In the morning, we will transfer you from your hotel in Hurghada to Hurghada Airport for a flight to Cairo. Upon arrival at Cairo airport, meet your private Egyptologist tour guide who will join you to start a private guided day trip to Cairo from Hurghada to discover all that Cairo and Giza have to offer starting with one of the Seven Wonders of the World:
Giza Pyramids Complex
The magnificent past of the ancient Egyptian civilization is commemorated at the Giza Pyramid Complex every day till all time is lost. The three main great pyramids, six smaller pyramids, the enormous sphinx, and the valley temple make up the Great Giza complex.
The Great Pyramid
The final remaining example of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Khufu is a work of unbridled majesty built to defy the passage of time. In 2580 BC, the Khufu pyramid was built over the course of 20 years utilizing 2,300,000 pieces of 2.5-ton limestone and a workforce of about 100,000 experienced free laborers. Its height of 147 meters (481 feet) made it the highest structure in history for 3800 years, and the interior is exquisitely decorated.
The Great Sphinx
The Great Sphinx, also known as “Hor-em-Akhet” (Latin for “Horus of the Horizon”), is Egypt’s everlasting heavenly protector. The sphinx is 73 meters (240 feet) tall, 19 meters (66 feet) broad, and is shaped like the sphinx, a mythical animal with the body of a lion and the head of a man thought to be king Khafre to display his strength and wisdom.
The Valley Temple
It was built during the Old Kingdom of Egypt (2686–2134 BC) to serve as the location for the mummification process. The valley is also a highly well-preserved archaeological site that contains important details about ancient Egypt’s funeral rituals.
Lunch will be served at a Pyramids/ Nile view restaurant, then move to visit:
The Egyptian Museum
The Egyptian Museum is a time capsule containing the most important ancient Egyptian artifacts from more than 4,000 years ago on its two floors, made of priceless materials like gold, silver, and precious gems as well as common ones like wood or stone found in the form of statues and funerary objects, as well as a number of other amazing structures that are well worth exploring.
Al Muizz Street
The luminous and blessed Al-Muizz street, located in the center of Old Cairo and not far from Khan El Khalili Bazaar, which is home to the most fascinating collection of historic artifacts and architecture, is thought to date back to the 10th century AD.
Khan El Khalili Bazaar
The Khan El Khalili Bazaar is a famous street from history that was built in 970 AD to be the Middle East’s equivalent of the Golden Brick Road. It is still a bustling bazaar with all the shops and markets a traveler could want, as well as a number of antique cafes that capture the elegance and prestige of classical Islamic culture.
