Wonders to Coastal in 7 Days: Cairo to Sharm El Sheikh

Egypt is a land of wonders, from its ancient monuments and historical treasures to its beautiful coastlines and crystal-clear waters. In just 7 days, you can experience the best of both worlds, combining cultural exploration in Cairo with relaxation and adventure in Sharm El Sheikh. This itinerary is perfect for travelers who want to explore Egypt’s ancient history and enjoy its stunning beaches.

Day 1: Arrival in Cairo – The City of Wonders

Your journey begins in Cairo, the bustling capital of Egypt and home to some of the most famous ancient wonders in the world. After arriving, head straight to the Pyramids of Giza, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, Khafre’s Pyramid, and the iconic Sphinx. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a must-see and offers the chance to learn about Egypt’s ancient civilization.

Later, visit the Egyptian Museum to explore thousands of artifacts, including the treasures of Tutankhamun. If time permits, wander through Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest markets in the Middle East, where you can shop for traditional souvenirs.

Travel Tip for Cairo:

  • Book a guided tour to make the most of your visit to the pyramids and other historical sites.
  • Don’t forget to try Koshari and Foul Medames, Egypt’s famous street food.

Day 2: Cairo – Historical Landmarks and Cultural Insights

On day two, explore more of Cairo’s historical and cultural landmarks. Visit Saladin Citadel, where you can see the Mohammed Ali Mosque. This impressive mosque offers a panoramic view of the city and is a great place for photos. Then, head to Al-Azhar Mosque and explore Islamic Cairo, full of historical buildings, narrow streets, and bustling markets.

In the afternoon, visit The Egyptian Textile Museum to learn about Egypt’s rich textile history or enjoy a scenic cruise along the Nile River. A Nile dinner cruise is also a great way to experience the city’s nightlife.

Travel Tip for Cairo:

  • Make sure to dress modestly when visiting religious sites.
  • If possible, hire a local guide to explain the significance of each landmark.

Day 3 & 4: Travel to Sharm El Sheikh – Gateway to the Red Sea

After two full days in Cairo, take a short flight to Sharm El Sheikh, a resort town located on the Sinai Peninsula along the Red Sea coast. Known for its luxurious resorts and vibrant coral reefs, Sharm El Sheikh is a perfect destination for both relaxation and adventure.

On the first day, relax on the beaches of Naama Bay, where you can enjoy the sun, sea, and sand. For a more active day, take a snorkeling or diving tour to explore the stunning underwater world of the Ras Mohammed National Park, home to vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life.

Day 4 is perfect for a desert safari. Experience the dramatic desert landscapes in a 4×4 jeep, enjoy camel rides, and visit traditional Bedouin villages. For those seeking an adrenaline rush, try quad biking in the desert.

Travel Tip for Sharm El Sheikh:

  • Sharm El Sheikh is one of the top diving destinations in the world, so don’t miss the chance to go scuba diving or snorkeling.
  • Choose a resort that offers easy access to both the beach and the diving sites.

Day 5: Sharm El Sheikh – More Coastal Adventures

On the fifth day, head to Tiran Island, a paradise for snorkelers and divers, accessible via boat trips from Sharm El Sheikh. The island is famous for its crystal-clear waters and abundant marine life. If you prefer a more relaxed day, take a glass-bottom boat tour to view the stunning coral reefs without getting wet.

In the evening, explore Old Market in Sharm El Sheikh, where you can buy souvenirs, jewelry, and handcrafted goods. Enjoy a traditional Egyptian meal at a local restaurant, offering both local and international dishes.

Travel Tip for Sharm El Sheikh:

  • If you plan to visit Tiran Island, ensure to book your tour in advance, especially during peak seasons.
  • Stay hydrated and wear sunscreen, as temperatures can get quite high in the desert and coastal areas.

Day 6: Sharm El Sheikh – Free Day for Leisure or Adventure

Day six is free for you to either relax or engage in more adventures. For a laid-back day, enjoy the luxury amenities at your resort, whether it’s lounging by the pool or indulging in a spa treatment. Alternatively, for more action, try parasailing, kite surfing, or go for a hike up Mount Sinai to watch a breathtaking sunrise, one of Egypt’s most spiritual and scenic experiences.

Travel Tip:

  • Mount Sinai hikes can be challenging, so ensure you are physically prepared and have enough water and snacks for the journey.
  • Relax and unwind in the evening by visiting one of Sharm El Sheikh’s renowned seaside cafes or restaurants.

Day 7: Sharm El Sheikh – Departure

On your final day, enjoy a relaxing morning in Sharm El Sheikh, perhaps with a last stroll along Naama Bay or a final dip in the Red Sea before heading to the airport for your flight home.

Enjoy some free time in your hotel

In the morning, a tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in a private, air-conditioned car to start your wonderful tour visit as follows...

Giza Pyramids

The Pyramids of Giza are the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still preserved today, and therefore one of the most famous buildings in the world. The three major pyramids of Giza include the Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Mycrinus.

Queen Pyramids

Some other smaller secondary pyramids, where for example, the women of the pharaohs were buried, as well as labor villages, temples, and tombs.

Great Sphinx statue in Giza

The Great Sphinx of Giza is a giant Egyptian statue. It was carved from the limestone of the Giza plateau and represented a recumbent lion with a human head and the so-called veil of a name. Initially, the Sphinx was painted red ocher and had a chin beard, but this fell into antiquity.

Valley Temple

Next, go to see the valley temple used to cleanse the king's mummy before burial and to perform the king's embalming process.

Saqqara pyramid

We will move to Saqqara, a pyramidal complex that, like Giza, is part of the necropolis of Memphis. We will see one of the first pyramids built, which served as a model for all those made later.

The step pyramid of Djoser has a rectangular base and is about 60 meters high; and was part of a ceremonial complex built around 2650 BC for the pharaoh Djoser by Imhotep, the most famous Egyptian architect.

lunch

At the end of the visit to the Pyramids of Giza, we will take a break and take the opportunity to eat and recharge. Lunch will be in a restaurant and Egyptian food (drinks not included).

Ancient Memphis, Egypt

After Saqqara, we will make the last part of our journey. We will head to Memphis, the capital of the ancient empire between 3100 and 2040 BC and the site of the coronation of all the pharaohs of the kingdom.

According to tradition, Narmer founded the city of Memphis and is considered the first pharaoh. The city is located in the Nile Delta, between Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt, the two regions into which the country was divided.

In 1820, a colossal statue of one of the most famous pharaohs, Ramses II, who ruled from 1279 to 1213 BC, was found in the Great Temple of Ptah near Memphis. This pink granite statue is more than 11 meters high and weighs more than 80 tons. For a time, it was located in the center of Cairo, but erosion badly damaged it, and it was moved to Memphis, where it is displayed in a covered area for its protection.

After the tour, we will take you back to the hotel.

In the morning, a tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in a private, air-conditioned car to start your wonderful tour visit as follows...

The castle walls, reinforced by Roman emperors, are 3 meters thick, and the towers are 10 meters high and 31 meters in diameter.

Hanging Church

The Hanging Church is the most famous in the Coptic Quarter. It is known as the Hanging Church because it is built on one of the doors of the Roman castle, and the wooden dome of the Church is in the form of Noah's Ark, as described in the Old Testament.

Abu Serja Church

It is the oldest Church in Egypt. It was built in the 5th century over the cave, where it is believed that the Holy Family took refuge for several days. It is dedicated to Saints Sergius and Bacchus, whose remains are kept in this Church.

St. Barbara's Church

It is a church of great historical importance, originally dedicated to Saint Cyrus and Saint John. From the 13th century onwards, it was dedicated to Saint Barbara as her remains came to this Church. It houses some of the oldest and rarest icons of Coptic art.

Ben Ezra Synagogue

It was initially a church, but in the ninth century, it was sold to Abraham Ben Ezra, who gave it his name, for the money needed to pay the high taxes demanded by the Roman government.

Amr Ibn Al-Aas Mosque
