Description
Embark on an unforgettable One-Day Cairo tour from Sharm El Sheikh and experience the breathtaking majesty of the Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx. This exclusive journey offers a unique perspective on Egypt’s ancient wonders, taking you deeper into the mysteries that surround these iconic landmarks. You’ll gain a new understanding, revealing that the Giza Pyramids are far more than just royal tombs and the Great Sphinx is more than merely a pharaonic statue.
Walk the very causeway where ancient Egyptians once carried mummies of kings from the Valley Temple—where they underwent mummification—to the Mortuary Temple for sacred purification rituals with seven holy oils. Step into these remarkable ancient Egyptian sites and truly live the history. Uncover unique insights as you find the pits of the royal boats. Was the Nile River truly flowing here in ancient times? Or did these boats serve another, perhaps spiritual, purpose related to the pharaohs’ journey to the afterlife? The discovery is yours to make!
You’ll have ample time at each stop to capture breathtaking and creative photos, ensuring your Cairo tour from Sharm El Sheikh is memorably documented.
Grand Egyptian Museum: A Treasure Trove
Wander amidst over 100,000 unique artifacts from ancient Egypt, many displayed for the very first time, at the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). This includes the complete and dazzling collection of Tutankhamun’s treasures, offering an unparalleled glimpse into pharaonic history. This isn’t just a museum; it’s a time capsule where your eyes will shine from historical treasures, and you’ll feel full amazement focusing on the features of each statue, as if a real human being stands before you—a testament to the ingenuity of the pharaohs.

- Really great day out, Akram , knowledgeable and fun,Akram was good company. A really excellent itinerary and experience, with all the hassle taken out and a lot of positives added in. Highly recommended to everyone!
- 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 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!
- 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.
- 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!
- Ashraf was our Egyptian professional guide for a Czech small group planned "Sacred journey to the chacra temples of Egypt". As the title already says, not only were we using his incredible life experience of an egyptolog, tourist guide and organiser. We were also using his experience with the places themselves, which of the extra tickets are worth the money to visit the extra places, which of the villages and shops are fair and having good things. And of course all the historical stories linked to the places we visited with open mind to some new more alternative explanations of happenings too. The organisation of our trip from Hurghada, through Asuan, Luxor, Ghiza and back Hurghada is fully his expertise. Minivans, boat, train... He was always with us handling all to our happiness ❤️ Buying extra water, bananas or ordering better for stomach digestion food.
- 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.
- We arranged the tour a few weeks in advance before arriving in Egypt. Akram presented us with a complete private tour program, starting in Hurghada, visiting Cairo, the Black and White deserts, Alexandria and finally returning to Hurghada. Everything run smoothly, from the different drivers, who picked us up and dropped us off, always punctual and safe (especially Hamada, 'Medo'!) to the guides, in particular Reeham in Cairo who was just outstanding and Ahmed in the desert tour who welcomed us in his home together with his family before taking us and preparing our dinner in the desert! The overnight stays were all planned in great detail. It was definitely an incredible experience during these 4 days! A huge thank you to Akram!
- 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.
