Cairo & Giza Pyramids Day Trip from El Alamein | Private Tour

Your unforgettable day begins with a comfortable private pickup from your hotel in El Alamein by our expert Egyptologist tour guide. We'll embark on a scenic drive to Cairo, the bustling capital, ready to immerse ourselves in its ancient wonders.

Our first stop is the legendary Giza Plateau, home to the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus. Stand in wonder before these colossal ancient structures, testaments to the ingenuity of the pharaohs. Next, we'll encounter the enigmatic Great Sphinx, guarding the necropolis with its timeless gaze, and explore the adjacent Valley Temple, used for the mummification process of King Chephren.

During our visit to the Pyramids area, a delightful lunch will be served at a quality local restaurant in Giza, offering a taste of authentic Egyptian cuisine.

Following lunch, we'll delve into the fascinating world of ancient Egyptian artistry at a local Papyrus Institute. Here, you'll witness demonstrations of how the ancients crafted the world's first paper from the papyrus plant, with an opportunity to acquire authentic papyrus art as a unique souvenir.

Our journey continues to the magnificent Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. Housing an unparalleled collection of over 250,000 genuine artifacts spanning 5,000 years, the museum's highlights include the breathtaking treasures of Tutankhamun – a dazzling array of gold, jewels, and funerary objects discovered in his intact tomb. Please note that an optional visit to the Royal Mummies Room at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization incurs an additional fee of approximately $30 USD, payable directly.

Please be aware that the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is currently undergoing a phased opening. While limited access to the Grand Hall, commercial area, and exterior gardens may be available for trial visits, full access to all galleries and collections is restricted until its official grand opening.

As the day concludes, we'll begin our comfortable private transfer back to your hotel in El Alamein, arriving around 19:30, filled with memories of an extraordinary journey through Egypt's illustrious past.
