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.

During our 12-day vacation, we went on 3 excursions from Hurghada with MemnonReisen. Everything was easily booked from Germany via WhatsApp: 1 day in Cairo privately by car 2 days in Luxor privately 1 snorkeling trip to Paradise Island. All drivers were very nice and helpful. They also explained to us well what all the checkpoints on the drive through the desert were for, etc. Overall, the tours were well planned, packed with experiences without being hectic. The guides were all very good, professionally experienced and provided us with a lot of information. Small special requests (ice cream, camel ride) could be organized easily. The lunch was always very good and plentiful and special requests such as vegetarian or just fish instead of meat were no problem. About the excursions: Cairo: very long day, exciting to see so much of the changes in a city like Cairo. Luxor: my highlight. The temples are breathtaking, the Valley of the Kings is simply indescribable and the light and sound show in the Karnak Temple was the icing on the cake just because of the atmosphere. Our hotel for the night in Luxor was also great. The vendors in the shops at the exits to the sights were unfortunately a bit pushy. We discussed with our guide beforehand whether we wanted to buy anything, so we either got through quickly or just looked around. Snorkeling: the ship's crew were infectiously good-humored. It was just fun. The reefs for snorkeling were beautiful, our guide made a great effort to ensure that it worked out smoothly in the open sea with a 10-year-old child. The island was beautiful, but the highlight of the trip was definitely the ship and the snorkeling.

We went on holiday in Hurghada at the turn of the year 23/24 and after comparing offers we finally booked a 2-day car tour for 2 people to Cairo and Giza with the online travel agency MEMNON Reisen. Our expectations were exceeded in the best possible way. Mohammed was a first-class driver, the Egyptologist Aladin who joined us in Cairo was an equally first-class, German-speaking guide with extensive knowledge. Everything always ran on time and as a special highlight we were accommodated in a suite in the Steigenberger Pyramids Hotel with a direct view of the pyramids. For another planned trip to Egypt we will of course book excursions with MEMNON again, where you can also contact the extremely friendly Mr. Osman, who speaks perfect German, by phone. So absolutely recommended!

We can only praise Memnon Reisen for this trip. From contacting us via WhatsApp to planning and booking our flight, payment on pick-up and the super guide Markus, everything was perfect. Pick-up on time at the hotel and airport with driver and a huge crate of drinks. Guide Markus very competent and child-friendly (even got our children 6/7/9 ice cream and a Fanta). The museum was so varied and informative. Thank you for this. They also catered to our needs and we spent a really long time at the pyramids. We would do it again at any time, even with children! You were simply great.

It was a really nice day. Our guide "Markus" was just great. He had such a wide range of knowledge, was funny, very friendly and spoke very good German. You immediately felt comfortable with him. He learned a lot about the culture and the country and also gave you tips on how not to fall into the tourist traps. Our driver "Nuhr" was professional, calm and responded to all requests. He handled the chaos in Cairo very calmly. We felt very safe on this long journey.
