Your Itinerary

An A1toureg representative will collect you from your hotel in Soma Bay at 02:45  for the drive to Soma Bay Airport, a journey of around 45 minutes.
Board your flight to Cairo, The flight department at Cairo at 5:30 AM where one of our team will be on hand to welcome and assist you on arrival.

Your private Egyptologist guide will lead you through the magnificent Pyramids of Cheops , Chephren, and Mykerinus , the iconic Sphinx bearing the head of a pharaoh atop a lion's body — a monument tracing its origins to the reign of King Chephren — along with the Valley Temple of the Pyramid of Chephren.

Discover how the ancient Egyptians produced the world's first paper using the Papyrus plant — and if authentic papyrus souvenirs are on your shopping list, this is exactly the place to find them

Sit down for a relaxing lunch at a local Cairo eatery with stunning views at the Pyramids View Restaurant

Next on the itinerary is the Egyptian Museum , home to a breathtaking treasury of Pharaonic artefacts. Housing a priceless collection spanning 5,000 years of art, it stands as the world's greatest repository of ancient Egyptian heritage. More than 250,000 authentic pieces are on display, among them a celebrated exhibit showcasing the treasures, gold, and jewellery from Tutankhamen's tomb — objects sealed away for over 3,500 years until their discovery in the 1920s.

Should you wish to visit the royal mummies hall, ask your guide to arrange a visit to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, which requires a separate admission fee of 200 Egyptian Pounds. Note that the New Grand Museum has not yet opened to the public and is expected to welcome visitors towards the end of 2021 or in 2022.

Head into the heart of Islamic Cairo to wander through the winding lanes of Khan El Khalili, one of the city's most historic and atmospheric market quarters.

As the day draws to a close, you will be chauffeured to Cairo Airport for your return flight to Soma Bay. Touchdown at Hurghada is scheduled at 19:00, after which your private vehicle will whisk you straight back to your hotel in Soma Bay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Une expérience inoubliable au Caire ! Voir les pyramides de Gizeh de près était irréel, et le musée égyptien a une collection incroyable. Nous avons adoré flâner et marchander au bazar Khan El Khalili. Notre guide privé a rendu le voyage encore plus spécial.

Es war ein fantastischer Tagesausflug! Die Pyramiden von Gizeh sind ein unglaubliches Wunder, das man gesehen haben muss. Unser Reiseleiter hat uns mit faszinierenden Geschichten zur ägyptischen Geschichte begleitet. Besonders genossen habe ich den Besuch des Khan El Khalili Basars - ein echtes Einkaufserlebnis!

Необыкновенный тур в Каир из Сома-Бей! Пирамиды Гизы и Египетский музей были просто великолепны. Наш гид знал все ответы на наши вопросы и сделал поездку интересной и насыщенной. Базар Хан Эль-Халили - отличное место для покупок и атмосферы.
