🏛️ Full Description:

Your journey begins around midnight with a comfortable, air-conditioned coach transfer from your hotel in Marsa-Alam.

Upon arrival in Cairo in the early morning, meet your licensed Egyptologist guide and start your day at the incredible Grand Egyptian Museum — the newest and most impressive museum in Egypt. Admire its vast collection, including royal mummies, ancient statues and the full treasure of Tutankhamun displayed together for the first time.

Afterwards, head to the Giza Plateau, home to the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World — the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinos — and the Great Sphinx guarding them for thousands of years.

Enjoy a delicious buffet lunch in a local restaurant before exploring traditional crafts: a papyrus institute and Egyptian perfume gallery, where you’ll learn how ancient scents are still made today.
