Sharm : Cairo Excursion by Flight, Pyramid GEM or Ancient Museum
Description
Experience the largest museum of ancient Egyptian art with its treasures of Egypt’s great past, such as the high-quality tomb goods. Our tour guide will humorously explain the most important exhibits in a two-hour stay and answer your questions. Marvel at the last existing wonder of the world - a fabulous experience! A total of three pyramids can be found here : the Chephren, the Cheops and the Mykerinos pyramid. You can discover the terrain on foot, horseback or on camel for yourself. After visiting the pyramids of Giza, you will head to the Great Sphinx, by far the largest and most preserved sphinx. It consists of a human head on a lion's body. The sphinx was hewn from the remains of a limestone hill that served as a quarry for the Cheops pyramid. Felukenfahrt on the Nile. In consultation with the tour group for a fee.

Itinerary
You will be picked up from your hotel around 4am. Upon arrival in Cairo, your tour guide will meet you and accompany you throughout the tour. Meet your Egyptological tour guide at the museum to start your day. Visit the state-of-the-art Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the largest archaeological museum in the world with over 100,000 artifacts, or the Ancient Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. Select your preferred museum during the booking process. Afterwards, enjoy your lunch. The further course of the excursion will take you to the great pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus. The pyramid tour ends at the Sphinx and the temple in its vicinity. If time permits, you will have the opportunity to drive to Cairo Bazaar at the end of the day before returning to Sharm el Sheikh. Upon arrival at the airport, you will be driven to your hotel in an air-conditioned car.
When returning from Cairo in the late evening, we will spend some time visiting medieval London (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, cafés and a giant dancing fountain, where you'll be drawn to Cairo's chic, modern nightlife.
If we have time, we can make two characteristic visits to the Papyrus Museum and the Essential Oils Factory. These two attractions will introduce you to ancient Egyptian techniques for making papyrus and essences. These two interesting visits expand your knowledge of daily life in ancient Egypt and are also helpful for the Egyptian farmers who work in these sectors and preserve these very ancient handicrafts from ancient Egypt. (These visits depend on the time remaining.)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ahmed was a fantastic tour guide — very knowledgeable, considerate and friendly. The whole trip was extremely well organised, and he made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves throughout. His jokes were genuinely funny, and his photography skills were brilliant too! 📸 He captured some fantastic moments for us. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Ahmed to anyone looking for a great tour guide. Thank you, for making the trip so enjoyable!
Was very easy to book and at a competitive price. All details were sent in advance and clear. Pick up was on time and the full service was very efficient. Driver was very good and tour guide very knowledgeable and approachable. Tour guide - Ahmed made the day very enjoyable. Price included all admission fees and lunch. We did in 1 day, long day but made the most of it. Thank you Ahmed and team.
Absolutely awesome. Truly once in a lifetime trip. Transport was great and our driver was there whenever we needed him with cold water. Our guide was Hussain and he was amazing, his knowledge was epic and he couldn't do enough to make the day brilliant. The GEM was truly outstanding with so much to see and do. I could have spent days in there. 100% recommended.
Great day out exploring Cairo! easy transfer to the airport and reps along the way. Treated by our lovely guide who was with us all day! We visited the pyramids first to beat the heat, and then after visited the new GEM museum. We also visited an oils and perfume shop, and another which taught us how to make paper out of papyrus. We had lunch included with views of the pyramids, and also had a boat ride on the Nile! fab day out and looked after us from start to finish, especially my 7 year old Son. Thank you team! Would highly recommend!
3.30am pick from hotel everything went smoothly through the airport and we met our guide at Cairo airport. Guide and driver couldn’t have done more, the Pyramids were fascinating and GEM museum was well worth a visit.
The experience was excellent, seeing the Giza plateau, The GEM museum were excellent. The flight was easy (although it is a very long day!) We also chose to do the extra activities, camel ride and Nile boat cruise which were worth the money! Mohammed was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. Really enjoyed the whole day, would highly recommend!
Excellent organization, clear and precise information. Transport to Cairo was excellent; they gave us fresh water several times. Very evocative visit to the pyramids. Excellent lunch, very good, even if the drinks are separate they are reasonably priced. The guide spoke excellent Italian and explained many things to us both at the pyramids and at the GEM, in addition to giving us a lot of general information about Cairo. Relaxing trip on the Nile. The flight was also on time and more comfortable than many scheduled flights.
Excellent trip. Very good guiding.. we saw a lot of main things in Egyipt.
Had an amazing time travelling to the Pyramids, camel ride and the G.E.M museum and also stopped for a boat ride on the Nile. Our guide Reem and driver Mohammad Abdul were both fantastic and really made our day more enjoyable. Reem's wealth of knowledge was incredible. A great experience. Would definitely recommend.
Great day from pickup. Prompt information great and Sam is knowledgeable gentleman. Very much enjoyed the trip for the Nile is extra but worth doing. Organisation was very good. Would recommend.
