Your Itinerary

Your A1toureg representative will collect you from your hotel in Soma Bay for the drive to Soma Bay Airport — a journey of approximately 45  minutes. Board your flight to Cairo, where you will land at 5:30 AM and be warmly welcomed by our waiting representative.

Your Egyptologist guide will then lead you on an immersive tour of the Pyramids of Giza — the three iconic structures of Cheops , Chephren and Mykerinus — along with the legendary Sphinx, whose pharaoh's head and lion's body date back to the reign of King Chephren, and the Valley Temple of the Pyramid of Chephren.

Step inside and witness firsthand how ancient Egyptians created the world's earliest paper from the Papyrus plant — a craft that shaped the course of human history. Browse the authentic papyrus artworks on display; this is an ideal spot to pick up genuine papyrus souvenirs to take home.

Sit down for a relaxed midday meal at a charming local restaurant in Giza, where the Pyramids View Restaurant setting makes the dining experience truly unforgettable.

Next, your guide will escort you through the remarkable Egyptian Museum , home to an extraordinary collection of Pharaonic artefacts spanning 5000 years — widely regarded as the world's finest and most extensive treasury of Egyptian art. Among the over 250,000 genuine pieces on display, a dedicated gallery showcases the legendary treasures of Tutankhamen, including gold and jewellery that lay sealed in his royal tomb for more than 3,500 years until its celebrated excavation in the 1920s.

Head into the heart of Islamic Cairo to wander through the vibrant lanes of Khan El Khalili, one of the oldest and most atmospheric bazaars in Cairo’s history.

As evening falls, you will be chauffeured to Cairo Airport to board your flight back to Soma Bay. The aircraft touches down at 20:00 and by 21:00 you will be on your way back to your hotel in Soma Bay.

Frequently Asked Questions

The tour includes round-trip domestic flights between Hurghada and Cairo, private transfers by air-conditioned vehicle, visits to the Giza Pyramids, the Great Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum, and the Khan El Khalili bazaar, plus lunch at a quality restaurant. An English-speaking guide is provided throughout.

Flying rather than driving saves you approximately 10 hours of round-trip travel time, giving you around 6–7 hours of actual sightseeing in Cairo. This is enough to comfortably visit all the main highlights — the pyramids, the museum, and the bazaar — without feeling rushed.

You will need your passport or a national ID card for the domestic flight check-in. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended for the pyramid and museum visits. Sun protection (hat, sunscreen) is essential for the outdoor sites. Your guide will handle all boarding arrangements.

The tour runs year-round, but October through April offers the most pleasant temperatures for sightseeing at outdoor sites like the Giza Plateau. Summer months (June–August) can be very hot in Cairo, though the museum visits remain comfortable as the interior is cooled.

This Cairo day trip was an unforgettable experience! The Giza Pyramids were truly mesmerizing, and having a private guide made the visit all the more insightful. Not only did we explore the Egyptian Museum, but shopping at Khan El Khalili Bazaar was the perfect way to end the day. Highly recommend this tour!

Eine tolle Möglichkeit, Kairo an einem Tag zu erleben! Die Besichtigung der Pyramiden war beeindruckend und das ägyptische Museum faszinierend. Einkaufen auf dem bunten Basar Khan El Khalili war das Sahnehäubchen. Der Reiseführer war kompetent und sehr freundlich. Sehr zu empfehlen!
