Itinerary

Hurghada Cairo Private Day Trip with Giza Pyramids, Sphinx

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.

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
(5/5)
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.

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)

We went in the Safari and Paradise Island boat trip. Both were very well organised, great activities and the transfer made by driver was on time! I recommend especially the Paradise Island trip! The views on the island are amazing and the boat trip until there has such grest service on the boat (snorkeling, lunch, drinks).
(5/5)
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!
