Tips and gratuitiesAny services not clearly listed as includedA curated journey through Egypt's most iconic ancient wonders — pace, stops, meals and insider tips designed by our local experts.
Day 12 stops2–3 hours, depending on arrival formalities and trafficArrive at Cairo International Airport, where an Ozes representative meets you after landing and assists with your private transfer into the city. After hotel check-in, take time to settle in, freshen up, and adjust to Cairo’s pace before the evening experience.
3–4 hoursIn the evening, your driver takes you to Khan El Khalili for a gentle first taste of old Cairo. Walk through narrow bazaar lanes lined with brass lamps, spices, textiles, and small workshops, then pause for a traditional Egyptian welcome dinner before returning to your hotel.
Day 24 stops
2–3 hoursAfter breakfast, meet your private Egyptologist guide and drive to Giza. Start at the pyramid plateau, where your guide explains how the site was planned, how the pyramids relate to the desert landscape, and where to stop for the best wide-angle views without rushing.
45–60 minutesContinue to the Great Sphinx area for a closer look at one of Egypt’s most recognisable ancient monuments. Your guide helps connect the Sphinx with the temples, causeways, and royal architecture around it, then you have time for photos from practical viewpoints.
2–3 hoursVisit the Grand Egyptian Museum near the Giza Plateau for a guided introduction to major displays and ancient Egyptian craftsmanship. The visit is paced to focus on the most relevant galleries rather than trying to absorb everything at once.
Evening at leisureEnjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch during the touring day, then return to the hotel for an evening at leisure. Optional add-ons may include a camel ride, ATV desert adventure, Sound & Light Show, or Nile dinner cruise, depending on your preference and availability.
Day 33 stops
2 hoursBegin with the Citadel of Salah El Din and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali. The elevated setting gives a strong sense of Cairo’s scale, while your guide explains the defensive, political, and religious importance of this landmark complex.
2–3 hoursContinue to Coptic Cairo to visit the Hanging Church and nearby historic religious landmarks. Expect old stone lanes, quiet courtyards, and layered stories from a district shaped by centuries of Christian, Jewish, and Islamic heritage.
Optional, usually 2–3 hoursReturn to the hotel for an evening at leisure. If you want to keep exploring, your private setup makes it easy to add an Al Moez Street walking tour, a local food experience, or a focused shopping stop with guidance on quality and bargaining etiquette.
Day 44 stops
2–3 hoursAfter breakfast, drive south to Saqqara. Your guide leads you through the Step Pyramid complex, explaining why Djoser’s monument matters in the story of pyramid building and how the surrounding tombs and courtyards reveal early royal ideas of the afterlife.
1–1.5 hoursContinue to Memphis Open-Air Museum to see important remains from Egypt’s ancient capital. The visit is compact but meaningful, especially when paired with Saqqara, because it helps connect royal monuments with the political centre that once supported them.
Afternoon flexibleEnjoy an included traditional Egyptian lunch, then return toward Cairo. The rest of the afternoon can stay relaxed or be customised with an optional private felucca ride, Nile dinner cruise, shopping tour, or cultural show.
2–3 hoursClose the journey with a farewell dinner experience. This is a good moment to revisit favourite dishes from the trip, ask your guide any final questions, and plan airport timing for the next day.
Day 51 stops2–3 hours, depending on airport timing and trafficAfter breakfast, receive hotel check-out assistance and a private transfer to Cairo International Airport. Your representative helps with departure arrangements so the final morning stays smooth and unhurried.
