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.

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.

Overall, the trip was great! Within a day I was able to gain a lot of impressions. At the end of the day I was very done but it was worth it. Jakob responded to all our individual wishes and took good care of us. And of course he provided us with interesting facts about Cairo and ancient Egypt ;)

We took a day trip by plane from Makadi Bay to Cairo. It all worked out as discussed before. We were picked up at the hotel on time and driven to the airport. In Cairo, a very nice and competent guide was already waiting for us at the airport and accompanied us throughout the day. For us it was a worthwhile trip to Cairo, which we can definitely recommend.

Great trip! Atef, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and flexible. We were able to help decide what to do in the different places. So we expanded our tour by visiting a burial chamber and walking around a pyramid from the inside. In addition, we were able to book the tour of the Coptic Quarter for the booked excursion with remaining time.

We made a tour to Cairo and are absolutely thrilled! Especially the two drivers, Samir and Emil, were simply top – very safe, professional and at the same time fast on the road. You felt in good hands all the time, partly because they were very attentive and caring. Also our guide Magdy was great: He explained everything super understandably and really tried to show us as much as possible in a short time. Clear recommendation – we would book again at any time

It was a great trip. Communication with memnon travelling via whats app was very good. The guide Maghdi Ghali and the bus driver Rafaat in Cairo were great. Maghdi told us a lot about the history of Egypt and led us to the hotspots in the GEM. Short and crisp!!! The tour of the bazaar was also impressive. The cars were in very good condition. The food in the restaurant was very delicious. It was just a great day in Cairo!!!
