For this day, in the morning, you will be picked up from your hotel in Hurghada and transferred to Cairo airport for your flight to Cairo. Upon arrival at Cairo airport, you will be greeted by our Egyptologist guide and taken on a tour of the city, including a visit to the Giza pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. We recommended that you wear white cotton clothes to avoid the sun's rays and to feel more comfortable.
After you arrive in Cairo, you'll be taken by bus to the Giza Plateau. You'll begin your tour at the Pyramids of Khufu (Great Pyramid), Khafre (Second Pyramid), and Menkaure (Third Pyramid). You'll learn about how they were built and their significance in ancient Egyptian culture.
Next, you'll visit the Great Sphinx of Giza—a statue of a lion with a human head that is believed to be over 4,000 years old. Then you'll take a walk through the Valley Temple before heading inside the Great Pyramid itself for a brief tour led by an expert guide. Afterward, enjoy light refreshments at a local cafe before returning to your hotel by bus.
The rest of your first day will be spent at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. The museum houses over 130,000 artifacts from throughout Egypt's history; it is one of the largest museums in the world and contains some of the most famous finds from ancient Egypt.
In the evening you will be driven to Cairo airport for a flight to Luxor and then meet our representative and transfer to the hotel for overnight there.
