Standing before the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World is unforgettable — and from Sharm El Sheikh you can do it in a single day. Here's everything you need to know to plan a smooth Cairo day trip.
By plane or by road?
By plane is fastest — a short flight each way leaves more hours at the sites and less time travelling. By road is cheaper but a long day. Either way, an early start is worth it.
What you'll see
The Pyramids of Giza — Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, plus the chance to go inside (extra ticket). The Great Sphinx — the guardian with a lion's body and a pharaoh's face. The Egyptian Museum — home to Tutankhamun's golden treasures and thousands of artefacts. Tips for the day
Wear comfortable shoes and a hat — Giza is open and sunny. Bring some cash for tips, the inside-pyramid ticket and souvenirs. Go with a licensed Egyptologist guide; the history brings the stones to life. Is it worth it? Absolutely. Even as a long day, seeing Giza and Tutankhamun's mask is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that pairs perfectly with a Red Sea beach holiday.
