Tour Itinerary

Day One: Marsa Alam to Cairo - Exploring the Pyramids

Start your adventure with a morning transfer from your Marsa Alam hotel to Marsa Alam airport for your flight to Cairo.

The Great Pyramid

Standing tall for over 4,500 years, the Great Pyramid is a testament to Pharaoh Khufu’s legacy. It reaches a soaring height of 147 meters, constructed from 2.3 million limestone blocks, each with a magical architecture featuring chambers like the Queen’s chamber, the King’s chamber, the grand hall, and more.

The Great Sphinx

Guarding Giza, the Great Sphinx, constructed by Pharaoh Khafre, is a divine marvel carved from a single limestone block. It embodies his wisdom and power, with an exciting tale engraved in the Dream Steele of Thutmose IV, added in 1401 BC.

The Valley Temple

The Valley Temple played a crucial role in mummifying the royal families of the 4th dynasty, preparing them for their journey to the afterlife.
