Itinerary
Embark on Giza Pyramids and Great Statue of Sphinx & Visit the Grand Egyptian Museum
Enjoy an early morning hotel pickup as you settle into your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle for the approximately 45-minute drive to Hurghada Airport. From there, you'll take your flight to Cairo. Please note that exact flight timings and your detailed schedule will be provided after booking, based on availability. Upon arrival, your plane will land at Cairo International Airport.
Stand in Awe Before the Giza Pyramids and Great Statue of Sphinx
Meet the majesty of the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops)—if you want to visit it from inside, tell your Egyptologist at the ticket booking office to help you book an extra ticket for that. Take amazing shots and touch the magnificent stones of this pharaonic miracle while uncovering its dazzling mysteries.
Besides the Cheops Pyramid, you will find the Satellite Pyramids, “the Pyramids of the Queens,” made for Khufu's mother, daughter, and wife. Meet the Giza Builders Tombs and the Mortuary Temple, “the Purification Temple,” where the kings’ mummies were purified with 7 holy oils.
Was the Nile running from here?! That is what will come to your mind when seeing the Pits of the Solar Boats. Walk through the same causeway as the ancient Egyptians, arriving at the Valley Temple, where the kings were mummified.
Visit the Chefren Pyramid, which still keeps the cladding of the pyramids since the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egyptian Civilization, and the Menkaure Pyramid, where you discover the full mystery of Orion’s Belt and its relation to the Pyramid of Giza.
Ascend to the Panorama for a wonderful view encompassing the entire plateau, featuring six majestic pyramids and the iconic Sphinx. Afterwards, visit the Great Statue of the Sphinx itself, where ancient puzzles surrounding it date back to the very era of the pyramids' construction. Your captivating visit to the Giza Pyramids then concludes.
Explore the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)
Marvel at the massive statue of Ramses II at the entrance, and wander through 12 galleries showing unique artifacts that have not been displayed before, including the most precious treasures like the full collection of Tutankhamun.
These galleries immerse you in ancient Egypt's rich tapestry of eras, from prehistoric times through the Greek and Roman periods, encompassing the pharaonic Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and New Kingdom.

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).
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.
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)
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!
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 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.
