During your stay, you will discover an exceptional heritage, magnified by the Grand Egyptian Museum — a new cultural gem that houses priceless treasures, including Tutankhamun's complete funerary furniture. Just a few kilometres away, the majestic silhouettes of the pyramids of Giza and the enigmatic gaze of the Sphinx beckon you to journey back in time to the origins of one of humanity's greatest civilisations. Prepare for a unique experience that blends modernity and antiquity in the heart of a city that never ceases to amaze.

Your detailed itinerary

DAY 1 | ARRIVAL IN CAIRO

Arrival in Cairo.

Cairo is one of the largest metropolises in the world, sprawling across both banks of the Nile. Welcome upon arrival and assistance with entry formalities.

Transfer to the hotel. Check-in and overnight stay at the hotel.

DAY 2 I CAIRO

Breakfast at the hotel.

Depart on a tour of the Giza Plateau and its incredible pyramids: The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops), built around 2650 BC, is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the only one to have stood the test of time. For over 4,000 years, it was the tallest monument ever built by humans, standing at 146 metres.

Khephren:The Pyramid of Khephren appears taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza, but in reality it is slightly shorter. Its more pronounced angle of inclination and its location on slightly higher ground give this impression. The tomb of King Mycerinus, also known as the Pyramid of Mycerinus, is much smaller than the other two pyramids, standing at just 66 metres tall.

The Sphinx: a lion with the head of a pharaoh, whose role was to defend the entrance to the tomb against looters. It is 73 metres long and 20 metres high.

Lunch during the visit

Next, visit the Grand Egyptian Museum, which has finally opened after several years of delays. This cultural treasure offers a unique insight into ancient Egypt. Housed in a spectacular setting at the gates of the Giza plateau, it boasts the largest collection of ancient artefacts, including Tutankhamun's treasure.

USEFUL INFORMATION

Tips: ‘bakchich’! A word you will quickly learn! While it is easy to refuse solicitors, tipping is part of the culture and rewards a job well done and good service. Tips for guides are never included. They are left to the discretion of each individual.

Accommodation is in line with local standards.

Airport security checks in Egypt can be extensive and unpredictable depending on the number of tourists, which is why the tour leader plans the schedule as far in advance as possible.

Due to heavy traffic in Cairo, travel times can be long.

During excursions, you will be grouped with other participants.

This package includes periods of free time during which you can explore at your leisure. However, you will have to pay the cost of transfers yourself.

Optional extras are available at an additional cost, to be paid on site to your guide or local representative.

The order of visits may be changed due to local circumstances.

The pace of the visits may be fast (see the day-by-day itinerary for details of all visits included), which means getting up very early in the morning (except when the boat is sailing).

Egypt is a cultural destination.
