Itinerary:
My Egypt Travel arranges this long-haul road trip from the Red Sea to the capital to make the most of your time in the world-famous city of Cairo by bus.
Very early morning departure (often around 1:00 AM – 2:00 AM) from your hotel in Hurghada via air-conditioned bus for the long drive to Cairo.
Following your arrival in Cairo, your private Egyptologist guide will meet you and introduce you to the history of the Pyramids of Giza. You will have time to enter one of the pyramids (additional cost), but your guide is not permitted to escort you. A short drive across the plateau finds you standing at the feet of the enigmatic Sphinx. Also in Giza, you may visit the Solar Boat Museum (optional), home to the remarkably well-preserved funerary boat of Khufu.
Next, you will visit the magnificent Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), which houses the complete artifacts from Egypt’s Pharaonic period, including the priceless treasures of King Tutankhamun.
Lunch will be included at a local restaurant.
Continuing to Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, you’ll enjoy free time to stroll through the maze of streets and bargain for a souvenir of your trip. You will also have the chance to visit a Papyrus Institute to see how the famous artwork is made.
In the late afternoon, you will begin the long driving journey back to Hurghada by bus.
