A private flight day for your own party. A driver takes you to Hurghada airport, and in Cairo a driver waits outside the airport. With an Egyptologist guide you visit the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square and Khan el-Khalili, with lunch, before the flight back.

The highlights name a "Great Egyptian Museum" while the description describes the old museum on Tahrir Square; one guest had the guide switch to the Grand Egyptian Museum on request.
