Giza Pyramids & Egyptian Museum: Guided Day Tour from Sharm El-Sheikh + Lunch

Start your trip to Cairo with a midnight departure from Sharm El-Sheikh. After an 8-10 hour drive, arrive at the Egyptian National Museum, which houses over 160,000 artifacts. Visit the Pyramids of Giza—Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. See the Sphinx near the pyramids. Learn about papyrus making at the Papyrus Institute. Shop for souvenirs at the oil refinery. For an optional $10, take a boat ride on the Nile River. The boat ride offers a unique view of Cairo from the water. Have a buffet lunch featuring Egyptian dishes.
