Cairo Over Two Days by Plane — Giza, Saqqara, Dahshur & the Citadel

Private tour

Deposit refunded in full up to 5 days before, half of it up to 48 hours before

Itinerary

2 days

  1. Collected at 04:00 for the morning flight, and in the Grand Egyptian Museum by 08:45 — opening time, ahead of the coach groups. Three hours there, lunch, then the whole Giza plateau: Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, the panorama, the Sphinx and the Valley Temple. Khan el-Khalili in the evening (dinner on your own), when the bazaar is at its best.

Important information

Private or group

This tour runs privately: only your own party travels, with your own guide and vehicle.

What to bring

  • Passport or ID copy
  • Comfortable walking shoes
  • Sunscreen and a hat
  • Camera

Know before you go

  • This is a private trip: the vehicle, the driver and the Egyptologist are for your party only, and your guide can adjust the order of the stops on the day.
  • Three main sights in a day, no more. A fourth turns the day into a march between car parks. Day one is the museum, the Giza plateau and Khan el-Khalili; day two is Saqqara with the Serapeum, Dahshur, and the Citadel.
  • Bring the passport or ID you booked with. Domestic security asks for the original, and the hotel needs it at check-in.
  • The hotel is not included: you choose your own in Cairo (3–5★) and tell us when you book, so we can collect you there on day two.
  • Flying saves roughly eight hours of vehicle time across the two days, which is what buys the Citadel on day two — the road version ends at Old Cairo to make the drive home.
