Discover Cairo's timeless treasures on a day trip from Hurghada. After pick-up from your hotel at midnight, you'll enjoy a comfortable overnight drive across Egypt's desert landscape, with a brief rest stop along the way to Cairo - a city where history and legend intertwine. Upon arrival, stand in awe before the majestic Giza Pyramids and the enigmatic Great Sphinx, these enduring sentinels of the ancient world have been inspiring wonder for over 4,500 years.

Relish a traditional Egyptian meal at a local eatery before proceeding to the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) - an awe-inspiring architectural gem that overlooks the Giza Plateau. Step inside the world's most extensive archaeological museum, where history is brought to life through innovative design and immersive storytelling. Ascend the monumental Grand Staircase, lined by 64 colossal artefacts spanning Egypt's dynastic periods.

The highlight of your visit is the unparalleled Tutankhamun Gallery, home to over 5,000 exquisite treasures from the boy king's tomb - exhibited together for the first time since their unearthing. Each piece reveals a chapter of ancient Egyptian grandeur, from golden masks to jewelled symbols of eternity. As evening falls, unwind on your return trip to Hurghada, your heart brimming with the enduring spirit of Egypt's past and its splendid resurgence through the GEM.
