A memorable two-day trip from Hurghada to Cairo will be organized, traveling through Egypt's large desert lands. This scenic route would give visitors an appreciation of the country through the beautiful landscape before entering the busy capital. After a full day of sightseeing in Cairo–such as the unsurpassed Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx–go on to relish the history of ancient Egypt with a guided tour of the Egyptian Museum, which houses a magnificent collection of antiquities, including the treasures of King Tutankhamun.
In the evening, you will stroll through Old Cairo, as witnesses to the greatness of streets such as El Moez Street with its gorgeous Islamic architecture and liveliness. On the second day, you will step into a world of ancient wonders and visit a unique mini-museum containing replicas of Egypt's most famous monuments.
Islamic Cairo will continue to amaze you with stunning mosques and centuries-old buildings narrating chronicles of Egypt's cultural richness. If time permits, you might also stop at a traditional bazaar to shop for handmade souvenirs and enjoy the buzz of the local markets. After two full days of discovery, we will treat you back to Hurghada, and you will take away unforgettable memories of the historical and cultural gems of Egypt.
First day, you have a rejuvenating breakfast before the memorable adventure begins as a representative picks you up from one of the hotels in Hurghada by a comfortable air-conditioned bus. Sit and relax as the drive stretches for six hours down the magnificent coastline of the Red Sea before finally reaching Cairo. It is here that the wonders of ancient Egypt begin for you. The Giza Plateau, where the memorable Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus stand, is your first and elated point of interest. You will marvel at how huge they are and be astonished by the engineering achievement against which you stand under their shadows.
Nearby, contemplate the Great Sphinx - it's an enigmatic statue with a lion's body and the head of a pharaoh guarding the secrets of the past. Visit also the Valley Temple since it's a site of significant importance as part of the Chephren Pyramid complex where ancient rituals took place.
After a hearty lunch in one of the local restaurants, the expedition through history will bring you to the well-known Egyptian Museum, the treasure house of antiquities, which includes thousands of artifacts, from the glistening treasures of King Tutankhamun to other relics of Egypt's long and exciting history. As the day comes to an end, you will be comfortably brought to your hotel in Cairo for a good overnight stay, preparing you for another round of exploration.
