DAY EXCURSION TO CAIRO BY PLANE

Overview

Fly to Cairo from Sharm el Sheikh and make the most of your time in this world-famous city. You'll visit Cairo's most famous sites including the Great Pyramids and Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum. Following your flight to Cairo, your Egyptologist guide will introduce you to the history of the pyramids. You will have time to enter one of the pyramids (additional cost), but your guide is not permitted to escort you. A short drive across the plateau finds you standing at the feet of the enigmatic Sphinx. Also in Giza you may visit the Solar Boat Museum (optional), home to the remarkably well preserved funerary boat of Khufu. Cairo's famous Egyptian Museum houses 165,000 Egyptian artifacts, but the priceless treasures of King Tutankhamun are the highlight. His six gilded coffins dominate the main hall, while his magnificent death mask is the star attraction. You will have the chance to visit a Papyrus Institute to see how the famous artwork is made before flying back to Sharm el Sheikh.including lunch at local resturant.
