Day 1:</strong Visit Giza Pyramids, GEM & Saqqara
Your 2 Days Cairo Tour from Aswan by plane begins with an early pickup to Aswan Airport and a short flight to Cairo; meet your Egyptologist guide on arrival and set out on a smooth, well-paced circuit that brings Giza’s desert panorama, a visionary new museum, and Old Kingdom innovations into one compelling day.
Giza Pyramids Complex:
Walk the plateau where the Great, Khafre, and Menkaure pyramids rise from golden sands; your guide connects temples, causeways, and cemeteries into a complete funerary landscape that framed the royal journey to eternity.
Great Pyramid of Khufu:
Stand before the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World and hear how its sheer mass, internal passages, and precise geometry have inspired engineers and travelers for centuries.
The Great Sphinx:
Meet the lion-bodied, human-headed guardian of the plateau; explore symbolism, chronology, and the restoration stories that kept this emblem of royal power alive through the ages.
The Valley Temple:
Step into an exceptionally preserved complex of massive limestone blocks tied to mummification rites and the opening-of-the-mouth ceremony, completing Giza’s sacred cycle from life to afterlife.
Break for lunch at a quality local restaurant, then continue to two essential stops beyond the plateau.
Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM):
Discover a new era of curation beside the pyramids—expansive galleries, modern storytelling, and a setting designed to showcase Egypt’s heritage with clarity and scale.
Saqqara Step Pyramid:
See Imhotep’s revolutionary design for King Djoser—the first monumental stone pyramid—set within a vast necropolis of mastabas, courtyards, and shrines that paved the way for Giza’s grandeur.
After sightseeing, check in at your 5★ Cairo hotel for a comfortable overnight on this 2 Days Tour from Aswan to Cairo by plane.

The Egyptian Museum (Tahrir):
Survey Egypt’s richest trove of antiquities—royal treasures, statuary, mummies, and everyday objects—spanning pre-dynastic beginnings through the Greco-Roman era.
Salah El-Din Citadel:
Climb to Cairo’s medieval stronghold for sweeping views and stories of Ayyubid defenses and Mamluk power that shaped the city’s skyline and history.
Mohammed Ali Mosque (Alabaster Mosque):
Step inside Muhammad Ali Pasha’s Ottoman landmark with its grand dome and twin minarets; marble-clad interiors and a spacious courtyard frame classic photos of Cairo.
The Hanging Church:
Visit Old Cairo’s famed church built above a Roman gate, with a distinctive wooden roof and centuries of liturgical heritage woven into its icons and nave.
Pause for lunch at a local restaurant before a final, colorful stop.
Khan El Khalili Bazaar:
Wander lanes lined with craft workshops, spice sellers, and glittering storefronts; it’s the perfect place for souvenirs, coffee, and snapshots of everyday Cairo.
