Old Cairo Mosque, churches, and New Grand Museum by plane from Sharm

Experience Cairo from a fresh viewpoint with this exclusive full-day private tour. It's the ideal choice for first-time visitors and particularly enticing for those returning, looking for experiences beyond the standard tours. This adventure combines Cairo’s spiritual heritage with the splendour of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM).

Your day kicks off with an early pick-up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, followed by a private transfer to the local airport and a short flight to Cairo. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by your guide.

Begin in Old Cairo, where you'll explore the majestic Sultan Hassan Mosque, a gem of Mamluk architecture, and the neighbouring Al-Rifa’i Mosque. This 19th-century structure serves as the royal mausoleum of modern Egypt. Venture deeper into the heart of Old Cairo with visits to the Hanging Church and Abu Serga Church, some of the oldest and most respected churches globally. Following lunch at a local eatery, prepare for the day's highlight at the Grand Egyptian Museum, Egypt’s largest and most significant museum. With a prime location overlooking the Giza Pyramids Plateau, the GEM offers an unparalleled journey through ancient Egyptian civilisation. The experience peaks with the fully displayed treasures of Tutankhamun, presented in their entirety for the first time in history. State-of-the-art galleries, monumental statues, and immersive exhibitions make this visit a standout cultural experience.

Wrap up your day with a transfer to Cairo Airport.
