Experience the joy of rural Egypt and its old wonders in this unique day tour, merging history, culture, and adventure. One could start the day visiting one of the historical archeological sites such as the Valley of the Kings in Luxor or the Great Pyramids of Giza and from here go on sightseeing tombs, temples, or even more massive monuments, seeing the grandeur of ancient civilization. Under the watchful eyes of an expert guide, unveil the stories behind these beautiful landmarks dotted by intricate hieroglyphics, towering statues, and breathtaking desert landscapes.

After a rich delve into Africa's history, one put the switch to his-toned ride of a donkey through a typical village or the beautiful countryside. Travel undulating trails of pure earth surrounding field after field of lush-green fields, palm groves, and simple mud-brick houses, thereby being exposed to local rural life. And why not include a few farmers busy looking after their crops, children playing along the way, and lots of villagers greeting you with broad warm smiles? Here indeed, then, is the slow and clean way of the total antithesis of Egypt's busy street life: reminding all who undertake it of the true home of Egypt's countryside, its lonely places, and bright miles.

Finish your day with an informal visit to a local café or a house where you can sip Egyptian tea and taste warm fresh bread while learning the processes of native customs and traditions. Enjoy a homemade meal or a picnic in the countryside before heading back to your hotel with unforgettable memories of both the ancient wonders of Egypt and vibrant rural life. This absorbs all the ingredients of History-interspersed adventure, and culture-Immersive, being Day Tours in Egypt & Donkey rides.

Itinerary

You will be welcomed at Cairo International Airport by our charming tour leader, who will collect you in a private vehicle and an air-conditioned car to prepare you for a full day of exploration into the famous landmarks of Egypt. The Giza Plateau will be your first destination, where you will admire the famous Great Pyramids of Giza: Cheops, Khafre, and Menkaure. Stand in the shadows of these ancient wonders and learn about their mysteries with your private guide. Discover the Valley Temple of King Khafre and learn how the body of the pharaoh was prepared for burial, and, finally, pay a visit to the Great Sphinx, the enigmatic guardian of the pyramids.

From here, continue via Dahshur, which houses two of Egypt's most interesting pyramids: the Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid, both built during Pharaoh Sneferu's reign. The Red Pyramid, the first true smooth-sided pyramid in the world, stands in sharp contrast to the Bent Pyramid, which is uniquely angled. Here you will also enjoy a memorable donkey ride, affording a unique view of the Egyptian traditional countryside and desert landscape.

Then, after such an exciting day of sightseeing, enjoy a traditional lunch in a tranquil Egyptian village, where you can indulge in truly local culinary delights while experiencing warm Egyptian hospitality. After the comforting views of the countryside, it is back to the Cairo International Airport for your smooth transfer onward or departure. This day tour is a perfect combination of history, adventure, and cultural experiences that will forever remain in your memory as the marvels of timeless Egypt.
