In the other part of the trip, we will see the mind-blowing pyramids of Giza.

We will pick you up in your Marsa Alam hotel before breakfast. So please ask your hotel reception a day before to prepare a breakfast box for you for the next morning. Next, we will drive to Hurghada International Airport by an air conditioned luxury car.

Your tour guide who is qualified in Egyptology will be expecting you upon your arrival to the Cairo airport. You will get in an air-conditioned plane and set off on your tour.

The multi-religious historical part of Cairo is called Misr al-Qadīma and we will visit the Church of Saint Sergius here as well as the oldest mosque in Egypt.

We will explore the Egyptian Museum housing thousands of objects representing the oldest civilization dating back to 4 000 BC. You can see stone sarcophagus here, traditional boats, statues of pharaohs and extraordinary archeological treasures.

We will enjoy our lunch in a local restaurant and a short break to refresh ourselves before we will head to the pyramids of Giza. We will see the famous pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure and continue to the valley temple or the mummification temple where we will conclude our tour.
