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.

Flew early in the morning from Hurghada and arrived in Cairo as the sun came up. We were met by Mr Fami in Cairo who was to be our tour guide for the day. All day he was excellent and so helpful. We started off at the pyramids and Sphinx. Then had a nice lunch followed by Nile river cruise then the Museum. The day was finished off by a walking tour thru Cairo old town. Highly recommended trip.

Very interesting and worthwhile day trip to Cairo We booked the trip from Hurghada to Cairo by plane and were overall very satisfied. The organization was good, and our guide Fahmi was really great. He was friendly, attentive and accompanied us throughout the day with a lot of knowledge and humor. His explanations of Cairo's history, the pyramids and the Egyptian Museum were exciting and informative. He also warned us very well about the typical tourist traps (the so-called Monkey Business) and gave us helpful tips on how to avoid them. We felt well looked after and safe with him at all times. We found the two stops in so-called “museums” a little less beautiful – once in a papyrus museum and once in a perfume or essence shop. Both visits turned out to be sales events. First we were offered drinks, then something was briefly explained, and then it was clearly expected that you would buy something. This was a bit uncomfortable, as it made you feel slightly pressured. The only downside was the return transfer in the evening: After the long and exhausting day we had to wait a long time at the airport in Hurghada for our driver, which was especially tedious with the children. Nevertheless, it was a very interesting, informative and worthwhile excursion, especially at this price. We would definitely recommend him – especially thanks to our great guide Fahmi!

This was a family trip and we had an excellent time in Cairo, Alexandria, Aswan, Luxor, Nile Cruise and finally to Sharm El-Sheikh. Reem Atweel organized our complete itinerary in Egypt and she also was an excellent guide.

Pick up time was advised day before and contact details provided via what’sap. Arrived on time and transfer to airport was prompt. Airport and flight was very easy if a little confusing at first as not having any paperwork was unusual but the airport are very used to these trips and there really was nothing to worry about. Flight on time and airplane was a great experience think it only held about 40 of us. Met by our guide Fahmy who was outstanding. Only 8 of us in our group which was amazing. Fahmy was vey knowledgable and kept us entertained all day. Mohammed our driver got us everywhere safely which was a feat in itself as the traffic is crazy!! The whole day was perfect from start to finish and I would heartily recommend taking this trip if you want to do exactly what it says in its description. There is a lot of walking and I want to say a special thank you to Fahmy for making sure I was ok, he helped me when the terrain was a bit uneven as i have an injured knee and he stopped at times so I could rest and got everyone around us to tell us some history etc never making me feel like I was slowing everyone down, thank you.

Booked this trip and purposely selected the 6am pick up time, contacted the tour operator in Egypt and agreed flight times via WhatsApp 2 months before the trip 19 hours before the trip received confirmation from the tour operator and completely different times to what we had agreed - 3.30am pickup not 6am Tour operator refused to change flights and as we had less than 24 hours we could not cancel and get a refund (thus trip was nearly £600) Contacted Viator who did very little - tried to contact the your operator who completely ignored them until they knew we had left to go in the terminal (can't afford to lose nearly £600) both Viator and tour operator unprofessional and not bothered about any of this The trip it's self had good point but is unnecessarily dragged out so they can take you to local shops to sell you tourist stuff. The optional extras are not really optional - if you don't do the boat trip you will spend more time sat on a bus or stood in the sun waiting for everyone else, at the pyramids if you don't pay for the camel rides you don't really have anything to do as 3 hours is too long to spend there. I thought I had booked the trip I wanted with the flight times that suited our family by agreeing everything in advance in writing and selecting the later time when booking but all this was completely ignored and deliberately after the cancellation cut off. No support is available from Viator and the fact that the tour operator would not respond to them makes you concerned what would have happened in an emergency My advice - find a reputable local company who will honour what you agree and deliver the trip you book

The trip was great in itself. Everything worked out as planned. The driver who picked us up was very nice and punctual. The Magdy in Cairo was awesome. He knew a lot, was very educated and was able to give us a lot of information about Egypt and the Pharaohic period. Next time I pass on the suggestion to our friends and acquaintances that Magdy definitely has to do because he really knows quite a lot about Egypt. They planned that great and we saw everything. We did not use the complete bazaar ourselves because we were very tired.

A good trip to the Pyramids and Museum with a very knowledgeable guide. Things to consider are, this is a very long day with a lot of walking. We didn’t have long enough at the pyramids to see all of them properly before we had to leave and we were ushered to a perfumery and then on to a papyrus demonstration both of which were not really on our agenda. Although lunch was included there was no time to stop for another meal which was needed as we left the hotel at 3.30am and did not return until after 10pm. Despite this, it was good to experience Cairo and Giza
