Description
Visit Egypt's capital on this budget-friendly Cairo day trip by bus from Sharm El Sheikh, with the Egyptian Museum, the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. It is ideal for seeing Cairo's highlights.
We pick you up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh at about 23:00 and travel overnight in an air-conditioned bus. The drive takes about 6 hours each way, and the daily trip takes about 18 hours.
The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square is Cairo's historic museum of the pharaohs. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing.
Start with a guided tour of the Egyptian Museum, where your Egyptologist guide tells you the stories of the pharaohs' treasures. Then walk around the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx on the Giza Plateau, with time for photos. Lunch is at a local restaurant, followed by shopping time in Cairo.
This trip has one option with hotel transfers, the bus, the guide, lunch and entrance fees to all sites in the program. Entry inside the Great Pyramid and a Nile boat trip are optional and cost extra.
Good to know: you need a valid passport and a full Egyptian visa, as the free Sinai-only stamp is not enough. Wear comfortable shoes, a hat and sunscreen, and bring snacks and water. Your exact pickup time is confirmed on WhatsApp or Telegram after booking.
