After pickup from your Hurghada hotel, enjoy a rest on the 5-hour drive to Cairo by comfortable, air-conditioned bus: please arrange a breakfast box with your hotel. On arrival, you'll meet your Egyptologist guide, who'll escort you to the Egyptian museum, one of the greatest assemblies of ancient Egyptian artefacts in the world, with over 120,000 items in its vast collection, including the treasures of King Tutankhamen's tomb. Next, it's back on the bus and into Cairo for a well-deserved lunch at local restaurant.

After lunch, tour magnificent Giza Pyramids. Marvel at the three famous pyramids, built by the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure.

Witness the mighty Sphinx, a half-lion, half-human creation that's one of the world's largest and oldest monumental statues. Then explore the beautifully preserved Valley Temple, which was buried under sand for thousands of years. (Should you wish to climb inside a pyramid, or visit the Solar Boat Museum, additional charges apply.)
