Grand Egyptian Museum and Pyramids from Hurghada – from €90

This is the ultimate culture trip from Hurghada, pairing the most anticipated museum opening in the world with the only surviving wonder of the ancient world. In a single day you'll travel from the Red Sea coast to the edge of Cairo to walk through the New Grand Egyptian Museum and then stand in the shadow of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)

The Grand Egyptian Museum is the largest archaeological museum on the planet, purpose-built beside the Giza Plateau. Its vast galleries display thousands of artefacts spanning Egypt's entire history, and — for the first time ever — the complete collection of Tutankhamun's treasures shown together. The towering statue of Ramses II in the grand hall is a breathtaking welcome.

The Pyramids of Giza & the Sphinx

From the museum it's a short journey to the Giza Plateau, home to the Great Pyramid of Khufu and its companions, along with the enigmatic Great Sphinx. Your Egyptologist guide explains how these monuments were built over 4,500 years ago and shares the stories and mysteries that still surround them.

Expert Guiding and Easy Travel

Throughout the day you'll be accompanied by a knowledgeable Egyptologist who brings ancient Egypt to life. Comfortable air-conditioned transport, hotel pickup and drop-off, entrance fees, and lunch are all arranged for you, so you can focus on the experience rather than the logistics.

What to Know Before You Go

This is a long full day with several hours of driving each way, so a good night's sleep beforehand is recommended. Bring comfortable shoes, sun protection, your passport, and a camera. Going inside the Great Pyramid is possible with an extra ticket that your guide can arrange on the day.
