Please ensure to bring passports with a valid Egyptian visa, as they are required at checkpoints en route to Cairo. Guests can also request a complimentary breakfast box from their hotel in advance to take along for the journey.
- Cairo - Upon arrival in the vast historical city of Cairo, the contrast from Sharm El Sheikh is immediately apparent. It’s a lively metropolis with a high population, bustling streets, and a blend of ancient and modern architecture. Walking through Cairo’s streets reveals a different side of Egyptian life — full of energy, history, and local charm.

The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities - The Egyptian Museum: The tour begins with a visit to the Egyptian Museum, one of the most significant museums globally and a true treasure trove of ancient Egyptian civilization. Situated in Tahrir Square, the museum houses over 120,000 artifacts, showcasing more than 5,000 years of history.
Inside, guests will walk among statues, mummies, jewelry, and royal coffins that bring the stories of the Pharaohs to life. The highlight of the visit is the Tutankhamun Gallery, where the young king’s golden mask, his solid gold sarcophagus, and many of his personal belongings discovered intact in his tomb in the Valley of the Kings can be seen.
Each hall of the museum unveils a new chapter of Egypt’s glorious past — from the Old Kingdom pyramids to the New Kingdom temples and the treasures of the great pharaohs. A guided tour will help guests understand the meaning behind each exhibit and how they shaped ancient Egyptian history. -
Tour Boat Nile - Nile boat trip: After visiting the Egyptian Museum, guests have the option to enjoy a relaxing boat trip on the Nile River — a truly unforgettable way to experience Cairo from the water. As they sail along the world’s most famous river, the city’s skyline, bridges, and daily life unfold before their eyes. The calm breeze and beautiful views offer the perfect break after exploring the museum.
This optional activity is not included in the tour price and costs from around 10 EUR per person, depending on the size of the group. The guide will help arrange it on the spot if guests wish to join.
It’s a wonderful opportunity to take photos, enjoy the gentle rhythm of the Nile, and see Cairo from a completely different perspective before continuing the journey to the Pyramids. -
El Dar Darak - Lunch: After the optional Nile boat trip, guests will stop for a delicious lunch at a local Egyptian restaurant. They can enjoy a freshly prepared meal featuring traditional favorites such as grilled chicken, kofta, rice, salads, and warm pita bread — the perfect way to recharge after a morning of sightseeing.
Lunch is included in the tour price, however, drinks are not included and can be purchased separately at the restaurant. This is a time to relax, enjoy the meal, and experience authentic Egyptian hospitality before continuing the journey through the fascinating city of Cairo. - Panoramic view of the Pyramids - The Pyramids: The next stop is the Giza Necropolis, home to Egypt’s most iconic monuments — the Great Pyramids of Giza and the mysterious Sphinx. Standing before these ancient wonders is an unforgettable moment, as guests witness the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World still in existence.
Explore the Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), the largest and oldest of the three, along with the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, each with its own fascinating history and secrets. The guide will share the stories of how these colossal structures were built over 4,500 years ago, revealing the incredible skill and vision of the ancient Egyptians.
Guests will then visit the Panorama Viewpoint, the perfect spot for breathtaking photos of all three pyramids rising majestically from the desert sands. They can take in the vastness of the site and enjoy some free time to capture the moment or even ride a camel with the pyramids as a backdrop.
- Panoramic view of the Pyramids - Camel or Horse Ride: Guests will also have the chance to ride a camel or a horse with the pyramids as a backdrop. It’s a fantastic experience, but they should ask the guide to help negotiate and ensure a fair price from the local vendors.
- Great Sphinx - Sphinx: After exploring the pyramids, the tour continues to the Great Sphinx of Giza, one of the most mysterious and iconic monuments in the world. This colossal limestone statue, with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh, has guarded the Giza Plateau for more than 4,500 years.
Believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre, the Sphinx symbolizes strength, wisdom, and protection. Standing 20 meters high and 73 meters long, it’s an incredible example of ancient Egyptian artistry and engineering. As guests walk around the site, the guide will explain the legends and secrets surrounding this timeless monument — from ancient rituals to modern discoveries.
Don’t forget the camera — this is one of the most photographed spots in Egypt, offering stunning views of both the Sphinx and the Pyramids together.
- Cairo - Shopping: If time allows before leaving Cairo, guests will have the opportunity to stop for shopping at one of the city’s traditional local workshops. They may visit a Papyrus Factory Museum, where they’ll see how the ancient Egyptians made the world’s first form of paper, or a Perfume Factory, where natural oils and essences are still produced using ancient methods.
Guests can also explore local souvenir shops, offering hand-crafted items, Egyptian cotton, jewelry, and beautiful gifts to take home. These optional visits are a great way to experience Cairo’s culture up close — and the guide will be happy to help choose trusted shops and negotiate fair prices.
- Sharm El Sheikh - Transfer Back: At the end of this unforgettable day, the bus will depart from Cairo heading back to Sharm El Sheikh. The return journey takes approximately 6 to 8 hours, depending on traffic and rest stops along the way.
Guests can relax on the comfortable coach after a long and exciting day exploring Egypt’s ancient wonders. They will arrive back in Sharm El Sheikh around 1:00 AM, and be transferred directly to their hotel — bringing their Cairo adventure to a close with amazing memories that will last a lifetime.
