Entrance fees to the Egyptian Museum, the Pyramids and Sphinx
I think that going to Cairo is a must - the pyramids and sphinx really are incredibly impressive. However, I think there are a few things that could be improved. The day is incredibly long - while that can’t really be changed, it should be advertised as a 24hour trip. Lunch, which is included, is not very nice - perhaps a different venue should be explored. Some of the best artefacts have been moved from the museum - so hopefully the museum you visit will change in future.
Get ready for a day packed with ancient wonders on this history-drenched full-day guided tour. You’ll visit some of Egypt’s most iconic landmarks, including the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the treasure-filled Egyptian Museum.
After an early start, you’ll arrive in Giza, home to one of Egypt’s seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites. With your expert local guide, you’ll learn about the Great Pyramid of Giza, built for the Pharaoh Cheops, followed by the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. Then, stop by the Great Sphinx, carved directly from the bedrock and sitting proudly on the Giza Plateau.
After a tasty lunch, you’ll head into central Cairo to visit the world-renowned Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. Its exceptional treasures include the mummies and the gilded mask of Yuya and Thuya - found in the Valley of the Kings and remarkable for their extraordinary preservation and lifelike features. The museum is home to the largest collection of pharaonic artefacts. It’s absolutely packed with ancient treasures – think glittering jewellery, ancient mummies, and statues that have stood the test of time. You’ll have plenty of time to wander around and soak it all in.
