Day 13 stopsAbout 1–2 hours, depending on airport procedures and trafficArrive at Cairo International Airport, meet your Ozes representative, and transfer by private vehicle to your hotel. After check-in, take time to freshen up and settle in before the evening program.
About 2 hoursHead out with your guide and driver for a first taste of Cairo at night. Walk through Khan El Khalili’s historic lanes, where lamps, copperware, textiles, perfumes, and café chatter spill into narrow streets. Your guide helps you move comfortably through the bazaar and understand local shopping manners.
About 1–1.5 hoursEnjoy a traditional Egyptian dinner near the bazaar area, then return to your hotel by private transfer. The evening is paced gently after your flight, with no early sightseeing pressure on arrival day.
Day 25 stopsAbout 45–75 minutes, depending on hotel location and trafficStart with breakfast at the hotel, then meet your private guide in the lobby. Your driver takes you toward Giza, crossing from central Cairo into the desert edge where the plateau begins.
About 2–2.5 hoursVisit the Pyramids of Giza with guided explanation of the plateau, pyramid construction, royal burial beliefs, and the surrounding desert landscape. There is time for the main viewing points and panoramic photos. Camel or horse riding is not included but can be discussed as an optional add-on.
About 30–45 minutesContinue to the Great Sphinx area for a closer look at one of Egypt’s most recognisable monuments. Your guide explains the Sphinx’s setting within the wider pyramid complex and points out useful photo angles without rushing the stop.

1 hourBoard a private yacht for a relaxed 1-hour Nile cruise. Watch Cairo from the water: bridges, riverbanks, passing boats, and the soft shift in noise as the city moves around you.
About 1 hour for lunch, then transfer timeAn Egyptian meal is served onboard the yacht. After the cruise, your driver returns you to the hotel for a quiet evening or free time at your own pace.
Day 44 stopsAbout 3–4 hours, flexibleAfter breakfast, choose your shopping destination for the day: Open Air Mall or Mall of Arabia. Your private driver takes you there for cafés, shopping, entertainment, and unhurried leisure time.

About 2 hoursIn the evening, visit a Cairo rooftop venue for city views, music or lounge atmosphere, and a modern contrast to the ancient sites visited earlier in the trip. Venue selection depends on availability, atmosphere, and your preferences.
About 30–60 minutes, depending on trafficReturn to your hotel by private transfer. This is your final overnight in Cairo, so it is a good time to prepare luggage for next day check-out.

About 1.5–2 hoursVisit the Citadel of Saladin and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, a major Cairo landmark with Ottoman-style architecture, courtyards, and elevated city views. Your guide explains the site’s military and religious importance without turning the final morning into a rushed checklist.
About 1 hourStop for a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant before the airport transfer. The meal is timed around your flight schedule, with adjustments if your departure is earlier or later in the day.
