Itinerary

Start/End: Cairo International Airport (CAI)

Duration: Approx. 10 Hours

Type: Private Guided Tour

Turn your Cairo layover into an unforgettable journey through time. Designed specifically for travelers with a limited window, this seamless door-to-door excursion covers Egypt’s most iconic landmarks without the stress of navigating Cairo’s famous traffic on your own.

Airport Pickup: Your private Egyptologist guide and driver will meet you at the arrival hall (holding a sign with your name) immediately after you clear customs.

Giza Plateau (2.5 Hours): Head straight to the Great Pyramids of Giza. You’ll explore the exterior of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. Your guide will take you to the "Panorama Point" for the best photos of all three pyramids together.

The Great Sphinx & Valley Temple: Descend to the plateau's foot to stand face-to-face with the Sphinx. Visit the Valley Temple, where the mummification process of King Khafre once took place.

Authentic Egyptian Lunch: Enjoy a traditional lunch at a local restaurant.

The Egyptian Museum (2 Hours): Drive to Tahrir Square to witness the world’s largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities. View the glittering treasures of Tutankhamun, including his iconic solid gold death mask.

Airport Return: We’ll transfer you back to the airport with plenty of time to catch your departing flight (typically arriving 3 hours before takeoff for international flights).
