Tour 1 – Gizeh & Egyptian National Museum
Available every day – 1 person: € 250, 2/3 persons: € 175
This tour will first take you to Giza, situated on the outskirts of Cairo, an archaeological and historical marvel that has captivated the world for centuries. At its heart lies the iconic Giza Plateau, home to the towering Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure.
After visiting the pyramids, the National Museum of Egypt is also a must-see. It houses an extensive collection of artifacts that chronicle Egypt’s rich heritage, safeguarding treasures such as those of Tutankhamun, ancient mummies, intricate jewelry, and countless relics from Pharaonic Egypt, offering visitors a profound glimpse into the nation’s captivating history.
Tour 2 – Cairo: Garbage City, City of Dead & Bend, Red & Djoser Pyramids
Available every day – 1 person: € 250, 2/3 persons: € 175
You will begin your day in the City of the Dead, an ancient necropolis comprising an Arabic cemetery where tens of thousands of people live within mausoleums and tombs. Next, you’ll head to another neighborhood in Cairo, Manshiyat Nasser, also known as Garbage City. Inefficient rubbish collection has forced the inhabitants to live amongst waste, offering a truly eye-opening glimpse into a different side of our planet.
In the afternoon, you’ll explore some of the lesser-known pyramids. The first one is the Bent Pyramid, which almost collapsed due to a design mistake. The second pyramid you’ll visit is the Red Pyramid, where you can expect zero tourists, in stark contrast to the more famous pyramids. Finally, you’ll explore the Pyramid of Djoser, considered the world’s oldest intact pyramid.
Tour 3 – White Desert (2 day trip)
Available every day – 1 person: € 325 , 2/3 persons: € 250
Day 1: You begin the desert expedition, making your way to the White Desert in our 4x4s. The scenery here is unparalleled, with white chalk rock formations rising from the sand, shaped by erosion from wind and sand.
After enjoying a local lunch in a small village near Bahariya, you will first traverse the Black Desert before exploring Crystal Mountain. You’ll arrive at the White Desert in time for a stunning sunset.
As the evening darkens, you will choose your own Bedouin encampment. Together, we will feast under the starry sky of Egypt. An unforgettable night awaits you in the Bedouin camp.
Day 2: You wake up in the middle of the desert and enjoy breakfast while taking in the surrounding scenery. Then, you’ll begin exploring the impressive chalk formations of the White Desert, with plenty of opportunities for walking and taking photos.
In the afternoon, you will return to Cairo, stopping for lunch at the Oasis of Bahariya. You will be dropped off at your hotel once again.
