Cairo by Bus from Sharm El Sheikh – Pyramids, Sphinx & Egyptian Museum or GEM
Cairo is one of the most surprising capitals in the world. The city is full of amazing buildings, beautiful mosques and churches, and the world's longest river – the Nile – flows through its heart.
Giza, on the west bank of the Nile, is famous for the magnificent pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinos and the majestic Sphinx. The Pyramid of Cheops is one of the seven wonders of the world that still exists.
You can choose one of two museum options:
- The classic Egyptian Museum (over 120,000 exhibits)
- The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) – the new, largest museum with the Tutankhamun collection
