Embark on an extraordinary journey from Hurghada to Cairo, exploring Egypt’s most iconic wonders by land. Your adventure starts with a complimentary hotel pickup at midnight, followed by a scenic overnight drive to Cairo. A brief stop at a roadside rest house allows for refreshments and relaxation before you continue your journey. Upon arrival in Cairo, you'll step into the annals of history as you explore the awe-inspiring Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx. These ancient wonders have withstood the test of time, standing as silent witnesses to a bygone era.

Following a flavourful lunch at a local eatery, prepare for the highlight of your journey—the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). This modern architectural masterpiece, nestled just outside the Giza Plateau, is designed to showcase Egypt’s unparalleled heritage. As you enter the museum, you'll embark on an eternal journey through the reigns of Egyptian kings. Ascend the Grand Staircase, surrounded by a meticulously curated collection of 64 monumental treasures from Egypt's illustrious past. Each work of art on display contributes to the intricate puzzle that was once ancient Egypt’s fascinating civilization.

After a day filled with enrichments, relax on your return journey to Hurghada, carrying with you unforgettable memories of Egypt’s past and present.

Loved the whole experience apart from the hotel where we stopped for lunch the food was very basic and not very hot and very limited choice and felt rushed as the queue was quite long as there was obviously hotel guests eating there to. Would have been better if we had a separate room in which to eat

Did not like rude people on coach. I did think at one time a fight would break up with people squabbling for front seats. Guide sorted situation out but uncomfortable for others on coach. Guide was exceptional and took care of group and squeezed so much into day,museum pyramids camel ride and trip on Nile. Long trip of 24 hours! But worth it

Ni skulle kunna bli tydligare på hemsidan att resan tar över 20 h...inte 18. Vi var inte tillbaka förrän efter 22 h trots att det egentligen inte var några särskilda förseningar ellee dylikt

Hela resan tar totalt 24 timmar - så hade aldrig gjort om det igen. 7-8 timmar bussresa till Kairo, sedan tillbaka igen plus flera timmar på bussen mellan varje upplevelse. Men man får se och uppleva mycket under dagen så väldigt bra valuta för pengarna, Guiden pratar för länge om en del saker på museet, så man hinner inte se mycket. Hade hellre gått själv utan guide.

Kokonaisuus oli todella hyvä. Olen kaikkeen erittäin tyytyväinen.

Uiteraard mooie bezienswaardigheden. Wel teveel tijdsverlies tijdens de dag, niet alleen bij het ophalen van mensen aan de verschillende hotels en lang wachten op een parking op andere deelnemers, maar ook ter plaatse met het wachten op de rest van de groep. Zo hebben we ons tussen het bezoek aan de piramides en de lunch een uur moeten bezig houden met de papyrus galerij, thee drinken en wachten. Konden beter dat uur extra in het museum doorgebracht hebben. Wel lekkere lunch en goede bus.
