Itinerary

Day 1: Travel to Cairo & Visit Giza Pyramids and GEM

Pick-up from your Soma Bay hotel

Your adventure begins with a professional pick-up from your Soma Bay hotel. Settle into a comfortable, private, modern, air-conditioned vehicle for a relaxing journey to Cairo, complete with refreshing stops along the way.

Experience the Giza Pyramids Necropolis

Prepare for an awe-inspiring encounter as you arrive at the Giza Pyramids Necropolis. While your Egyptologist shares fascinating historical facts, standing before these colossal pharaonic marvels is an utterly unique and breathtaking experience. Capture magnificent photos as you get up close, even touching these ancient wonders. Your comprehensive visit includes the mighty Cheops Pyramid, the Chefren Pyramid, the Menkaure Pyramid, the enigmatic Great Sphinx, the Valley Temple (where kings were mummified), the Mortuary Temple (for the purification of kings), the Causeway (used for transporting mummies), and the intriguing Solar Boat Pits—ponder if the Nile truly once flowed through this desert landscape! You'll also see the Queens' Pyramids, known as "Satellite Pyramids," and the Giza Builders' tombs.

Ascend to the Panorama, the highest point on the Giza Pyramids Plateau, for unparalleled panoramic photos featuring all six pyramids and the majestic Sphinx. Descend to stand before the Sphinx itself, where you'll unravel the puzzle of the mysterious Dream Stele!

Savor Local Flavors

Indulge in a delicious lunch at a local Egyptian restaurant, savoring authentic dishes rich with the amazing flavors of the region.

Explore the Grand Egyptian Museum.

Prepare to be utterly awed by the magnificence of ancient Egypt as you step into the Grand Egyptian Museum. Be greeted by the colossal Statue of Ramses II at the entrance and the enormous, sacred Obelisk of Hatshepsut. Embark on a captivating tour through 12 expansive galleries, teeming with royal treasures and artifacts from daily life and the afterlife world for kings, queens, and common citizens alike. Marvel at dazzling statues of the gods and goddesses as you journey through millennia of history, from prehistory and the Archaic Period (First and Second Dynasties) through the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms, and even into the Greek and Roman ages.

After your enriching museum visit, you'll head to your hotel in Cairo for a smooth check-in and a well-deserved, restful night.

Exploring the Desert Landscape:

Your desert adventure begins as you join your local Bedouin guide and tour guide in a 4x4 vehicle. You'll journey through the unique landscapes, starting with the Black Desert, entirely covered in volcanic black powder. Next, visit El Heiz Village, where you can relax by a cold spring – and even take a refreshing swim if you wish!

Continue to the dazzling Crystal Mountain and the Aqabat Valley, where you'll literally walk on what was once an ocean floor. Enjoy a 15-minute stroll amidst the mountains, perfect for sandboarding, and sample local hibiscus, dates, and chocolate.

Finally, arrive at the Old White Desert, taking in its panoramic beauty, before a short drive brings you to the New White Desert. Here, you'll relish your camp in a joyful Bedouin atmosphere, complete with a BBQ dinner. As night falls, marvel at the magnificent view of the stars in the clear White Desert sky.

    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!

    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.

    Great service. We had a wonderful time. Our guide Abdel Salam was very kind, spoke excellent English and shared his extensive knowledge with us. We had a private AC car. Visited most of the main sites in Cairo over two days. Would highly recommend.

    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)

    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.

    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!

    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.
