All inclusive Day Tour To Cairo From Sharm El Sheikh By Flight

The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, known commonly as the Egyptian Museum or Museum of Cairo, in Cairo, Egypt, is home to an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities. It has 120,000 items, with a representative amount on display, the remainder in storerooms.

The last remaining wonder of the ancient world; for nearly 4000 years, the extraordinary shape, impeccable geometry and sheer bulk of the Giza Pyramids have invited the obvious questions: ‘How were we built, and why?’. Centuries of research have given us parts of the answer. Built as massive tombs on the orders of the pharaohs, they were constructed by teams of workers tens-of-thousands strong. Today they stand as an awe-inspiring tribute to the might, organisation and achievements of ancient Egypt. Entry to the Pyramids of Giza Plateau is included. Entry inside pyramids has an extra cost.

Known in Arabic as Abu Al Hol (Father of Terror), this sculpture of a man with the haunches of a lion was dubbed the Sphinx by the ancient Greeks because it resembled their mythical winged monster who set riddles and killed anyone unable to answer them. A geological survey has shown that it was most likely carved from the bedrock at the bottom of the causeway during Khafre’s reign, so it probably portrays his features.

Step inside one of the Queen’s Pyramids and uncover the engineering secrets of ancient Egypt. Although it was looted long ago, much of its original limestone remains—creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a true archaeological adventure.

Enjoy a relaxing 30-minute felucca ride on the majestic Nile River, the lifeline of Egypt for thousands of years. To the ancient Egyptians, the Nile was not just a river—it was a sacred source of life and prosperity, closely associated with the god Hapi, the deity of the annual flood and abundance. As you gently sail with the breeze, take in the stunning views of Cairo and Giza’s skyline, watch traditional boats and elegant river cruises glide by, and experience one of the most peaceful and authentic moments of your journey in Egypt.
