Cairo Day Trip by Plane – VIP Experience from Sharm El Sheikh

Looking for the ultimate Cairo day trip from Sharm by plane? This VIP full-day tour takes you on a remarkable journey through time to explore Egypt’s greatest ancient treasures – all in one day.

✈️ Start Your Cairo Adventure in Style

Your day begins early with a private transfer from your hotel around 5:00 AM. From there, you’ll head to Sharm El Sheikh Airport and take a short domestic flight to Cairo. Upon arrival, you’ll meet your personal Egyptologist tour guide who will accompany you throughout the day.

🏛️ Explore the Egyptian Museum and Ancient History

Your first stop will be the Egyptian Museum, a world-famous institution that holds over 120,000 ancient artifacts, including the golden treasures of King Tutankhamun, mummies, and statues from different Egyptian eras. You’ll enjoy a guided tour followed by some free time to explore.

For a more extensive museum experience, you can upgrade your visit to the magnificent Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) for an additional £35 per person. Located near the Pyramids of Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum showcases state-of-the-art exhibitions, the complete Tutankhamun collection, and some of the most important archaeological discoveries ever made in Egypt.

Your Egyptologist guide will accompany you throughout the visit, sharing fascinating stories and insights into one of the world’s greatest civilizations.

🌊 Lunch by the Nile and Optional Felucca Ride

Enjoy lunch at a local Nile-side restaurant. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can take an optional felucca ride—a traditional wooden sailboat—for a scenic hour on the river.

🏜️ Visit the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx

The tour continues in Giza, where you’ll see the awe-inspiring Pyramids and the Sphinx—two of Egypt’s most iconic landmarks. You’ll have time to explore the plateau, take photos, and even enter one of the pyramids (optional, extra ticket required).

🎁 Cultural Stops Before Returning to Sharm

Before heading back to the airport, stop at the Papyrus Institute and a traditional perfume shop where you can see authentic Egyptian crafts and purchase souvenirs.

You’ll then return by plane and be transferred back to your hotel in Sharm.
