Detailed itinerary

1

Start your unforgettable adventure in Sharm El Sheikh and set off on a journey toward the mesmerizing city of Cairo.

2

The Giza Pyramid Complex, or Giza Necropolis, crowns the Giza Plateau in Egypt and features the world-famous Great Pyramid alongside the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. This remarkable site, dating back to the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, also includes the majestic Great Sphinx, ancient burial grounds, and the remains of a village where workers who built the pyramids once lived.

3

The Great Sphinx of Giza is a monumental limestone statue featuring a reclining sphinx—a mythical creature with a lion’s body and a human head. Facing east, it majestically overlooks the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile River in Egypt.

Papyrus, an early precursor to modern books, first appeared in Egypt during the First Dynasty. Made from the papyrus plant that thrived along the Nile, it was essential for writing and record-keeping in ancient times.

Stop 5

The Cairo Tower is a contemporary icon of Egypt’s capital, famed for its unique lotus-inspired lattice design. Standing 187 meters tall in the lively Zamalek district, it serves as a telecommunications hub and provides panoramic views of the city.

Tahrir Square (Midan Al-Tahrir), one of Cairo’s most iconic and expansive public spaces, lies at the heart of the city. Originally named Khedive Ismail Square, it was renamed “Tahrir,” meaning “liberation,” following the 1952 revolution that ended the monarchy and established modern Egypt. Recognized for its historical significance, the square has undergone major redevelopment and has been a central gathering place for events such as the January 25 and June 30 revolutions.
