Itinerary:

For the budget-conscious traveler, My Egypt Travel offers this bus excursion from Sharm el-Sheikh to ensure you don’t miss the chance to explore the magnificent city of Cairo.

Depart from your Sharm El-Sheikh hotel and drive to Cairo by comfortable, air-conditioned bus/coach. Your Egyptologist guide will accompany you.

Your tour begins at the Great Pyramid and Sphinx of Giza, home to the Great Pyramid, the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Your guide will introduce you to each of the pyramids from the outside, and you will have time to enter inside one (additional cost). Continue across the plateau for a photo opportunity of the pyramids rising from the sands with the Cairo skyline in the background. A short drive across the plateau finds you standing at the feet of the Sphinx.

Next, you will visit the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Housing 165,000 Egyptian artifacts, the museum attracts millions of visitors a year. The highlight for most is the rooms containing the priceless treasures of King Tutankhamun. His six gold gilded coffins dominate the main hall, while his magnificent death mask is the must-see item of the day. The Royal Mummies Room (additional cost) is also popular, where you can see the mummies of many great Egyptian rulers, including Ramses II. Your guide will introduce you to the most important pieces in the museum before allowing you free time to explore.

Lunch will be included during the tour.

Continuing to Khan el Khalili bazaar, your guide will introduce you to the famous markets. Enjoy free time to stroll through the maze of streets and try your luck bargaining for a souvenir of your trip to Egypt. This is a private tour allowing you to determine the amount of time spent at each site.
