Cairo by Plane

A transfer will pick you up at the hotel gates and take you to the airport. The flight to Cairo takes 1 hour. Upon arrival at the airport, your guide will meet you and accompany you to the bus.

The first stop will be the old National Museum in Tahrir Square. It houses the second-largest collection of artifacts from the ancient Egyptian era. A Russian-speaking historical guide will be with you at all times, sharing many interesting and educational facts about ancient Egypt and more.

Then you will be taken to lunch at a national cuisine restaurant on the banks of the Nile. After that, if you wish, you can take a boat ride on the Nile. If you don’t want to go, you can rest in the air-conditioned bus during this time.

The second stop will be a visit to the Giza plateau with the great pyramids and the Sphinx. Near the pyramids, you will be given 40 minutes of free time to walk and take photos.

The third stop is a visit to oil and papyrus shops, after which you will be taken back to the airport.
