What to expect

Dive into the hidden depths of Cairo with this exclusive full-day tour, flown in from Sharm El Sheikh. This private experience is tailored for those seeking undiscovered treasures, archaeology, and superior comfort off the beaten track. Your adventure kicks off with a private transfer to Sharm Airport for a direct flight to Cairo. Upon arrival, your personal Egyptologist guide will escort you to Saqqara, one of Egypt’s most significant yet under-explored archaeological sites.

Discover the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the world's inaugural monumental stone structure, followed by the Pyramids of Kings Teti and Unas. Venture inside the Unas Pyramid, uniquely adorned with the original Pyramid Texts. These ancient spells and carved reliefs encircle the king's sarcophagus, offering a fascinating glimpse into history. Next, visit the lavishly decorated Nobles’ Tombs, such as Kagemni and Ptahhotep. These tombs are celebrated for their intricate depictions of everyday life. Continue your exploration at the enigmatic Serapeum of Saqqara. This subterranean complex houses the colossal granite sarcophagi of the sacred Apis bulls, a site that continues to captivate historians and visitors alike.

Afterwards, savour lunch at a local eatery before wrapping up your journey at the Grand Egyptian Museum, Egypt’s latest cultural icon. Wander through its cutting-edge galleries, towering statues, and the complete treasures of Tutankhamun, exhibited together for the first time ever.
