Cairo and The Red Sea Short Luxury Trip

After enjoying a buffet breakfast at the hotel, you’ll be greeted by a certified tour guide who will take you on a tour of the Giza Pyramids. This tour will offer you a new perspective on Egyptian history, and your guide will be available to answer any questions you may have throughout.

King Cheops, son of the great builder Snefru, is known for his pyramid, while Snefru himself constructed the middle pyramid at Giza. Additionally, King Mycerinus, Cheops' grandfather, built the smallest of the pyramids, which can be viewed from the plateau, especially if you opt for a camel ride.

In the Valley of King Chephren, you’ll see the royal mummified remains of King Chephren and the grand Sphinx statue with its distinctive lion-headed man likeness. It’s an incredible sight to behold!

For those interested in ancient Egyptian art, a visit to Saqqara is a must. This site, which predates the Giza Necropolis by 200 years, is home to some of Egypt’s finest tombs, including the notable tomb of Kagemni, the vizier of justice and son-in-law of King Teti.

Next, we’ll head to Mit Rahina, where an open-air museum showcases fascinating artifacts from various periods of ancient Egyptian history. Highlights include the alabaster sphinx of Memphis, one of the largest in Egypt, and the colossal statue of Ramses II, a prominent king of the 18th dynasty. Lunch will provide a delightful way to experience all that this remarkable site has to offer.

After breakfast, you’ll be accompanied by your tour guide on an engaging city tour of Cairo, starting with the Cairo Citadel. This tour will introduce you to some of the city's most significant historical sites and provide insights into the Islamic culture that has shaped Cairo for centuries.

You’ll explore the impressive medieval fortifications, including the Saladin Citadel, built by Sultan Saladin in the 12th century to protect Cairo from potential threats. Saladin initially recruited mercenaries for the Egyptian army, who later amassed power, wealth, and public support before being overthrown by Mohamed Ali Basha in the infamous Citadel Massacre.

Inside the Citadel, you’ll find the stunning Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali, which offers one of the highest vantage points in Cairo on clear days.

Interested in exploring key sites in Christian history? We’ll show you some of the world’s earliest churches, as well as the location where the Holy Family is believed to have stayed during their flight from Herod. You’ll also visit one of the oldest synagogues in the Middle East.

Following a delicious lunch, you’ll head to the bustling Khan El Khalili market in downtown Cairo.
