➡️ Early Pickup & Flight to Cairo
Your Cairo by Flight adventure begins with a comfortable morning pickup from your Hurghada hotel. A short flight delivers you to Cairo feeling fresh and ready, maximizing your time at the bucket-list sites.
➡️ Egyptian Museum of Antiquities
Begin with the Egyptian Museum—home to more than a century of discoveries and 5,000 years of history. Your guide spotlights the must-see highlights, including artifacts from the tomb of King Tutankhamun. This is where the Cairo by Flight day truly sets the tone: intimate storytelling, curated objects, and the thrill of seeing world-famous treasures up close.
➡️ Giza Plateau: Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre & Menkaure
Nothing compares to your first look at the Great Pyramids. On the Giza Plateau, your guide explains construction theories, royal burials, and the engineering genius of ancient Egypt. Optional: enter the Great Pyramid (separate ticket on-site). This is the iconic moment of every Cairo by Flight itinerary—photos, panoramas, and the timeless desert skyline.
➡️ The Great Sphinx
Meet the enigmatic guardian of Giza—the Sphinx. Half-lion, half-human, and entirely legendary, the Sphinx has captivated travelers for centuries. Your guide unpacks myths, symbolism, and what scholars still debate. It’s a powerful highlight of the Cairo by Flight journey.
➡️ Lunch with a View
Refuel at a local restaurant. Expect a satisfying buffet—grilled meats, salads, rice dishes, and vegetarian options. With Cairo by Flight, the mid-day break is designed to keep the pace comfortable so the rest of your experience stays relaxed and enjoyable.
➡️ Khan El Khalili (Optional, Time-Permitting)
If time allows, stroll the historic bazaar: spices, perfumes, brass lamps, textiles, and handmade souvenirs. With your guide at your side, you’ll get tips on etiquette and fair pricing—another small advantage built into your Cairo by Flight day trip.
➡️ Return Flight & Hotel Drop-Off
Your Cairo by Flight experience wraps with an evening flight back to Hurghada and a smooth hotel transfer. You’ll return with stunning photos, vivid stories, and a deeper appreciation for Egypt’s ancient world.
