Experience the unforgettable Cairo by plane from Sharm trip and explore Egypt’s most iconic landmarks — all in just one day! This fly-in tour saves you hours on the road and brings you face-to-face with wonders like the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum.


📍 Hotel Pickup & Flight to Cairo

Start your day bright and early at 4:30 AM with a convenient hotel pickup in Sharm El Sheikh. You’ll head straight to the airport and take a short 1-hour flight to Cairo. Upon landing, your professional Egyptologist guide will greet you and begin your incredible journey.


🏛️ Explore Egypt’s Ancient Treasures

Your first stop is one of Egypt’s most important museums. The standard tour includes a visit to the famous Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, home to thousands of ancient artifacts and priceless treasures from Egypt’s Pharaonic, Greek, and Roman periods.

For an even more impressive experience, you can upgrade your visit to the spectacular Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) for an additional £35 per person. Located near the Pyramids of Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum is the largest archaeological museum in the world and features stunning modern galleries, the complete Tutankhamun collection, and breathtaking views of the pyramids.

Whichever option you choose, your expert Egyptologist guide will bring Egypt’s fascinating history to life through stories, artifacts, and unforgettable discoveries.


🌊 Lunch by the Nile River + Optional Felucca Ride

After your museum visit, enjoy a delicious lunch at a Nile-side restaurant. While you dine, take in the views of Egypt’s most famous river.
Optionally, you can take a short felucca boat ride (for a small extra charge) — a peaceful way to see Cairo from the water.

Next, head to the famous Giza Plateau. Stand in awe before the Great Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Don’t miss your chance to snap photos beside the mysterious Sphinx and walk among timeless monuments.

You may also enter one of the pyramids for an additional ticket, giving you a deeper view into Egypt’s royal tombs.


🛍️ Shopping & Cultural Crafts

Continue your tour with a stop at the Papyrus Institute, where you’ll learn how ancient Egyptians made the first form of paper. Then, visit a traditional perfume shop, where artisans create natural scents using age-old techniques.
