Your Itinerary

  • 1) Uncover Cairo on a full-day journey from Soma Bay

    An A1toureg representative will collect you from your hotel in Soma bay at 002:00 a.m to Cairo With Air Conditioning Vehicles. The Distance is about 560 km, It Takes 6 hours to Cairo where you will be welcomed and assisted by our representative.
    You will reach Giza at 8:30 am First, you will explore the Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops ) which stands as the oldest and most massive of all the pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to survive largely undamaged to the present day.

    The great pyramid was constructed as a tomb for the Fourth Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu and estimates suggest it was built in the 26th century BC over a span of approximately 27 years. Originally towering at 146.5 meters (481 feet), the Great Pyramid held the record as the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Over the centuries, most of the polished white limestone casing was stripped away, reducing the pyramid's height to the current 138.5 meters. The visible structure today is the inner core construction. The base measures approximately 230.3 meters (755.6 ft) on each side, yielding a volume of around 2.6 million cubic meters (92 million cubic feet), which encompasses an internal hillock
    Should you wish to enter the burial chamber of King Cheops , this costs ( 25 $ per person)


    Next we will see the Pyramid of Chephren or Khafre. This r is the second-tallest and second-largest of the 3 Ancient Egyptian Pyramids of Giza and the tomb of the Fourth-Dynasty pharaoh Khafre (Chefren), who ruled c. 2558−2532 BC


    Following that we will take in the Pyramid of Mykerinus.

    Our next destination is the Valley Temple of king Chephren. Here you can get an up-close look at the Great Sphinx - the legendary guardian that watches over the vast funeral complex, combining its lion body with the face of king Chephren. You may also enjoy a camel ride near the Pyramids of Giza in the desert

    We then proceed to the Egyptian Museum The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Tahir
    It houses a remarkable collection of over 250,000 authentic artifacts spanning back 5000 years, featuring an exclusive exhibition devoted to Tutankhamen - a treasury of gold, jewels, and precious objects that lay sealed in his tomb for more than 3,500 years before the excavation uncovered them in 1920.


    Should you wish to enter the royal mummies hall, where you will sense the atmosphere of walking through the Valley of the Kings where most of these mummies originally rested, ask your Tripguide to take you to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. This costs 50 $ Extra per person.

    Très bonne excursion! Le voyage privé en voiture était confortable, et notre guide était excellent, partageant beaucoup d'informations intéressantes. Les pyramides de Gizeh et le Sphinx étaient impressionnants, bien que j'aurais aimé passer un peu plus de temps au musée. Dans l'ensemble, une belle aventure!
