Itinerary
Day 1: Visit Saqqara Necropolis, Memphis, and Giza Pyramids Plateau
From Soma Bay to Cairo's Ancient Wonders
Your extraordinary journey begins with a professional, cozy pickup service from your Soma Bay hotel. Settle in your private, modern, air-conditioned vehicle for a comfortable drive toward Saqqara. The road offers a relaxing stop midway, perfect for breakfast, snacks, coffee, or a quick break.
Explore the Saqqara Complex.
Upon arrival, meet your dedicated Egyptologist and visit the fascinating Saqqara Complex. Your first stop is the Unas Pyramid, where you'll be surrounded by the first pyramidal texts in history—a profound insight into two-thirds of the pharaohs' secrets about the afterlife. Next, marvel at the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the groundbreaking first structure built of limestone in humanity, a pivotal architectural achievement that paved the way for all structures to follow, including the magnificent Giza Pyramids. Continue to the Idut Tomb, where vibrant inscriptions offer a vivid glimpse into the daily life of ancient Egyptians, depicting farms, fishing trips, and various activities.
Discover Memphis
Drive to Memphis, the initial capital of ancient Egypt. Here, you'll encounter the massive Colossus of Ramses II, a 10-meter (33-foot) long statue lying majestically in the open-air museum.
Lunch at a local restaurant
Savor Local Flavors Indulge in a delicious lunch at a local Egyptian restaurant, tasting some of the best Egyptian cuisine. If you're vegetarian, simply let us know, and we'll ensure a perfect meal selection for you.
Giza Pyramids Necropolis Visit
It's time to face the awe-inspiring Giza Pyramids. Approach the Cheops Pyramid to touch its ancient majesty, experiencing a truly unique sense of wonder. The Giza Pyramids hold profound mysteries about their builders and construction methods—they are indeed far more than just royal tombs! You have the option to enter Khufu's Pyramid (with an extra ticket, not included in the tour cost). Move to the Queens' Pyramids, where you can enter the Great Pyramid built for Khufu's mother for free (except on Fridays).
Explore the Mortuary Temple within the Giza Pyramids Plateau and visit the Giza Builders Tombs. Walk along the historical Causeway after discovering the Solar Boat Pits, pondering the historical fact that the Nile once flowed through this area. Visit the Chefren Pyramid, still adorned with its unique cladding, and then arrive at the Valley Temple.
Ascend to the highest point of the Giza Pyramids Plateau, the Panorama, for a dazzling view encompassing all six pyramids and the Great Statue of the Sphinx. Descend to stand before the legendary Great Statue of the Sphinx itself, ready for its mysteries to reveal the majesty of ancient Egypt's greatness. For an additional charge, you can also enjoy a camel or horse ride to roam the awe-inspiring Giza Pyramids Plateau.
Hotel Check-in Conclude your day with a smooth hotel check-in in Cairo, ready to relish a restful night.
Meals: Lunch
Day 2: Visit Egyptian Museum, El Moez, and Khan El-Khalili Bazaar
Cairo's Cultural Gems & Return to Soma Bay
Begin your day by relishing a delicious breakfast meal at your hotel. Afterwards, meet your knowledgeable Egyptologist in the hotel lobby, ready to embark on another exciting day of discovery.
Explore the Egyptian Museum.
Step into the renowned Egyptian Museum, where you'll roam through two vast floors brimming with massive statues, intricate sarcophagi, dazzling jewelry items, invaluable treasures, and rare artifacts. Your journey through time will span from prehistory through the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and New Kingdom, even encompassing the eras of Roman and Greek civilizations. Your guide will unravel the mysteries behind each treasured piece, making you feel as if you're truly flying through ancient eras.
Discover El Moez Street and Khan El-Khalili Bazaar.
Pass through one of the ancient historical gates that enclose Old Cairo, arriving at the very heart of the Fatimid and Mamluk eras. This area, El Moez Street, remarkably preserves its historical atmosphere. Visit Al Hakim Mosque, home to some of Egypt's oldest minarets, and continue through this ancient open-air museum. Explore the Qalawun Complex, featuring a Madrasa, Baramstan, Sabiel, and other significant historical sites that reveal the grandeur of Old Cairo. Conclude your exploration by immersing yourself in the bustling Fatimid market, Khan El-Khalili Bazaar.
Savor Local Flavors
Enjoy a delightful lunchtime experience at a local restaurant, where you'll savor one of the most delicious Egyptian dishes, rich with dazzling flavors.
Journey Back to Soma Bay After a day filled with historical and cultural immersion, take your seat in the comfortable, private, air-conditioned vehicle for your scenic drive back to Soma Bay. You'll arrive at your hotel in Soma Bay in the evening, concluding your incredible Cairo adventure.

이집트 여행, 10일이면 충분할까요?
네! 10일이면 이집트의 주요 명소와 최고의 활동들을 볼 수 있습니다. 서두르지 않고 카이로, 나일강 크루즈 (아스완에서 룩소르까지), 그리고 홍해/사막 휴식을 즐길 수 있습니다.
투어를 예약해야 할까요, 아니면 자유여행을 떠나야 할까요?
둘 다 훌륭한 선택입니다. 가이드 투어는 편리함을 보장하고, 자유 여행은 유연성을 제공합니다.
이집트 여행, 안전한가요?
네, 이집트는 일반적으로 안전하며, 특히 관광 지역은 더욱 그렇습니다. 현지 조언을 따르기만 하면 됩니다.
10일 안에 시와 오아시스 또는 백사막 방문이 가능할까요?
가능은 하지만, 홍해 방문을 위해 룩소르/아스완 관광 시간을 줄여야 할 수 있습니다. 아니면 홍해 대신 사막 여행을 고려해 보세요. 하루나 이틀 정도 일정을 추가하는 것도 좋습니다.

Excellent private tour with a very knowledgeable , intelligent and tour guide. Ashraf went the extra mile to make sure our two day trip went smoothly and took us to all the best sites in Luxor. He also gave detailed interesting information throughout. He also has a fun character and was fun to talk to outside the tour!

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.

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 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!

Great private tour to see desert and abandoned Roman ruins. Excellent service. We had private jeep, driver and tour guide. Amazing adventure, more than we expected. I strongly recommend this service. They can take you to some cool and unknown places far from main routes. Thank you for the amazing time!
-
Everything was great. We did Cairo tour and Luxor. 7 pers with driver and guide. The trips was tiring, but it was worth it. We received exactly the services reserved.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I had an unforgettable overnight trip to the Sataya-Dolphin House. Great organization and easy communication. All of my wishes were taken into account and fulfilled. Thank's a lot!
