Cairo

An excursion to Cairo from Sharm El Sheikh is not just a trip — it is a true journey through time to the very origins of ancient civilization. It’s a unique chance to see with your own eyes the legendary pyramids, which for thousands of years have remained symbols of the power and mysteries of Ancient Egypt.

Your day begins with a comfortable ride across the picturesque desert. As the sun rises over the dunes, you will feel the world around you fill with golden light, and the silhouette of the city appear on the horizon.

Giza Plateau
The highlight of your journey will be arriving at the Giza Plateau. Here you will see the great pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. You will truly appreciate their colossal size, walk at their base, and feel like a mere grain of sand in comparison.

The Pyramid of Khufu, also known as the Great Pyramid of Giza, is the only surviving wonder of the Ancient World. Its perfect form and incredible scale continue to inspire awe and countless questions.

Next to the pyramids, you’ll meet the Great Sphinx — a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the face of a man.

Treasures of Ancient Egypt
After immersing yourself in the world of the pyramids, you’ll head to the Egyptian National Museum. This place is a true treasure trove, home to thousands of priceless artifacts. The highlight of the collection is the golden treasures from the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.

  • During the Nile boat ride, tourists who do not join this option must wait on the bus (per Egyptian tourism regulations);

  • Please note: guides may offer products for sale — this is common practice in Egypt. Our online service does not control the quality or pricing of these goods;

  • The bus toilet may sometimes be locked by the driver (under the pretext of malfunction) to avoid odors. We recommend using toilets at stops and near attractions (~10 EGP); restrooms at the lunch stop are free. In urgent cases, if the bus toilet is locked, please contact our booking department for assistance;

  • Citizens of Uzbekistan are not allowed entry to Cairo without a visa issued in advance by the Egyptian consulate. Please contact your MFA or consulate for details;

  • The excursion program can be adapted into a private tour with a personal car and guide. This allows for more flexibility and adjustments to your itinerary. Cost: $295 per vehicle (minibus with driver and guide) + $35 per adult (children $20) for the standard program.
