Itinerary
Day 1: Explore Giza Pyramids, Great Statue of Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum
Private Pick-Up from Soma Bay Hotel
Be ready for early departure from your hotel. Meet our representative at the hotel lobby, and get your air-conditioned seat in the private vehicle going ahead to Cairo.
Unlock the Giza Pyramids and the Great Statue of Sphinx Secrets.
What is the reality of who built the Giza Pyramids, slaves or creative workers?! The truth will surprise you. What about the hidden energy inside these pyramids and their relationship with Orion’s Belt? All of that made Napoleon Bonaparte spend a night inside the pyramid.
Obviously, the pyramids have not been just royal tombs! Then, why was the Great Statue of the Sphinx built?! Was the Nile running here, and is that why you find pits of the royal solar boats?
Uncover all these mysteries and more while standing in awe before the Great Pyramid of Cheops, where you find beside the Queens’ Pyramids “Satellite Pyramids,” Solar Boat Pits, and the Mortuary Temple for purifying the mummies with 7 holy oils—pharaonic puzzles to live their details.
Proceed to the Chephren Pyramid, and meet the Causeway for carrying the royal mummies; meet the Valley Temple for mummifying the royal tombs.
Visit the Menkaure Pyramid, and arrive at the Panorama, taking dazzling shots with the Six Pyramids and the Great Sphinx, after taking shots while touching the majesty of each pyramid. Finally, arrive at the Great Statue of the Sphinx. As your awe-inspiring visit to the Giza Pyramids concludes, a well-deserved lunch awaits.
Relish a local Egyptian lunch.
Experience a lunch meal rich with amazing flavors, offering one of the most delicious foods you can taste in your life. Afterwards, proceed to the Egyptian Museum.

Great experience for going in the Eastern Desert of Egypt! Very easy and fast booking, good price even if it was just me, not a group. Then the beduin-driver and the guide really nice persons! The car was good, safe trip, special places, some of them out of usual touristic tours, wich was also great! I recomand!!
We arranged the tour a few weeks in advance before arriving in Egypt. Akram presented us with a complete private tour program, starting in Hurghada, visiting Cairo, the Black and White deserts, Alexandria and finally returning to Hurghada.
Everything run smoothly, from the different drivers, who picked us up and dropped us off, always punctual and safe (especially Hamada, 'Medo'!) to the guides, in particular Reeham in Cairo who was just outstanding and Ahmed in the desert tour who welcomed us in his home together with his family before taking us and preparing our dinner in the desert!
The overnight stays were all planned in great detail.
It was definitely an incredible experience during these 4 days!
A huge thank you to Akram!
A very beautiful experience which made our stay in Egypt unforgettable; Luxor with a caring guide and Cairo with Ismaël; a very cultured guide who listens to the happiness of customers.I would recommend this agency without hesitation
The luxor 2 day trip was amazing. We have young children who struggled at times, but the guide and driver were fantastic. Everyone enjoyed the historical sites, and the hot air balloon ride was incredible. I would definitely recommend this trip and this company.
We had a good experience Our guide was good and gave us much information He also gave us som time to walk around alone
Driving with car from Hurghada to Luxor is to long The driver was good but drived a little to fast we talked to him and it was the much better
Our guide was good in english
We had the best guide ever, Ashraf! He is super skilled with a big heart. We became friends. I could definitely recommend Ashraf and the guided travels he does!
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.
We really enjoyed our Dahabiya trip from Luxor to Asswan, everything was well organized, great boat and crew, amazing food, and a perfect and pleasant tour guide Sayed
Our experience on the Dahabiya with Golavita was absolutely fantastic. We had a very professional guide, Mohamed Nagdy who spoke excellent Spanish, and we learned about the fascinating history of Ancient Egypt in a relaxed and enjoyable way. The Dahabiya Iris is truly recommended, a perfect combination of comfort and culture.
