Your journey begins with a morning hotel pick-up in Hurghada and a scenic drive or internal flight to Cairo, where your Egyptologist guide will be waiting for your arrival. Your first stop will be the legendary Giza Plateau, home to the Pyramids of Giza. Discover the past and the history of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the small Pyramid of Menkaure from your guide's narratives about pharaohs who constructed them. Finally, get into a vintage Egyptian adventure experience by taking a camel ride in the desert, covering the pyramids and providing exquisite picture-taking options against these magnificent pyramids as your backdrop.
Then walk over to the nearby Sphinx, the enigmatic limestone statue with a lion's body and a pharaoh's head, guarding the pyramids for over 4,500 years. After a visit to the Giza complex, enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant before continuing your tour into downtown Cairo. You will see the world-famous Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, which is home to an incredible array of artifacts like the riches of King Tutankhamun, kings' mummies, and statues of old thousands of years old.
Complete your Cairo experience with a walking tour in Old Cairo, where you can admire historic Islamic architecture or go to a local bazaar to shop for souvenirs. In the late afternoon or evening, you will be driven or flown back to Hurghada.
