Overview

A cheap option to take a group to the Cairo sites from El Gouna is by taking a day trip there by bus. In reality, you will go to the Egyptian Museum and be amazed by the artifacts that were discovered in Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Luxor in Valley of the Kings. You will have some free time to investigate the Amarna Era artifacts owned by Akhenaten and Nefertiti in the meantime. Additionally, the sculpture is from ancient Egypt, particularly the statues of Chephren, Cheops, Hatshepsut, and Menkaure.

You will be given the option to take a brief Nile Cruise in the River Nile to see Cairo from the water (at an additional cost). Later, you will eat lunch at a nearby restaurant before going to the Giza Pyramids. You can see many things at the Giza Pyramids, including the three main pyramids for Cheops, Chephren, and Menkaure. Actually, if you’d like to visit the Queen Pyramids, you can enter the Cheops Pyramid. You will pass the tombs of the Pyramid builders on your trip, and you can take a camel ride while taking in the view.

Your journey will culminate at the Giza Pyramids, home of the Great Sphinx and the Mummification Temple. Before you leave the area to go shopping close to the Sphinx, make sure you visit the Dream Stele.
