Cairo · Day programme

Pyramids & the GEM

A day at Giza: the pyramids and the Sphinx in the morning, then the treasures of ancient Egypt, including Tutankhamun, at the Grand Egyptian Museum.

The experience

The Pyramids & the Grand Egyptian Museum

The pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum sit almost side by side, which makes them a natural pair. Start on the plateau with the pyramids, the panoramic viewpoint and the Sphinx, then pause for lunch.

The afternoon belongs to the museum, with its monumental galleries and the Tutankhamun collection. Museum tickets are timed, so we arrange them in advance.
