Grand Egyptian Museum & Pyramids Day Trip by Plane
Short description
Flying to the capital gives you more of the day for sightseeing, and this Grand Egyptian Museum trip by plane from Hurghada makes the most of it. A driver collects you from your hotel and takes you to the airport for your domestic flight. In Cairo, your Egyptologist guide and a private air-conditioned vehicle are waiting. The trip runs daily and takes about 16 hours, ending with a flight back to Hurghada and a transfer to your hotel.
The day starts on the Giza Plateau, with the Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, followed by the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple. After lunch at a local Egyptian restaurant, you explore the Grand Egyptian Museum, one of the largest museums in the world devoted to a single civilisation, where the treasures of the pharaohs are on display. The nearby Giza Plateau and this museum together make a strong pairing for a single day.
Flights, airport transfers, lunch, bottled water and entrance tickets to the museum and the Giza Pyramids area are included. Entry inside the Great Pyramid, drinks with lunch and tips are extra. Flight times may change, so the programme can be adjusted.
