About This Tour
Step into the future of Egypt’s past with Tango Travel’s exclusive Grand Egyptian Museum & Giza Pyramids Day Tour from Ain El Sokhna Port. This shore excursion combines the legendary Great Pyramids of Giza with a visit to the brand-new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) — the largest archaeological museum in the world.
After pickup from your cruise ship, enjoy a scenic 2-hour drive to Cairo in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with your private licensed Egyptologist guide. First, explore the iconic Giza Plateau, where the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World — the Great Pyramid of Khufu — stands in all its glory.
Roam around the massive structures of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. Stand in awe before the mysterious Sphinx and learn the fascinating stories of their construction, beliefs, and secrets. Capture stunning photos with panoramic desert backdrops.
Next, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant before heading to the highly anticipated Grand Egyptian Museum.
Located just outside the Giza Plateau, GEM is Egypt’s most ambitious cultural project, housing over 100,000 artifacts, including the complete and newly displayed collection of Tutankhamun’s treasures. With cutting-edge displays, immersive lighting, and interactive tech, the museum is unlike anything you've experienced before.
Your expert guide will lead you through the highlights, helping you appreciate both the ancient world and this 21st-century tribute to Egypt's heritage. After your visit, return to Ain El Sokhna Port in full comfort — and right on time.
