Cairo Day Trip from Sharm El Sheikh by Air - Experience the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Egyptian National Museum and more.
The sequence:
Our driver will pick you up from the hotel early in the morning and you will be taken to Sharm El Sheikh International Airport. You take a plane to Cairo, where our guide will be waiting for you.
Giza pyramids, Cheops, Chephren, Mykerinus
First we will take you to Giza where you will visit the most famous of all Egyptian monuments: the great pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. And the mysterious sphinx.
The Giza pyramids and others are said to house the remains of the late pharaohs who ruled ancient Egypt. Part of the pharaoh's spirit, called his Ka, was believed to remain with his body.
Proper care of the remains was necessary so that the "former Pharaoh could fulfill his new duties as King of the Dead". Theoretically, the pyramid not only served as a burial place for the pharaoh, but also as a storage place for the various objects that he would need in the hereafter.
The museum
We will continue our tour with a visit to the Egyptian Museum in the heart of Cairo, which contains a huge collection of artifacts, jewelry, statues, sarcophagi, mummies and much more. Discover the treasures of Pharaonic Egypt and immerse yourself in the history of a fascinating civilization!
Before we leave the capital city of Egypt and the largest city in the Arab region, we take you to the Perfume and Papyrus Museum, where you will learn the way to make papyrus and some secrets from the magical world of perfumes.
After taking the flight back to Sharm, you will be back in your hotel in the evening.
