ITINERARY DETAILS

DAY 1

Welcome to Cairo


Step into the vibrant energy of Cairo as you arrive at the bustling airport where a warm welcome and private transfer await. Check into your comfortable hotel and let the city's pulse slowly unfold around you. The rest of the day is yours to savor. Perhaps enjoy a leisurely stroll or relax in a local café. If you feel inspired to explore or dive deeper, your Travelive expert is ready to tailor an experience just for you!

DAY 2

The Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum


Stand in awe before the timeless giants of Giza, the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx, silent sentinels guarding secrets of millennia. Feel the ancient whispers in the air as you gaze at the perfectly aligned pyramids and the majestic Great Pyramid of Cheops, a wonder that defies time. Then step into the Grand Egyptian Museum, a treasure trove where colossal statues and golden relics shimmer telling stories of pharaohs and gods. Early access means you will explore these marvels before the crowds awaken.

DAY 3

Islamic Cairo and Khan El Khalili by Night


Walk through centuries of faith and artistry in Islamic Cairo. Visit the imposing Al-Rifa'i and Sultan Hassan mosques where intricate minarets pierce the sky, and history breathes in every arch. Wander the peaceful courtyards of Ibn Tulun Mosque and explore the charming Gayer-Anderson Museum, a portal to Ottoman-era elegance. As dusk falls, lose yourself in the labyrinthine alleys of Khan El Khalili Bazaar where lantern light flickers on ancient walls and the scents of spices and oud weave a magical spell.

DAY 4

Fayoum Desert Adventure


Escape the city and venture into the Fayoum Desert's stunning landscapes. Hear the soft rush of waterfalls at Wadi El Rayan, glide gently across the water on a traditional felucca and gaze upon ancient whale fossils at Wadi El Hitan, a silent testament to the earth's evolving story. After a fresh lakeside lunch, feel your heartbeat quicken as your jeep across golden dunes and glide down sandy slopes on a board. Discover the art of Tunis Village pottery before returning to the city's embrace. As night drapes over the city, the old streets of Khan El Khalili come alive with flickering lanterns and lively chatter. Let the aroma of spices guide you to a memorable dinner where stories and flavors entwine in the glow of a timeless city.

DAY 5

From Cairo to Sharm El Sheikh - Desert Culture and Starry Skies


Fly or drive to the sun-soaked shores of Sharm El Sheikh. Your resort is a peaceful haven by the Red Sea but as evening falls the desert calls. Mount a camel to traverse golden dunes, sip fragrant Habbak tea as the sun melts into the horizon and learn the ancient art of Bedouin bread baking. Under a canopy of stars feast on a buffet while vibrant dances light up the desert night. Fire, belly and swirling Tannoura spinning tales of tradition and joy.

DAY 6

Red Sea Leisure and Snorkeling Adventure


Set sail on a shimmering sea bound for Ras Mohamed National Park, a paradise beneath the waves. Dive into crystal-clear waters exploring coral gardens teeming with colorful marine life at two guided snorkeling spots. A third stop at Ras Um El Sid offers another world to discover. When you are not underwater, lounge on the sunlit deck with panoramic sea views and enjoy a fresh buffet lunch. The evening is yours to unwind by the tranquil shore. For more adventures, your Travelive expert is on hand.

DAY 7

Desert Meets Sea in Dahab


Journey off the beaten path to Dahab, a laid-back coastal gem where the desert meets the sea. Traverse the rugged Sinai desert in a 4x4 passing dramatic wadis then plunge into the legendary Blue Hole's sparkling waters. Savor a beachside lunch, ride camels along the sun-kissed shore and wander through Dahab's colorful streets and shops. This day blends thrilling nature and warm local culture. If you crave more exploration, your Travelive expert will happily guide your next step.

DAY 8

Return to Cairo


Bid farewell to the Red Sea as you fly back to Cairo. Check into your hotel for one last night amid the city's vibrant rhythm. Spend your evening however you wish, perhaps a gentle walk along the Nile or a final taste of local cuisine. If you want ideas to fill your evening with magic, your Travelive expert is ready with suggestions to make your farewell unforgettable.

DAY 9

Departure


After breakfast say goodbye to your Egyptian home with a private transfer to Cairo International Airport. Carry with you the memories of ancient wonders, desert stars and warm hospitality, a journey that will linger in your heart long after you depart.

Sourav & Trina, USA

Hi Dina,

We had a fabulous time in Egypt! Our trip was very well organized and the Sakkara tour representatives/guides especially in Cairo were extremely friendly and helpful. I wish we had some more time to visit Abu Simbel....maybe next time!

Thank you for creating a great itinerary for us - we certainly felt that we made most of our time.

Happy Holidays!
