Overview
Embark on an unforgettable journey through Egypt’s fascinating capital with our Small Group Tour to Cairo. Designed for comfort and cultural discovery, this full-day adventure offers an intimate experience of the city’s most iconic landmarks.
Your day begins early in the morning with a comfortable pickup from Safaga Cruise Port in an air-conditioned limo or minibus. Relax and enjoy the scenic drive across the desert as you make your way to the bustling metropolis of Cairo.
Upon arrival, your first stop will be the Grand Egyptian Museum – the world’s largest archaeological museum and home to an unparalleled collection of ancient Egyptian treasures. Explore fascinating exhibits, including artifacts from the tomb of Tutankhamun, colossal statues, and timeless relics that tell the story of one of the world’s greatest civilizations.
After the museum, you’ll have the option to enjoy a 30-minute boat ride along the Nile River (available for an additional charge). Drift along the legendary waters that have nourished Egypt for millennia and take in the vibrant life along its banks.
Next, take a break for a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where you’ll sample authentic Egyptian cuisine before continuing your adventure to the Giza Plateau.
Here, stand in awe before the Pyramids of Giza, the last surviving wonder of the ancient world. Discover the mysteries of the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Pyramid of Chephren, and the Pyramid of Mykerinus, as your guide shares the stories and secrets behind their construction.
Continue to the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple of Khafre, marveling at these astonishing monuments that have stood the test of time. For an added touch of adventure, you may choose to take a camel or horse ride around the pyramids (available as an optional add-on).
As the day draws to a close, relax and reflect on your incredible experiences during the comfortable return journey to Safaga.
