Overview

Land in Cairo with a long layover. Eight hours later, you have stood at the foot of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, seen the Great Sphinx up close, and walked through the Tutankhamun galleries at the Grand Egyptian Museum, and you are back at the airport with two hours of buffer before your next flight. This is the Cairo layover tour built for travelers with one shot at the Pyramids between flights. Your licensed Egyptologist meets you at Cairo airport with a private vehicle, knows exactly how long each stop takes, tracks your departure time, and returns you to the terminal with margin to spare. A snack bag for the road. No shopping stops, no surprise detours. The tour that takes the layover seriously.
