Tour Details

Ancient Wonders in Cairo, Red Sea Days in Sharm El Sheikh

  • The 7-Day Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh Private Tour Package covers three nights of ancient Egypt in Cairo and three nights of Red Sea downtime in Sharm El Sheikh, built for travelers who want both substance and rest in one trip. Every day runs on your schedule, with a guide and vehicle assigned to your group only.
  • In Cairo, you'll stand at the Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx, walk through the Egyptian Museum's collection of Tutankhamun's treasures, and continue to the Step Pyramid at Saqqara and the ruins of Memphis, once the capital of ancient Egypt. A second day in the capital covers the Citadel of Saladin, the Alabaster Mosque, Old Cairo's Coptic churches, and the stalls of Khan El Khalili. Your Egyptologist guide explains each site in context, adjusting the pace so you're not rushed between stops or waiting on travelers you didn't choose to share a bus with.
  • From Cairo, a short domestic flight brings you to Sharm El Sheikh, where the days shift from history to the Red Sea: a quad bike ride through the Sinai desert, then a boat trip to Ras Mohammed National Park to snorkel its coral reefs. Private transport connects every stop along the way, right through to your final transfer back to Cairo for departure.
