Itinerary

Upon arrival at Cairo International Airport, your tour manager will meet and assist you with all arrival procedures, including luggage and customs, while holding a sign bearing your name or our company name (Memphis Tours). You’ll then be escorted to your hotel in a private air-conditioned deluxe vehicle. Upon arrival at the hotel, your tour manager will assist you with a smooth check-in and review your holiday itinerary with you to confirm pick-up times for each tour.


Overnight in Cairo.

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel in Cairo. At 09:00 AM, you will be met and accompanied by your personal guide to the Giza Plateau to visit one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the Great Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus. You’ll also see the famous Sphinx and the Valley Temple located in front of the great statue.
Afterward, enjoy lunch at a good quality local restaurant, then head to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) for a visit. Return to the hotel after the tour.

Overnight in Cairo.

At 07:00 AM, your tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo and transfer you to Bahariya Oasis, located about 360 km west of Cairo. The drive takes approximately four hours. Upon arrival, lunch will be served in the oasis.
Later, visit the Golden Mummies showroom and two nobles' tombs from the 26th Dynasty—a significant burial site in Bahariya Oasis, part of Egypt's Western Desert. Among the tombs, you will see the Tomb of Bannantiu.
Then enjoy a climb to the English House, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding area.

A Perfect Blend of History and Leisure

Our trip to Egypt was truly special. While every ancient site was breathtaking, the most memorable moment came during our Nile cruise. Our guide, Ahmed, saw our genuine curiosity about local life. He arranged for us to take a small boat to a remote village, where we shared mint tea with a local family. Sitting on their rooftop, we watched the sunset over the river and listened to their stories,
