Experience three different sides of Cairo on a private Giza Pyramids, Saqqara, and Motor Boat Ride from Taba. This full-day Cairo excursion combines ancient monuments, archaeological discoveries, and a relaxing Nile experience.
Your journey begins with a private transfer from your hotel in Taba to Sharm El Sheikh Airport. From there, take a domestic flight to Cairo. On arrival, your local representative will meet you and connect you with your private English-speaking Egyptologist.
First, explore the legendary Giza Plateau. See the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and the Great Sphinx. You will also have an entrance ticket to the Pyramid of Khafre.
Next, continue to Saqqara, one of Egypt’s most important archaeological areas. Visit the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the Tombs of the Nobles, and the famous Serapeum.
After lunch, head to central Cairo for a relaxing 30-minute Nile boat ride. Enjoy views of the river and the city from the water. If your schedule allows, the ride can provide a beautiful setting around sunset.
Finally, return to Cairo Airport for your flight to Sharm El Sheikh. Your representative will then transfer you back to your hotel in Taba.
This tour is ideal for travelers who want to combine Giza pyramids, Saqqara, and a Nile boat ride from Taba in one organized private trip.
Giza and Saqqara offer two very different perspectives on ancient Egypt. Giza showcases the monumental pyramids of the 4th Dynasty. Saqqara takes you further back into the development of pyramid architecture.
The 30-minute boat ride gives you time to slow down after visiting the archaeological sites. It also offers a different view of Cairo from the river.
Traveling by domestic flight helps reduce the long road journey between Taba and Cairo. You can therefore dedicate more time to sightseeing.
Your group has a private vehicle and a dedicated Egyptologist. This makes the experience more flexible and personal.
Your guide explains the monuments in simple terms. You can also ask questions and focus on the sites that interest you most.
