2 Days Trip to Cairo from Soma Bay by Private Vehicle —

🌅 Day 1: From Soma Bay to Cairo — Meeting the Pharaohs Face-to-Face

 

The journey begins early — around 2:00 a.m., your private driver collects you from your Soma Bay hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. As the desert unfolds under the first light of dawn, the anticipation builds. After about six hours, the skyline of Cairo greets you — alive, busy, ancient, and modern all at once.

🏜️ The Pyramids of Giza & The Great Sphinx

Your first stop is the world’s most famous necropolis: The Pyramids of Giza, built by Cheops (Khufu), Chephren, and Mykerinus. Standing before these monumental structures, you can feel time itself pause. The Great Sphinx, with its enigmatic smile, still guards the secrets of the plateau, while nearby, the Valley Temple whispers stories of rituals that honored the Pharaohs’ journey to eternity.

Insider tip: The early morning sun casts a golden hue that’s perfect for photos — and the crowds are thinner, so you can soak in the silence of the desert before the midday rush.

🍴 Authentic Egyptian Lunch

Lunch awaits at a local restaurant overlooking the pyramids — fragrant grilled meats, fresh bread, tahini, and the aroma of cardamom coffee. This is a moment to rest and reflect before diving deeper into history.

🏛️ The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square

Next comes one of the most fascinating museums on Earth — The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, home to more than 250,000 artifacts spanning five millennia. The highlight is the dazzling treasure of Tutankhamun: golden masks, jeweled amulets, and the boy king’s world-famous sarcophagus.

If you’re curious to walk among Egypt’s royal mummies, you can request an optional visit to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (extra fee applies). There, the preserved kings and queens of ancient Egypt rest in remarkable condition, including the mighty Ramses II and Queen Hatshepsut.

Note: The Grand Egyptian Museum near the Pyramids is partially open for limited preview tours, but its full opening is expected by late 2024.

🌙 Optional Evening — Sound & Light Show at the Pyramids

As night falls, you may choose to experience the Sound & Light Show at Giza — a theatrical retelling of Egypt’s ancient history, narrated by the Sphinx itself. The illuminated pyramids under the night sky are unforgettable. (Optional, €40 per person.)

After a day steeped in wonder, check into your hotel in Giza for a restful overnight stay — perhaps from your window, you’ll still glimpse the shadowy outlines of the pyramids under the stars.


🕌 Day 2: Old Cairo — Faith, Culture & Living History

 

After breakfast, your private Egyptologist meets you for a new kind of exploration — not of kings, but of people and faith.

🏰 The Citadel of Saladin

Rising above Cairo on the Moqattam Hills, the Citadel of Saladin has guarded the city since the 12th century. Built as a fortress against Crusaders, it now offers panoramic views of Cairo’s endless sprawl. Within its walls stands the Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha, an Ottoman masterpiece in alabaster, whose elegant domes shimmer in the morning light.

⛪ Coptic Cairo — Where Faiths Converge

The journey continues to Coptic Cairo, one of the oldest Christian centers in the world. Wander through the Hanging Church, built above a Roman gate; visit the Ben Ezra Synagogue and the Church of St. Sergius (Abu Serga), believed to have sheltered the Holy Family during their flight into Egypt. Each site tells a story of resilience and coexistence.

🛍️ Khan el-Khalili Bazaar — The Soul of Cairo

No trip to Cairo is complete without a stroll through Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, a labyrinth of alleys lined with spices, silver, lamps, and laughter. Here you can sip mint tea, test your bargaining skills, or simply enjoy the rhythm of Cairo’s oldest market, unchanged for centuries.

A final lunch at a cozy local restaurant wraps up your Cairo experience before your private driver takes you back to Soma Bay — heart full, camera full, and mind still wandering through the corridors of time.
