Tour Details

 



The museum displays a rare collection spanning 5,000 years of art, considered the largest and most valuable collection of Egyptian art in the world. More than 250,000 remarkable artifacts are exhibited, including a collection dedicated to the treasures, gold, and jewelry of Tutankhamun. These treasures remained sealed in his tomb for more than 3,500 years before being discovered during the excavation of his tomb in the 1920s.

Next, visit the Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque and the Citadel of Salah El Din. Continue to Old Cairo to explore the Hanging Church, the Church of Abu Serga, and the Synagogue. Return to your hotel.

Note: If you cannot take the tour on this day because of a late arrival, you can reschedule it for the last day before your departure.

(Optional) Enjoy an evening excursion featuring a two-hour dinner cruise on the Nile, including Egyptian folkloric shows.

Overnight in Cairo.

 



Next, visit the Great Sphinx, featuring the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion, dating back to the time of Chephren. The tour also includes a visit to the Valley Temple, which belongs to the Pyramid of Chephren.

Notes About the 3-Day Cairo Package

Hotel Ratings in Egypt:

Please note that hotel ratings in Egypt do not correspond to those in the USA or Europe. Therefore, we always recommend choosing our luxury or luxury-superior hotel options. Some 5-star hotels in Egypt may feel more like 3- or 4-star hotels. Naturally, we do not recommend 3-star or 4-star hotels, as we have received many complaints from our customers about them.

Top-Class Hotels:

To ensure that you enjoy high-quality accommodation during your trip, we have prepared a list of luxury and luxury-superior hotels for customers who are accustomed to staying in Western 5-star hotels. We recommend choosing only luxury or luxury-superior options during your stay in Egypt if you expect the standards of a 4- or 5-star hotel in the USA, EU, UK, and other Western countries.

Visa Service:

Avoid queues upon arrival and save time and effort with complicated procedures. Our representative will prepare your visa in advance. Simply send us a copy of your passport.

Note: Regardless of your nationality, if you hold a valid Schengen, US, or UK visa, we can offer a visa-on-arrival service. You do not need to apply in advance at the embassy.

Night Train Travel NOT RECOMMENDED:

We do not recommend this option, as you should expect to spend 15 to 18 hours on a very noisy train. The toilets are not well maintained and can smell unpleasant. The food is generally not good. The beds are moderately comfortable. One customer commented: “However, I am 1.90 m tall and barely fit in the bed; anyone taller would have to curl up.”

If you do not enjoy traveling by night train, we recommend taking a flight instead. Enjoy additional comfortable nights in a 5-star hotel. We recommend changing this transfer to a domestic flight. The additional cost for a one-way flight and one night in a 5-star hotel is $150 per person. Supplements apply during Christmas, New Year, and Easter. Contact us for prices.

Travel Insurance – Provided by AIG:

Protect your trip and enjoy greater peace of mind with the AIG Travel Guard insurance program. The cost is $25 per person for one week and $50 per person for more than one week.

Business Class Upgrades on Domestic Flights:

Special offer: For just $50 extra per person, you can enjoy all the premium facilities and amenities of Business Class, from additional legroom and spacious seats to delicious meals and high-quality entertainment.

Domestic Flights:

The itineraries show the average prices of domestic flights and approximate departure times. During peak seasons and for last-minute bookings, some flight tickets may become very expensive without prior notice, so additional charges may apply.

Requests for specific flight times or changes to existing bookings may affect the total package price. Some flights to Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada are connecting flights via Cairo Airport.

Payment Policy:

We accept all secure payment methods: Visa, MasterCard, and bank transfer.

Sightseeing and Prices:

The tour prices are quoted in USD, but you can also pay in euros or British pounds. Prices are per person and are updated regularly to ensure you receive the best available rate. Our tours are sometimes operated as semi-private or shared small-group tours. A fully private VIP tour can be arranged upon request.

Request a VIP TOUR WITH DR. ZAHI HAWASS, THE LEGENDARY ARCHAEOLOGIST:

With Ramasside, you can visit the Great Pyramids with the world's most famous archaeologist, Dr. Zahi Hawass.

The VIP tour with Dr. Zahi offers private access to the entire Giza Pyramids complex. You will stand between the legs of the Great Sphinx and enjoy exclusive access to areas that are closed to the general public!

Dr. Zahi Hawass: “No one can visit Egypt this way. Except you, when you visit me.” For more details, simply send us an inquiry, and we will provide you with all the information.

Child Policy:

0–1.99 years: Free of charge (except when flights are included)

2–5.99 years: Pay 25% of the tour price, or 50% if flights or a night train are included

6–11.99 years: Pay 50% of the tour price

12 years and above: Pay the full adult tour price

If your package includes a flight ticket, additional charges may apply for your children.

Additional Entrance Fees:

Not all tours include entrance fees for special archaeological sites or areas, such as entering one of the pyramids to explore its deep burial chambers, visiting the Mummy Room at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, or entering Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor. These experiences are also available for an additional fee.
