program The pyramids The Sphinx The Egyptian Museum City tour in Cairo Having lunch We will pick you up from the hotel at 3:00 in the morning and drive to Cairo about 430 km. with an air-conditioned car or mini-bus. Around 5:30 a.m. we take a short break in a restaurant. We arrive in Cairo around 8 a.m. and first take a small city tour of old Cairo so that you can get to know real life in Egypt better. Then we visit the Egyptian Museum, the treasury of 7000 years of civilization. The legacies of ancient Egyptian culture are preserved in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, one of the most important museums in the world. They tell the story of an intelligent people. We then have lunch in a typical local restaurant and then drive to Giza, where we visit the Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Valley Temple. The pyramids are certainly the most spectacular evidence of a high culture on the Nile.
Learn interesting facts about the development of pyramid building. Study all of the building techniques that Egyptian builders may have used to build the pyramids, the relationship between the location of the pyramids and the astronomical constellation, puzzling mysteries of the pyramids, and more.
The mysterious sphinx The Great Sphinx in Giza is a mythical creature with the body of a lion (the power) and the head of a human being (the prudence). It is the oldest known monumental sculpture in all of Egypt and is generally believed to have been built during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre (approx. 2558-2532 BC). It lies on the eastern side of the Chafre pyramid and is directed directly from west to east, which is why it was later considered to be the embodiment of the sun god (Hour Am Achet). The Sphinx has been the guardian of the pyramids since its inception.
The Egyptian Museum, the treasury of the 7000 year old civilization. The legacies of ancient Egyptian culture are kept in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, one of the most important museums in the world. They tell the story of an intelligent people and their great achievements. In fact, you can feel the radiance of the wonderful works and the magic of ancient Egypt in the garden of the museum, even before entering the building. The museum is filled with the scents of a glorious past and in the eyes of the statues you can see the light of times past.

First of all, many thanks to Jakob, our tour guide, for this unforgettable day in Cairo on 15 October 2024! The private excursion with Memmon Reisen is certainly not cheap, but worth every euro. The service was simply excellent. All questions were answered and the pick-up also went smoothly on the day. A tip: You can book additional services on the day. For example, a trip on the Nile or the trip to the plateau at the pyramids. You need extra money for this. I wasn't aware of this. I rarely take a credit card with me on such day trips. Ask Memmon Reisen here in advance. We would book there again at any time. Because here you definitely don't experience a coffee trip with a sales show. We were allowed to decide for ourselves what we wanted to see and for how long.

As a family we really liked it in Cairo at the pyramids. Our guide, Emras, comprehensively and with a lot of energy has conducted us the amazing story of the construction of the pyramids and through the impressive history of ancient Egypt. You are picked up very early depending on the place and the drive to Cairo (6h, net actually 5h, but with 3 forced stops due to the police, who regularly check the buses). The drivers were competent and helpful, did not speak English or German, but they could. After visiting the pyramids, including the Sphynx, you will continue to the Egyptian museum or restaurant (depending on how fast you get through). Egyptian Museum is worth seeing, but also large and with a lot of relics. At the restaurant you can still get local specialties, but nothing earth-shattering. Unfortunately, we went to Cairo on Friday and the market is not open, but otherwise you could visit the market. The guide as well as the drivers always adapt to the customers and are very polite and helpful. Thank you Memnon for the eventful trip. Next time we will book with you again!!

Just great!!! We booked the private Cairo tour from Hurghada with flight. Punctually 4:45 we were picked up and driven to the airport. Once there, our guide Makdi introduced himself and planned our day. He was very helpful and always had an open ear. He only recommended the pyramids to us because it can get very hot there at lunchtime. Makdi explained everything to us about the whole day. And kept asking if we understood everything. He also told us something about the population and its way of life which was very helpful. The whole day was perfectly planned through, but at our pace. The guide took care of us all day, bought water again and again or other drinks on request. Just great. We will come back and then book Luxor and definitely through Memnon Trips. I can only recommend it. No sales tours, just pure culture. PERFECT!! 5stars are not enough for this here you should give 10 stars. TOP!!!

It was a great day with Jakob. Everything was coordinated with us temporally and locally. We had enough time and breaks everywhere. Lunch was great too. Highlights were the pyramids, the Nile cruise through the city and the bazaar at the end. The organization was great also from hotel pickup to flight with Egyptair. Would recommend the trip to anyone if you want a lot of cultural information and to look into the culture!

Our 2 day private plane trip to Cairo and Giza was perfect from start to finish. The morning pickup from the hotel in Soma Bay took place on time and in Cairo our guide Essam and our driver Khalil were already waiting for us. Both led or drove us safely through Cairo both days. Essam followed our wishes and so we started by visiting the pyramids in Giza. A unique experience, we even stayed in the burial chamber of the CheopsPyramid. After lunch, which was also very good, we visited the articulating pyramid and the red pyramid and then drove to the hotel to prepare for the next day. The next day we were picked up again on time and drove to Sakkara to visit the pyramid and tomb. We visited a small inconspicuous pyramid with a fantastic burial chamber. After visiting the Coptic quarter and having a very good lunch right on the Nile again, we went to the Egyptian museum, of course with the Tutankhamun exhibition and many other beautiful pieces. Finally we went with Essam through the old town and souks of Cairo, which was also super interesting. At no time did we feel uncomfortable or insecure, it was all super interesting and absolutely relaxed and safe. Also the return flight from Cairo to Hurghada and the transfer back to our hotel went great. We can fully recommend Memnon Trips, after the private trip to Luxor last year it was our second trip with Memnon and certainly not our last!
