Day trip to Cairo by bus from Hurghada.

What better way to experience CAIRO than a drive in an airconditioned bus travelling through the desert and witnessing EGYPT in its fullness.

Your first stop will be at The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities known commonly as the Egyptian Museum or Museum of Cairo. It is considered to be the largest museum in the whole world, dating back to 1825 when the ruler of Egypt Mohamed Ali Pasha issued a decree to establish a museum for the antiquities of Egypt. There are over 100,000 pieces held here. Here you will find The Golden Mask of Tutankhamun – an amazing spectacle.

You can enter the Mummy room for an extra cost – this is really worth a visit.

Optional 1: Take a motorboat down the Nile and capture all the wonderful sights that Cairo has to offer – 15 GBP.

Lunch is served as an open buffet (soft drinks not included). After lunch we take you to a Papyrus shop to watch how this paper was made and used in ancient times.

We then move to the 5000 year old necropolis in Giza – Home of the Great Pyramids and The Sphinx. This site is not only the most popular attraction in Egypt, it is one of the most loved destinations in the world.

The Grand Pyramid of Khufu is by far the most famous Pyramid in Egypt – the biggest, tallest and most intact. For a period of 4300 years the Pyramid was also the tallest building on earth until the French built the Eiffel Tower in 1889. Entry into The Great Pyramid is extra.

We then move to witness The Great Sphinx – a limestone statue of a reclining Sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human.

After this we then take you to a perfume shop. The perfume is made from pure fragranced oils – longer lasting, alcohol free. You have time to shop or browse. We then start our journey back to Hurghada.
