7 Days Cairo, Sharm El Sheikh & Catherine

After enjoying breakfast at your hotel, your professional Egyptologist guide will meet you for an inspiring full-day tour around Cairo’s most iconic landmarks.

Start your exploration at the legendary Giza Plateau, where you’ll visit the monumental Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. Stand in awe before the Great Sphinx, the timeless guardian carved with a lion’s body and a king’s visage. You’ll also walk through the Valley Temple, a site linked to ancient funerary practices and royal mummification.

Enjoy a delicious lunch at a reputable local restaurant.

Next, head to the impressive Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), a world-class cultural complex housing one of the largest collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts. 

Wander through the vast exhibition halls filled with beautifully preserved statues, royal relics, and daily life items from the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. You'll witness masterpieces such as golden treasures, pharaonic tools, and monumental sculptures. 

The museum’s architecture and design offer a captivating experience through Egypt’s ancient legacy.

After your enriching visit, return comfortably to your hotel in Cairo.

Following breakfast, you’ll be accompanied to Cairo Airport for a domestic flight to the picturesque resort city of Sharm El Sheikh.

Located on the southern coast of the Sinai Peninsula, Sharm El Sheikh is a top-tier beach retreat, famous for its crystal-clear waters, rich coral reefs, and abundant marine life. 

Upon landing, a friendly team member will assist with your transfer to the hotel. Spend the remainder of your day relaxing—whether it’s basking under the sun, enjoying the hotel pool, or strolling along Naama Bay’s vibrant promenade.

Spend the early part of your day enjoying the coastal charm of Sharm El Sheikh. Take a dip in the Red Sea, snorkel among vivid coral gardens, or simply unwind by the beach.

At 10:30 PM, you’ll begin your spiritual overnight adventure. You’ll be driven to the base of Mount Sinai, traditionally believed to be the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments. 

Guided by a local Bedouin expert, your ascent begins around 2:00 AM under a sky full of stars. The quietude of the desert and the star-lit path create a powerful atmosphere. 

After a steady climb, you’ll reach the summit just in time for a spectacular sunrise over the rugged Sinai landscape—a moment that’s sure to leave a lasting impression.

After sunrise, descend Mount Sinai and proceed to visit the nearby St. Catherine Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled at the foot of the mountain.

This ancient monastery, dating back to the 6th century and founded by Emperor Justinian, is among the oldest in existence. Inside, explore its treasured manuscript library, centuries-old Byzantine icons, and the sacred Chapel of the Burning Bush—believed to mark the very location where Moses spoke to God through the fiery shrub.

After your historical and spiritual visit, you’ll head back to Sharm El Sheikh to rest and relax for the remainder of the day.

After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to Sharm El Sheikh Airport for your return flight to the capital. Upon your arrival in Cairo, you’ll be met and escorted to your hotel.

The rest of the day is yours to enjoy as you wish. You may choose to relax at your hotel or opt for one of the following engaging optional excursions:

• Alexandria Day Trip: Travel north to Egypt’s Mediterranean gem. Highlights include the Roman Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the modern Library of Alexandria, and the historic Citadel of Qaitbay built on the original site of the famed Lighthouse.
• Old Cairo & Citadel Tour: Explore the medieval Citadel of Saladin and visit the majestic Mosque of Muhammad Ali. Then, continue into Coptic Cairo, where you'll discover significant religious landmarks such as the Hanging Church, the Church of St. Sergius, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue.
