This Cairo and Giza Pyramids day trip from Marsa Alam travels by flight, giving visitors the chance to see the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx with an Egyptologist guide, then explore the Grand Egyptian Museum before returning to Marsa Alam the same day.
Pick-up from the hotel in Marsa Alam comes by air-conditioned vehicle, driving to Hurghada Airport for the flight to Cairo. An expert Egyptologist guide meets travelers to visit the Giza Plateau, home to the Great Pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, including the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Middle Pyramids of Chephren, the smallest Pyramid of Mykerinos, and the mysterious Sphinx. A visit to the Valley Temple facing the Sphinx follows, with lunch included en route. The tour continues to the Grand Egyptian Museum, also known as the Giza Museum, located about 2 kilometers from the Giza pyramid complex; the GEM Complex currently offers limited access to test site readiness ahead of its official opening, with admission restricted to the Main Galleries, Grand Hall, Grand Staircase, commercial area, and exterior gardens. Free time in Cairo follows, before a transfer to Cairo Airport for the flight back to Hurghada Airport and a direct transfer to the hotel in Marsa Alam. Lunch is included.
The best time is between October and April. The weather is cool and pleasant for visiting temples in Luxor and Aswan. Summer (June to August) can be very hot, with temperatures exceeding 40°C.
The drive takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours each way via the Desert Road, covering about 220 km (136 miles).
