Full Itinerary

Everything in one day

The day starts early — hotel pickup at 5:30am, flight from Sharm International at 6:30am. By 8:00am you're stepping out at Cairo International with a certified Egyptologist guide waiting. You'll reach the Pyramids before the crowds, see the Great Sphinx up close, and have 2 hours at the Egyptian Museum — including Tutankhamun's golden mask.

After lunch at a local restaurant (included), the afternoon takes you to Khan el-Khalili — Cairo's 14th-century bazaar, where spices, gold, and centuries of history fill every alley. You're back in Sharm by 9:00–10:00pm, exhausted in the best possible way.
