Select your group size:

See the Pyramids of Giza and the treasures of Tutankhamun in one long day from Sharm El Sheikh. You travel overnight to Cairo in a modern air-conditioned van with no more than eight guests, spend the day with a professional Egyptologist guide, and are back at your hotel late the same evening.

The first stop is the Grand Egyptian Museum, the world's largest archaeological museum, with colossal statues, royal artefacts and the treasures of King Tutankhamun. Then it's on to the Giza plateau and the three great pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, the Great Sphinx with the face of King Khafre and the body of a lion, and the Valley Temple, where royal mummification rituals once took place. Lunch is served at a local restaurant in Cairo before the drive back.

It's a long day, about 22 hours from pickup around midnight to drop-off around 22:30–23:00, and it runs every Tuesday. The price of €90 per adult includes hotel transfers, the van, entrance to the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Giza Pyramids complex, the Sphinx and Valley Temple, lunch and the guide. Important: Cairo is outside the Sinai, so you need a full Egypt visa, not the free Sinai-only stamp.
