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.

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 had a great quad bike ride in the afternoon. The guide had a great energy and humor that made the tour extra good. On the way to the tour we had a driver that shouldn't be driving tourist, but when we told it to the company they gave us a another driver that drove perfect so we could relax in the car. That's a good and professional way of handling a problem. We can recommend this company.
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
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!
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.
