Early in the morning, at approximately 05:00 AM, our representative will pick you up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh and transfer you to Sharm El Sheikh Airport for your flight to Cairo.
Upon arrival at Cairo Airport, your expert Egyptologist tour guide will be waiting for you outside the arrival hall holding a sign with our company name to begin your unforgettable journey through Egypt's capital and its most famous ancient treasures.
Giza Pyramids Complex
Your adventure begins with a visit to the legendary Giza Pyramids, home to the last surviving wonder of the ancient world.
Explore the magnificent Great Pyramid of King Khufu (Cheops), built more than 4,500 years ago using an estimated 2.4 million stone blocks. Standing originally at 146 meters high, it remains one of the greatest engineering achievements in human history.
Continue to the panoramic viewpoint where you can enjoy breathtaking views of all three pyramids aligned against the desert horizon and capture some of the most memorable photographs of your Egyptian journey.
Your tour also includes stops at the Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren), still retaining some of its original casing stones near the summit, and the smaller but elegant Pyramid of Menkaure.
The Great Sphinx and Valley Temple
Proceed to the iconic Great Sphinx, the mysterious guardian of the pyramids with the body of a lion and the face of a king. Standing proudly for thousands of years, the Sphinx remains one of the most recognizable monuments in the world.
Nearby, visit the Valley Temple of King Khafre, where ancient purification and mummification rituals were once performed.
Lunch
Enjoy lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant before continuing your tour.
Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)
Continue to the spectacular Grand Egyptian Museum, located only a short distance from the Giza Plateau. The museum is the largest archaeological museum in the world dedicated to a single civilization and houses thousands of priceless artifacts from ancient Egypt.
Among its highlights is the extraordinary collection of treasures from the tomb of King Tutankhamun, discovered in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter in the Valley of the Kings. The collection includes more than 3,500 artifacts, many of which are displayed together for the first time.
Khan El Khalili Bazaar
Your final stop is the famous Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest and most vibrant markets in the Middle East. Wander through its narrow streets filled with traditional handicrafts, spices, jewelry, perfumes, souvenirs, and local cafés while experiencing the atmosphere of historic Islamic Cairo.
After completing your tour, transfer to Cairo Airport for your return flight to Sharm El Sheikh, where our representative will meet you and transfer you back to your hotel.

Trip of a lifetime
From the pyramids at Giza to the temples of Luxor, every day was perfectly organised. Our guide was knowledgeable, warm and made sure we never felt rushed. Highly recommend Egyptian Trips.
Seamless from start to finish
Booking was easy, the driver was always on time, and the hotels were excellent. The Nile cruise was the highlight of our holiday. We will be back for the desert tour next year.
Knowledgeable guides, no hidden costs
Everything was exactly as described. Our Egyptologist brought the history to life and the whole team was responsive on WhatsApp throughout the trip. Five stars well deserved.
Better than we imagined
A truly authentic experience. The food, the people and the sites all exceeded our expectations. Special thanks to the team for handling every detail so we could just enjoy Egypt.
Felt safe and looked after
As two women travelling alone we felt completely safe and cared for the entire time. The itinerary balanced sightseeing with rest perfectly. Cannot recommend them enough.
Outstanding value
Great communication before the trip and flawless execution once we arrived. Abu Simbel at sunrise was unforgettable. Thank you Egyptian Trips for a wonderful week.
