Today, we will first visit the Giza Plateau, home to the iconic Pyramid of Khufu (also known as the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the last remaining wonders of the Ancient World), the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. As you continue down, you will come across the majestic Great Sphinx, guarding the pyramids faithfully since centuries. We plan enough time for the visit, so you are able to enter the Great Pyramid, see the solar boat, learn more about the surrounding mastaba tombs, take pictures from panoramic viewpoints, or even go on a camel ride around the complex. After lunch, we will head to Saqqara Necropolis home to one of the oldest complete stone-built pyramids, the Step Pyramid of Djoser, various mastabas and the Imhotep Museum. In the evening we invite for a culinary experience: you will have the opportunity to try authentic Egyptian food.

We will visit the Ben Ezra Synagogue, the Hanging Church as well as important mosques, such as the Amr Ibn Al-As Mosque.

Today we fly to Hurghada, one of the most popular beach resort towns on the Red Sea. Some of Egypt’s best resorts lie along its coastline. An EgyGo representative will meet and greet you at the airport and help you to your hotel. With its clear, calm, and blue-green waters, Hurghada is the perfect destination for beach lovers and scuba divers. It is especially appealing to those with little experience of scuba diving. There are a variety of day trips available as well, such as a boat excursion to Giftun islan — a whole day boat trip with lots of swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing on the white sands of the island.

Note: We also offer trips to Marsa Alam, with its powdery sands that blend seamlessly into the turquoise blue of the sea. It is home to largely untouched beaches, pristine waters, and amazing marine fauna and flora. An ideal location to celebrate a honeymoon or romantic getaway!
