The Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo holds more than 100,000 artifacts, including the famous golden coffin of Tutankhamun. This day trip from Sharm el Sheikh begins with a hotel pickup in the morning and a journey by air-conditioned coach to Cairo along the Gulf of Suez. Upon arrival, an Egyptologist guide joins the group for the day. The first major stop is a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum or, alternatively, the older Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, depending on the booking choice. Visitors spend about two hours exploring the selected museum’s extensive collections. Afterward, the group takes a lunch break. The afternoon is dedicated to exploring the Pyramids of Giza, where the Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus pyramids stand. Guests can walk around the site or choose to see it on horseback or camel. This part of the tour lasts roughly two to three hours. Following the pyramids, the tour continues to the nearby Great Sphinx, which features a human head on a lion’s body carved from limestone used for the Great Pyramid. The stop at the Sphinx lasts about 20 to 30 minutes. If time allows, the tour ends with visits to a papyrus museum and an essential oil factory in Cairo, showcasing traditional Egyptian crafts. After these stops, the group returns to Sharm el Sheikh by coach. The tour includes entrance fees to the visited sites if that option is selected, lunch, and air-conditioned transportation. Optional extras like a Nile boat trip or camel rides at the pyramids are not included.
