The experience

About this tour

This trip is not just a transfer, it is a complete experience. You are picked up from your hotel in Sharm at about 1:00 am and travel in an air-conditioned bus, arriving in Cairo in the morning, with no time to rest: an archaeological guide who speaks your language takes you to the Pyramid of Khufu, the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing, then the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, and then the Sphinx, which is smaller than you imagine but leaves you standing in silence.

An entry ticket to go inside the pyramid itself is available if you wish. It costs extra and the number of tickets per day is limited.

Next is the Grand Egyptian Museum, which officially opened in November 2025 and is the largest archaeological museum in the world dedicated to a single civilisation. It holds more than 100,000 artefacts, and most importantly the complete Tutankhamun collection, more than 5,000 pieces, is displayed together for the first time since the discovery of the tomb. Khufu’s solar boat is also there. Museum tickets must be booked online from the museum’s website before you travel.

Lunch is served in the middle of the day, at a restaurant on the Nile or one with a view of the Pyramids. Some tours add an optional felucca ride on the Nile, which is one of the nicest parts.

Very important for foreign guests: a Sinai-only entry stamp does not allow you to enter Cairo. If you arrive from outside Sinai, you need a regular Egypt tourist visa, which you can buy at the airport on arrival or get online before you travel.
