One Day Adventure Hurghada to Cairo Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)

Private Day Trip: Cairo's Ancient Wonders from Hurghada

Your exclusive Cairo adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your Hurghada hotel lobby. Settle into your comfortable, private, air-conditioned vehicle as you embark on your journey.

Midway, enjoy a refreshing coffee break at Zaafarana Rest. This is your opportunity to eat breakfast, utilize the facilities, enjoy your morning coffee, or simply relax before proceeding with your journey.

Explore the Giza Pyramids Complex

Upon arrival in Cairo, meet your dedicated Egyptologist at the gate of the Giza Pyramids Complex. Should you wish to venture inside the Great Pyramid of Khufu or the second Pyramid of Khafre, please inform your guide at the ticket office to arrange the necessary extra tickets.

Your Giza Pyramids Day Tour commences at the mighty Cheops Pyramid. Adjacent to it, discover the three Pyramids of the Queens (Satellite Pyramids), built for Khufu's mother, daughter, and wife. Learn the fascinating stories behind these structures; notably, Khufu's mother's pyramid is often open for free visits from the inside (except on Fridays).

Move on to the Mortuary Temple (the "Purification Temple"), where priests historically purified the kings' mummies with seven holy oils. Arrive at the Pits of the Solar Boats—"Was "the Nile running from here?!" Your Egyptologist will uncover all the secrets of these remarkable boats, used for ceremonial sailing and beyond.

Cross through the tombs of Giza builders, exploring their secrets before proceeding to the Khafre Pyramid (Chephren Pyramid). This pyramid uniquely retains some of its original cladding, offering a glimpse of how the pyramids once appeared. Explore the Menkaure Pyramid, then ascend to the Panorama for a dazzling view encompassing all six pyramids, providing incredible photo opportunities.

Finally, visit the iconic Great Sphinx, discovering its ancient secrets, including the Dream Stele of King Thutmose IV between its feet. Before reaching the Sphinx, you'll visit the Valley Temple, where kings were mummified, and walk through the Causeway, the ancient path used to transport royal mummies to the pyramids.

Nile-side Lunch Experience

After your pyramids exploration, settle into your comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle for a short drive to a top-class Nile boat. Enjoy a delightful lunch on the Nile Cruise boat, savoring your meal amidst an amazing view of the Nile River and Cairo.

Grand Egyptian Museum Visit

Following lunch, a comfortable drive will take you to the magnificent Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). Prepare to be immersed in thousands of ancient artifacts across 12 expansive halls. Witness tools and artifacts from the daily life of ancient Egypt, alongside statues and monuments reflecting religious beliefs and the afterlife world of kings, queens, and citizens. The halls expertly display eras from the Predynastic and Old Kingdom to the Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom, extending to Greek and Roman times. Marvel at the world-renowned Tutankhamun's treasures, along with the Silver King treasures and the Yuya and Tuya treasures.

Return to Hurghada After an enriching day filled with history and wonder, you'll begin your comfortable air-conditioned driving tour back to Hurghada, a journey of approximately five hours.
