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.)

Beautiful experience!! Our Italian guide was the best I have ever had!! We would do it again immediately
Excellent experience from start to finish. Received information needed by WhatsApp the day prior. Everyone involved is really helpful, especially as we needed to get a VISA stamp at the airport. Tour is fab - we went straight to the Nile river cruise, Pyramids, lunch then GEM. The day absolutely flew by thanks to our very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide Hussain. We felt very safe with our guide, driver & security. Would highly recommend!
We took the tour with Mohamed (famous Cobra), a very skilled and knowledgeable guide in Italian. We had a good experience doing the tour with BTE. The driver Ahmed is also very kind and friendly.
I had a fantastic time on this excursion. The pyramids and the GEM were absolutely amazing. The GEM was full of amazing artifacts which are definitely worth checking out. Gimmy was an amazing guide. He was very friendly and engaging with the group and I learned a lot about Ancient Egypt from him. I would highly reccommend this excursion to anyone visiting Egypt. Especially if your a history fan. You will see some amazing stuff and learn a ton about Ancient Egypt.
We were guided through the new museum with charm, wit, and extensive knowledge of Egyptian history. Thank you very much, it couldn't have been better! The pyramids and the Sphinx were also included in the program. Thank you, Khaled, for the great tour 🤗 Everything was perfectly organized and highly recommended! Is everything well organized and only to be recommended? Top value for money 👍 Best regards, Monika
Jimmy was just fabulous so informative and good fun he was helpful and made our day. Really would recommend this guy
This experience is definitely good value for money, our tour guide was Sam and from the minute we met him to the end he had so much knowledge about Cairo, The Pyramids and The GEM Museum. The pyramids were incredible! Such a gorgeous sight to see and is definitely a must do on your trip or have you even been to Egypt?! We also did a camel ride to see the 9 pyramids and our guide for that was so kind and took plenty of pics for us! Definitely book this trip and if you get Sam as your guide you are very lucky 🤍
