The experience

The day starts with a pickup from your hotel in Hurghada and a flight to Cairo. Once you land, a guide meets you and takes you straight to the Giza Pyramids: the three tombs of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus. From there you move to the Great Sphinx, the limestone statue with a pharaoh's head and a lion's body, and the Valley Temple that belongs to the Pyramids of Chephren. Lunch follows at a local Cairo restaurant.

The Egyptian Museum comes next. It holds over 250,000 genuine artifacts spanning 5,000 years, and the centerpiece is the Tutankhamen collection: gold, jewelry and treasures that sat sealed in his tomb for 3,500 years before excavation in the 1920s. After the museum, the tour moves into Coptic Cairo, where you visit the Hanging Church and learn about the Christian and Jewish heritage of the area through the Ben Ezra Synagogue.

The final stop is Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest and largest markets in the Middle East. You have time to shop before transfer to Cairo Airport for the flight back to Hurghada and return to your hotel. Bottled water is provided throughout, and the vehicle is air-conditioned.
