I ever met in my life.
You will go on a trip and come back as friends.
I highly recommend golavita Tours!
We had booked airport transfers from Hurgada airport to our resort in May 2022 and our experience was excellent. What sets this company apart was the responsive service we got through WhatsApp messaging. You may not be aware of this but meeting a taxi driver at airport is not so easy or obvious as the security personnel does not allow drivers in or even standing by the entrance. It all was resolved easily by WhatsApp communication. I cannot overstate how important is having a rapid response when something does not go as you would expect. Thank you Ashraf.
I am aware this company does much more than airport transfers: while I did not use any during my stay, I wouldnot hesitate to recommend this organisation to plan for your excursion needsin Hurghada.
Update April 2023: Used them again for this trip booking through Hoppa, same excellent service.
We went in the Safari and Paradise Island boat trip. Both were very well organised, great activities and the transfer made by driver was on time!
I recommend especially the Paradise Island trip! The views on the island are amazing and the boat trip until there has such grest service on the boat (snorkeling, lunch, drinks).
We booked a tour with Golavita, Mr Akram was very quick to respond to our questions and checked in with us daily to see how the tour was going.
Waleed, the tour guide, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The bottles of water to keep us hydrated was also a very nice addition.
The private transport was top class, modern air conditioned vehicles and friendly and helpful drivers.
Where do I start!!! A massive thankyou to Mr Akram and his team for creating amazing excursions giving you memorable experiences.
Right from the beginning, communication with Mr Akram was so professional, he attends to all your needs by listening to what it is you want to get out of your excursions and creates these amazing moments of a life time, all with the great connections he has. Nothing is too much of a hassle for Mr Akram, he answered all my questions thoroughly before I arrived.
Mr Akram showed me and my friend Hurghada City and bought us drinks, which was a lovely gesture for getting to know each other.
We went on two excursions whilst we were in Hurghada, one to Cairo and the other Luxor. Our hired car was very modern, clean and had AC, which gave us a great first impression.
A big shout out to our driver Hamada- what an amazing job he does, not enough credit is given. He drove so professionally and made us feel safe the entire time we were in his company.
A big shout out to Mushy our tour guide, what vast information she holds, absolutely amazing with great historical knowledge. She really gives you detailed information and takes her time explaining the finer details to you.
Overall our whole experience was amazing, many laughs along the way, many memories to treasure. Nothing is too much hassle for these lovely people, Mr Akram always made sure we were ok and enjoyed our experiences by checking in on us.
Drinks were always topped up ensuring we were hydrated all the time whilst on our tours.
If your thinking of booking with Palma tours, don't think just book, you will not regret it, right from the first communication you make with Mr Akram, things run so smoothly that's its literally stress free for when you arrive.
I can't thank Mr Akram, Hamada and Mushy enough, these three deserve well over 5 stars, and I'm already looking at my next trip for next year and I'm 1000% booking with yourselves again and Mushy and Hamada you'll be the people I'll be looking to hire again. Much love from Jill and Sobia (UK)
For a party of five a luxor trip was organized by Akram and his team. With the excellent guide Ashraf in Luxor they made it a unforgettable experience. Thank you for the good organisation of the trip.
