After visiting the Pyramids of Giza, visit the Great Sphinx, by far the largest surviving sphinx. It consists of a human head on the body of a lion. The Sphinx was carved from the remains of a limestone hill that served as a quarry for the Great Pyramid of Cheops. Felucca cruise on the Nile is available for a fee.
Around 4am you will be picked up from your hotel. Upon arrival in Cairo, you will be met by your guide who will accompany you throughout the tour.
Meet your Egyptology tour guide at the museum to begin your day. Visit the state-of-the-art Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the world's largest archaeological museum with over 100,000 artifacts, or the Ancient Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. Select your preferred museum during the booking process.

The further course of the excursion takes you to the great pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus. The tour of the pyramids ends at the Sphinx and the temple surrounding it. At the end of the day, if time permits, you will have the opportunity to go shopping before embarking on the return journey to Hurghada.
If the return flight from Cairo is late in the evening, we will spend some time visiting the London of the Middle Ages (Khan el Klalili market), Old Cairo, recently added to the UNESCO World Heritage list, or Cairo Festival City, an extra-large shopping mall (air-conditioned), one of the largest in the Middle East. Full of the most famous international brands, restaurants, cafes and a huge colorful dancing fountain, where you will be drawn to Cairo's chic, modern nightlife.
Upon arrival at the airport, you will be transferred to your hotel in an air-conditioned car.
If we have time, we can make two characteristic visits to the Papyrus Museum and the Essential Oil Factory. These two attractions will familiarize you with the ancient Egyptian techniques of making papyrus and essences. These two interesting visits will increase your knowledge of daily life in ancient Egypt and will also be helpful to the Egyptian farmers who work in these sectors and preserve these very old handicrafts from ancient Egypt. (These visits depend on the time remaining.)
Afterwards, your mind needs some rest. You can, for example, relax with a boat trip on the Nile and discover Cairo from the water.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Booked an excellent tour very last minute through Get Your Guide. The organization was top-notch, and especially the tour guide Adam led us perfectly through the day. He presented the Egyptian culture to us in excellent German in an engaging and entertaining manner. I can only highly recommend this tour.

the 1hr 15 min flight from hurgada was pretty smooth , we were met right outside the arrivals by the tour guides and we were lucky enough to get Mr Falcon. This guy had a wealth of knowledge about egypt and let us know exactly what was going on and when. The pittas we had after the pyramids were amazing, an absolute highlight. The restaurant was good, Museum is stunning and worth the money alone. We paid the extra £10 for the nile sunset boat ride which was a good experience and went on for alot longer than we thought. all in all a fantastic trip don't waste your money on the big holiday company trips as these are the same price but have a 6-7 hour bus ride each direction. unless you enjoy a 4 am start to your day

We had booked the trip for the second time and were again very satisfied. Our tour guide Jakob managed to bring us closer to his country, the culture, and especially Cairo as the center of Egypt in the relatively short time we had. Jakob not only went through the offered program but also provided insights into completely different areas of Cairo - the City of the Dead or the City of Garbage Collectors was very impressive for us as a family from Berlin and showed us how fortunate we are to live the way we do. I would book this tour with Kairos again at any time - TOP and once again a special thanks to Jakob.

Great, varied tour in Cairo. Flying was very pleasant and not too stressful. Ahmed was a great and competent guide. I booked directly online through Book Tour Egypt.

Transfers were smooth and there were no issues surrounding the airport collections. Overall the experience was very interesting with lots of information given by our guide Mr Falcon. He is very passionate about the history of Egypt but sometimes can speak a little quickly it can be hard to follow. Overall the pyramids and the Museum need a whole day each to fully explore as there is so much that has been missed because time is so short. We really wanted to spend time exploring the museum, however its so big and there just is not enough time. We had a buffet lunch which was ok, but not amazing. We also did the Nile trip which is also just ok but worth doing for a bit of fun, even if the boats engine was so loud you couldnt hear each other speak. Would recommend, but it is an extremely long and tiring day.

Good value for money, day ran smoothly from private pick up and drop off. Mr Falcon our guide is a fountain of knowledge and will ensure any lucky men don't rip you off. Brilliant guide for the day. Excellent lunch location and good quality food. Drinks are extra as are panorama views at the Pyramids but we'll worth the extra...advise you all to take Egyptian pounds to use in shops ...exchange rates fluctuate drastically when dealing with locals 😎
