What to expect

Enjoy a 2-day stress-free trip to Cairo as everything will be organized for you. You'll discover the beauty, history and culture that fills the city and check out its many incredible monuments.

In the early morning, you will start your journey from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh with a drive towards Cairo crossing the Suez Canal through the tunnel. When you arrive at Giza, you'll be introduced to the last remaining wonder of the ancient world: the pyramids. You will see these colossal tombs and unearth their secrets before standing in awe beneath the Great Sphinx. Then it's time to rest your legs and tuck into a delicious set menu lunch at a local restaurant, followed by check-in at the hotel.

In the evening, you'll enjoy a fun evening of entertainment on the Nile with a dinner cruise. Board a cruise with a restaurant that also has traditional Egyptian music and dancing show. See a belly dancer, Tanoora show, whirling Dervishes with a live band and open buffet dinner.

On day two, check out from the hotel and drive towards Salah El-din Citadel, which is the icon of Cairo and was home to Egyptian rulers for some 700 years. Resume driving towards the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. The museum includes exceptional treasures, such as the mummies and the gilded mummy mask of Yuya and Thuya—among the most spectacular ever found. Then, enjoy a delicious lunch on board the floating restaurant. After lunch, it is possible to sail on a Nile felucca, subject to weather conditions.

What to remember

Extra fees to be paid on-site:

  • You'll gain access to the pyramids area, but the entrance fees to get inside the pyramids (Cheops, Mykerinos or Kefren) are not included. The tickets available are limited and must be purchased on site, so access is not guaranteed. The adult entrance fee for Cheops Pyramid is around 1500 EGP, and for Mykerinos or Kefren Pyramid is around 280 EGP. Children under 12 years get a 50% reduction
  • At the museum, personal cameras without flash are allowed for an additional fee of around EGP 50. Please note that this is subject to change without prior notice
  • Visa fees

Know in advance:

  • Update (valid starting 20 October 2025): The Hall of Tutankhamun at the Egyptian Museum (including the Golden Mask and Golden Sarcophagus) will be closed as the collection is being transferred to the new Grand Egyptian Museum.

  • The pickup time starts after midnight and the journey to Cairo takes approximately 7-8 hours
