A welcome drink is waiting for you at the hotel. In the evening, you can add on the Sound & Light Show at the Giza Pyramids, an optional way to see the monuments lit up after dark before your sightseeing begins the next morning.
After breakfast at your Cairo hotel, your private Egyptologist guide picks you up to begin your Cairo Sharm El Sheikh Classic Tour Package with a visit to the Giza Pyramids, starting with the Great Pyramid of Cheops. Built by an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 workers according to modern archaeological research, the pyramid remains one of Egypt's most remarkable ancient monuments.
From the Giza Plateau, you get a panoramic view of all three pyramids before continuing to the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple of Chephren, the best-preserved of the valley temples at Giza.
After lunch at a local restaurant, you'll head to Saqqara to see the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, then finish the day at Memphis, once the capital of ancient Egypt, before your driver returns you to the hotel. Overnight in Cairo.
Breakfast and lunch included.
Following breakfast at your hotel, your private guide takes you to the Egyptian Museum to see its collection of ancient antiquities, including the golden death mask of Tutankhamun. From there, you'll visit the Citadel of Saladin and the Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali, where the elevated position gives you a wide view over Islamic Cairo's minarets and domes.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.
Your morning is free to enjoy your hotel or the beach at your own pace. In the early afternoon, your private guide meets you for the short drive to the Quad Bike Centre, about 15 minutes from your hotel. After a safety briefing and driving instructions, you'll ride out into the Sinai desert for roughly an hour, taking in views that shift from rocky hills to open desert as you go.
Partway through, you'll stop at a high point for a break with traditional Bedouin herbal tea before riding back to the centre and returning to your hotel by private, air-conditioned vehicle. The rest of the evening is yours to spend as you like.
Overnight in Sharm El Sheikh.
After breakfast at your hotel, you'll head to the sea dock for a boat trip out to Ras Mohammed National Park, a protected stretch of the Red Sea known for over 130 species of coral and around 1,000 species of fish.
The boat stops at three separate points along the way, giving you time to swim and snorkel in different sections of the reef. Lunch is served on board between stops, so the day runs without a break in the water time.
Once the boat returns to shore, you're driven back to your hotel for your final evening in Sharm El Sheikh. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.
Your final morning starts with breakfast at your Sharm El Sheikh hotel before checking out. An Aten Tours representative transfers you to Sharm El Sheikh Airport for your domestic flight back to Cairo, where you'll connect to your international departure.
This brings your 7 Day Classic Egypt Tour Cairo Sharm El Sheikh to an end, with your private guide and driver handling every transfer between Cairo's ancient sites and the Red Sea coast.
