Day 12 stopsAbout 1–2 hours, depending on airport procedures and trafficArrive at Cairo International Airport, where an Ozes representative assists with arrival formalities and introduces the flow of the week. Travel by private vehicle to your Cairo hotel, check in and take time to settle after your flight.
About 2 hoursStart the trip with a relaxed welcome dinner at a traditional Egyptian restaurant. Expect familiar local flavors such as grilled meats, rice dishes, fresh bread, dips and seasonal salads, with your guide giving a simple introduction to Egyptian dining customs and the days ahead.
Day 23 stops
About 2–3 hoursAfter breakfast, meet your Egyptologist guide and drive to Giza. Explore the main pyramid area, learn how the royal necropolis developed and stop at a panoramic viewpoint for wide desert views across the plateau.
About 45 minutes–1 hourContinue to the Great Sphinx area for close-up views of the monument and the valley-side setting below the pyramids. Your guide explains the Sphinx’s royal associations and helps plan the best photo angles without rushing the stop.
About 2–3 hoursVisit the Grand Egyptian Museum for a guided introduction to ancient Egyptian treasures and the long timeline behind the objects. The visit is paced to focus on key highlights while leaving time for photography where allowed and independent browsing.
Day 33 stops
About 1.5–2 hoursBegin the day at the Citadel, one of Cairo’s major medieval landmarks, and visit the Mosque of Muhammad Ali. From the elevated courtyards, look across the dense city skyline and, on clear days, toward the desert edge.
About 1.5–2 hoursTravel to Old Cairo to explore Coptic Cairo and visit the Hanging Church. The area is compact and atmospheric, with stone lanes, church courtyards and layers of Christian history that contrast strongly with the previous day’s pharaonic sites.
About 2 hoursSpend the afternoon around Khan El Khalili, Cairo’s best-known bazaar district. Walk past shops selling lamps, textiles, spices, perfumes and metalwork, then use your free time for browsing, coffee or careful souvenir shopping.
Day 42 stopsMost of the day including transfers and rest stopsAfter breakfast, check out of your Cairo hotel and transfer to the Go Bus station for the VIP coach journey to Hurghada.

Day 63 stopsPart of a half-day to evening safariLeave the resort for an Eastern Desert safari and ride a quad bike across open desert terrain. The experience is active and dusty, so closed shoes, sunglasses and a scarf or face covering make the ride more comfortable.
About 2–3 hours within the safari programContinue to a Bedouin village experience with traditional tea and a short camel riding opportunity. As the light softens, watch the desert change color before dinner is served.
About 1.5–2 hours plus return transferEnd the safari with a BBQ dinner and an oriental entertainment show before returning to the resort. The evening is casual, with time to rest after the desert outing.
