FAQ
Yes. Since you are leaving the Sinai Peninsula, you will need a full Egypt Tourist Visa. You can purchase it at Sharm El Sheikh Airport before your flight or obtain an e-Visa online.
Yes, absolutely. Most hotels in Sharm El Sheikh offer free, secure luggage storage. We highly recommend traveling to Cairo with just a small backpack or overnight bag for convenience.
A 1-day tour involves rushed sightseeing and over 2 hours of airport waiting in a single day. The 2-day tour gives you double the time at the Pyramids and Museum, includes a night to experience Cairo's nightlife, and ensures you return to Sharm El Sheikh relaxed rather than exhausted.
Cairo’s nightlife is legendary! If you choose to explore during your free evening on Day 1, we highly recommend: Nile River Dinner Cruise: Enjoy a traditional buffet dinner with live Tanoura and belly dancing performances while cruising the Nile. Khan El-Khalili Bazaar: Visit one of the oldest open-air markets in the Middle East for souvenir shopping and authentic Egyptian tea at El Fishawy Café. The Sound and Light Show at Giza: Watch the pyramids illuminate at night with a dramatic historical narration.
Yes, absolutely! Camel and horse rides are iconic activities at the Giza Plateau. While they are not included in the standard tour price to keep the itinerary flexible, your Egyptologist guide can help you arrange a safe, fairly priced ride from reputable local handlers on-site.
Yes! Day 2 is designed with flexible free time, but it can be fully customized. If you want a structured tour on the second day, we can arrange an upgrade to visit Old Cairo (The Hanging Church & Ben Ezra Synagogue), the Citadel of Saladin, or the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) to see the Royal Mummies.
Yes! Following its grand official opening, the Grand Egyptian Museum now proudly displays the entire, world-famous Tutankhamun collection—consisting of over 5,000 treasures—together in one place for the first time in history. This includes his breathtaking golden artifacts and royal possessions.
While major credit cards are widely accepted in hotels, upscale restaurants, and the Grand Egyptian Museum, we strongly recommend carrying some Egyptian Pounds (EGP) in cash. This is essential for small purchases, street markets, local cafes, and tipping (baksheesh). US Dollars (USD) and Euros (EUR) are also easily exchanged at banks or ATMs in Cairo.
