About This Excursion

Embark on a journey through the heart of ancient Egypt. Early morning, you will be picked up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh on a comfortable air-conditioned bus to Cairo. Upon arrival, your Egyptologist guide will lead you on a captivating journey through time, starting at the awe-inspiring Giza Plateau. Stand in the shadow of the Great Pyramid, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and gaze upon the mysterious Sphinx. Next, immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Khan El Khalili bazaar, explore labyrinthine alleys with colorful shops and browse unique souvenirs. Enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant before visiting the Egyptian Museum to discover mummies, sarcophagi, gold jewelry, and intricate statues from 5,000 years of history. Finally, relax on your comfortable bus ride back to Sharm El Sheikh. A more affordable alternative to the flight tour — experience the same iconic landmarks at your own pace. Note: This tour visits the historic Egyptian Museum at Tahrir Square (the "Old Museum") — not the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) near the Giza Pyramids.
