Giza Pyramids & Egyptian Museum: Guided Day Tour from Sharm El-Sheikh + Lunch
About this experience
Start your trip to Cairo with a midnight departure from Sharm El-Sheikh. After an 8-10 hour drive, arrive at the Egyptian National Museum, which houses over 160,000 artifacts. Visit the Pyramids of Giza—Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. See the Sphinx near the pyramids.
Learn about papyrus making at the Papyrus Institute. Shop for souvenirs at the oil refinery. For an optional $10, take a boat ride on the Nile River. The boat ride offers a unique view of Cairo from the water. Have a buffet lunch featuring Egyptian dishes.
Leave Cairo between late afternoon and early evening, arriving back at your hotel around 1:00. Activities may change based on the needs of the day but will focus on Cairo's main sights.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
