Day Trip to Cairo By Flight From Hurghada&GEM Grand Musuem

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. The pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx are among the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and indeed already were even in Roman times. Each of these spectacular structures served as the final resting place of a king of the 4th Dynasty (c.2613–2494 BC). The Great Pyramid of Giza was built for king Khufu (c.2589–2566 BC), and the other two for Khafre and Menkaure, his son and grandson. Khufu’s pyramid is both the oldest and largest of the three, and the first building to exceed it in height would not be built for another 3,800 years!

2. Located in the heart of Cairo, the Egyptian Museum is the Middle East’s oldest archaeological museum and one of Egypt’s most popular touristic destinations. The museum houses a vast collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities in its unique neo-classical building, spanning from the Predynastic period to the Greco-Roman period.

   2 hAdmission included

3. Colossal statues are one of the hallmarks of ancient Egyptian civilization, and the Great Sphinx of Giza is the most famous. It was carved directly out of the bedrock during the 4th Dynasty (c.2613–2494 BC), which also makes it the oldest. Ancient Egyptian sphinxes represented the king with the body of a lion, in a clear demonstration of his power.

• 3Trip to Cairo, pyramids, Grand Museum by plane fro Hurghada !

  Despite the tour was organised very well, it seems like we were on a hurry all the time, instead of spending time in the pyramids or museum we had to visit this scamming shops, and I mean total scam which the tour agent played a big role, so we had only 2 hours in pyramids because we had to go to the King Ali’s palace where they invented a beautiful story about the only family remaining in the Egypt who is holding a secret of how the ancient Egyptians made them, they mummified theirs dead and 4000 year later mummies still have an aroma , the family has some farm where they grow and harvest flowers by hand and then making an organic with no chemicals oils which should smell for weeks..Well they just cheap scammers , easily can scam you £300-500 , they just wouldn’t give you a second to think to be alone, they will board you with their hospitality and oils non stop, until you pay ! The tour agent, knows what is happening and probably has some percentage from the deal, so he scamming you to begin with, it’s a shame, because we had a guy Kongo for our tour and apart from this he was great ! Yes, they oils will smell the same with no different aroma, they are very good scammers! Then , instead of spend more time in a museum we had to visit another shop they sell papyrus , small £10 in Cairo, we went to Luxor the other day and they sell them for $1 !Well, there you go, probably I would not go to Egypt any more it’s a shame but that’s what they do, they make tourists not to comeback, so how would they build another Abu Dhabi I have no idea!

• 5Excellent Day Out

  Went on a day trip from Hungarda to Cairo by plane with Akram from Hungarda on line tours, private tour, with guide Reeham and a driver, we picked itinerary, pyramids, sphinx, paper museum, hanging church, synagogue and lunch was included. Reeham knowledge was unbelievable, driver brilliant in a busy city, picked us up at 5.00am until 9.30 pm. Cost was only 200euros each and we didn’t pay until the day of tour. Will definitely use Akram again

Offshore, the reefs and islands of the Red Sea teem with colourful fish and coral gardens, and dolphins are sometimes seen, making snorkelling and diving the main draws.
