2 Days Tour to Cairo from Hurghada by Air

Your day starts with a pick-up from your hotel in Hurghada, where your Cairo Top Tours representative will be waiting to take you in a private air-conditioned car to Hurghada airport for your flight to Cairo. At Cairo airport, you will meet our representative and a professional guide who will accompany you on your amazing excursion.

Your day begins with an impressive visit to Saqqara, which is truly an open museum, containing most of the monuments of ancient Egyptian history, including the tombs of the kings and high officials of the First and Second Dynasties (ca. 3040-2686 BC), the oldest monumental stone structure in history of King Zesar (ca. 2686-2667 BC), and the pyramids of the most important kings of the Fifth Dynasty (ca. 2494-2345 BC) and the Sixth Dynasty (ca. 2345-2181 BC), including the pyramid of King Wanis (ca. 2686-2667 BC). It has pyramids for the most important kings of the Fifth (ca. 2494-2345 BC) and Sixth (ca. 2345-2181 BC) Dynasties, with the pyramid of King Wanis (ca. 2375-2345 BC) being the first to inscribe its burial chamber with pyramidal texts intended to protect the king during his journey to the other world.

Next, we head to Memphis, which is considered one of the major capitals of ancient Egypt. Its origins are linked to the unification of the Nile Delta and Upper Egypt in the time of King Mina, and it remained the capital of Egypt during the Old Kingdom and the administrative and military capital during the New Kingdom. The name ‘Memphis’ (Μέμφις) is a Greek corruption of the name of Nefer's second pyramid of Pepe, which is still the Coptic word for Mina. Narmer established the first ruling family, created a strong army to protect the country, and made Memphis the capital of Egypt.

We will conclude our first day with a very worthwhile visit to one of the seven wonders of the world still in Cairo which is the Pyramids of Giza where you can explore The Great Pyramid and Khafre are two of the largest pyramids built in ancient Egypt and have become famous symbols of ancient Egypt in the Western imagination. The Great Pyramid became especially famous during the Hellenistic era, when the Greek poet Antipater the Sidonian listed it as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Great Pyramid is the oldest and the only one that remains intact. You can also see the pyramid complex of Menkaure, consisting of the Valley Temple, a corridor, a funerary temple, and the Pyramid of the King. The Valley Temple housed several statues of King Menkaure, and a smaller frontal temple was added during the 5th Dynasty. The funerary temple also housed several statues of Menkaure. The Pyramid of the King, completed around 2510 BC, contains three sub-pyramids known as the Pyramids of the Queens.

After having your delicious lunch, we will go back to your hotel in Cairo to spend the night.
