Itinerary

This tour has two options; you can either take a flight or a coach tour to Cairo. You will be picked up in an air-conditioned deluxe vehicle from your hotel in Hurghada . Accompanied by a Egyptologist guide, you will be taken on a tour of Cairo, the capital city of Egypt. The second option is to make the trip a comfortable super bus.
You will be taken to the Egyptian Museum, situated in the Tahrir Square in Cairo. The museum was first built in Boulak, but in 1891, it was moved to Giza Palace of  Ismail Pasha which housed the antiques that were later moved to the present building.
There are 107 halls in the museum. At the ground floor there are huge statues. The upper floor houses small statues, jewels and Tutankhamen treasures. It is the largest Egyptian antiques museum in the world and houses about 250,000 antique pieces covering the whole history of ancient Egypt, which extends over the past five thousand years. The Egyptian Museum comprises many sections arranged in chronological order.
Further on, proceed to the pyramids of Giza that lies on the west bank of the Nile facing Cairo. On top of Giza plateau rise the three pyramids erected by Cheops, Chepren and Mycerinus, guarded by the mysterious Sphinx which is a mythical statue with the body of a lion and a human head. Five thousand years ago, Giza became the royal burial place for Memphis, the Pharaoh's capital city. Giza's three pyramids and the Sphinx were constructed in the 4th dynasty of Egypt's Old Kingdom. About 2,500 BC, King Khufu, the second pharaoh of the fourth dynasty, commissioned the building of his tomb at Giza. On an average, over 2 million blocks of stone was used to build Khufu's pyramid, and the heaviest blocks were used as the ceiling of Khufu's burial chamber. Khufu's son was the next in the royal line who commissioned the building of his own pyramid complex which includes the Sphinx. Each pyramid has a mortuary temple and a valley temple linked by long causeways that were rooted and walled. Stop for lunch at a local restaurant.

After sightseeing in Cairo, you will be dropped back to your hotel in
Hurghada .
