Description

Why spend the day on the road when you can fly? From Soma Bay, this excursion takes you by plane to Cairo for the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx, with your return the same day. It operates daily and lasts around 16 hours.

It starts with a ride from your Soma Bay hotel to Hurghada International Airport, about 45 km away. When you land in Cairo after the domestic flight, an Egyptologist and a private car with air conditioning are ready for you.

Giza is the first highlight. The pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure are the only ancient wonder that still survives, and the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple stand close by.

Lunch is in a local Egyptian restaurant. Then the Grand Egyptian Museum reveals the riches of the pharaohs. Few museums in the world are larger, and this one is devoted to just one civilization.

Your flights, airport transfers, lunch, bottled water, taxes and service charges are covered, plus entry to the GEM and the Pyramids area. Not covered: a ticket into the Great Pyramid, drinks at lunch, photos and videos, tips and personal spending.

Practical tips: airlines ask for a valid passport or another accepted ID. Flight times are set by the airline, and the program can shift with flight schedules or traffic. After the flight back at the end of the day, your driver returns you to your Soma Bay hotel.

Expect your pickup time on WhatsApp or Telegram after booking.
