Day 2: Pyramids of Giza tour and the Egyptian Museum
Our second day of our wonderful 7 Days Cairo, Sharm El Sheikh & St. Catherine Monastery will be filled with countless cultural adventures in Cairo. The day will be divided as follows:
Morning: The Grand Egyptian Museum
After breakfast at the hotel, our tour guide, certified by Egypt Online Tour, will head to the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities – one of the most important museums in the world.
The Grand Egyptian Museum (Grand Museum)
One of the world's largest cultural projects, located next to the Pyramids of Giza, it combines ancient history with modern design. Here are its most prominent landmarks, according to the latest data available until May 2025:
The Main Hall: Displays the statue of Ramses II, the statues of Senusret, and the Victory Column of Merneptah.
The Grand Staircase: Considered a unique architectural landmark.
The Hanging Obelisk.
Services Area: Includes restaurants and souvenir shops.
We can take a break in the museum's cafeteria and enjoy the splendor and beauty of the design, or we can continue our tour.
Evening: The only surviving of the Seven Wonders of the World.
In the afternoon, we move to the Giza Pyramids – the greatest wonders of the ancient world that still stand today.
Visit the three pyramids: Cheops (the largest), Khafre (the largest), and Menkaure (the largest). Our guide will provide an interesting historical explanation of each pyramid and its secrets. Here are some key facts about them:
The Great Pyramid of Khufu
Erected in 2560 BC, it is considered an architectural marvel thanks to the contribution of skilled workers from all over Egypt.
Its original height was 148 meters (the tallest building in the world for 3,800 years).
It has been associated with myths such as its construction by aliens, Atlantis, or magic.
A massive national project that reflects the development of ancient Egyptian engineering.
The Pyramid of Khafre
Khufu's son, built it at a height of 143.5 meters (currently 136 meters), with an inclination of 53.1°.
Part of its outer cladding is still visible at the summit.
It houses the Great Sphinx, carved from a single rock.
Famous statues were found in its temple, such as the schist statue of Khafre (on display in the Egyptian Museum).
The Pyramid of Menkaure (the Sacred)
The smallest of the Giza pyramids, standing 65.5 meters (currently 62 meters) tall.
Its lower part was constructed from Aswan granite.
A wooden sarcophagus bearing the name of Menkaure was found inside, while his mummy is preserved in the British Museum.
It is surrounded by three smaller pyramids dedicated to queens.
The pyramids used advanced engineering techniques to ensure precise angles and alignment with the stars.
The Great Sphinx
Dating back to the reign of King Khafre (c. 2558–2532 BC), it is believed to have been carved from a single limestone rock as part of the king's funerary complex. Body length: 73 meters, height: 20 meters, and face width: approximately 4 meters.
The statue has the body of a lion (symbolizing strength) and the head of a human (symbolizing wisdom), and its facial features are believed to be identical to those of Khafre.
Facing east toward the rising sun, it aligns with Khafre's pyramid and mortuary temple.
The Egyptians called it "Horus Emakhet" (Horus on the Horizon).
Some associated it with lost civilizations (such as Atlantis) or aliens due to the intricate carving.
The Greeks believed it guarded treasures buried beneath the sands of Giza.
The Sphinx's nose (1 meter long) disappeared in the 14th century, and rumors spread of its destruction by Napoleon's army, but historical drawings prove its disappearance even earlier. Don't forget that you can ride a camel and take souvenir photos in front of the pyramids. Egypt Online Tour provides you with expert guides in Egyptian history, air-conditioned vehicles, and a flexible schedule to suit all tastes.
Day 3: Transfer to Egypt beach holidays
On the third day of our wonderful Red Sea vacations, we will fly after a delicious breakfast at your hotel in Cairo. An Egypt Online Tour representative will accompany you to Cairo Airport for your comfortable domestic flight to Sharm el-Sheik. Upon arrival at Sharm el-Sheik Airport, our tour team will be waiting for you in an air-conditioned vehicle to transfer you to your hotel.
Evening:
In the evening, we will relax at the hotel and then enjoy Egyptian beach holidays and the beauty of the Red Sea and a stroll along the famous Naama Bay promenade.
Is it worth going to Sharm el-Sheikh?
Absolutely—if you crave a slice of paradise with a side of the unexpected.
Nestled on the sun-soaked shores of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, Sharm el-Sheikh is a dazzling blend of luxury, adventure, and relaxation. While travel advisories often warn about the Sinai region, Sharm el-Sheikh—along with its laid-back neighbor, Dahab—remains a secure and thriving hub for tourists, thanks to heavy security measures and a focus on visitor safety.
Beyond its reputation for glamorous resorts and pristine beaches, Sharm el-Sheikh is a gateway to the Red Sea’s underwater wonders. Sharm el-Sheik diving into Ras Mohammed National Park, where vibrant coral reefs teem with marine life, or explore the eerie yet fascinating Yolanda Reef, home to an underwater sculpture garden and a shipwreck scattered with bathtubs and porcelain toilets! For thrill-seekers, the nearby desert offers ATV safaris, camel treks, and stargazing under Bedouin hospitality.
Egypt Online Tour takes care of every detail of your safe and comfortable intercity travel, with perfectly coordinated domestic flight schedules and a meet-and-greet service at each location.
Day 4: Mount Sinai and Visit to Saint Catherine
Our fourth wonderful day in our Family-friendly Egypt tour with Sharm el-Sheikh will be exceptional by all standards. In the morning, after breakfast at the hotel, we will embark on a special day of adventure and spiritual contemplation. Our Egypt Online Tour guide will set off with us in an air-conditioned vehicle to Saint Catherine, one of the most prominent landmarks in South Sinai, located about 3 hours from Sharm el-Sheik.
Why is St. Catherine's monastery on Mount Sinai important to Byzantine art?
Perched at the foot of Mount Sinai, St. Catherine's Monastery is a living museum of Byzantine artistry and spirituality. Its crown jewel is the 6th-century Transfiguration mosaic in the Katholikon, a masterpiece shimmering with gold and silver tesserae that depicts Christ radiating divine light, flanked by Moses and Elijah. This mosaic is one of the oldest and best-preserved examples of early Christian art, reflecting Constantinople's influence and the technical brilliance of Byzantine craftsmen.
But the monastery’s importance goes beyond its mosaics. It houses the world’s second-largest collection of ancient manuscripts (after the Vatican), including rare illuminated Bibles and texts in Greek, Syriac, and Arabic. Its isolation in the desert shielded it from iconoclasm, preserving priceless icons like the 6th-century Christ Pantocrator, a prototype for later Orthodox Christian art. For Byzantium, this site wasn’t just a pilgrimage destination—it was a beacon of faith and artistic innovation.
Evening: Rest, then Climbing
After a restful break, our adventure begins at 2:00 a.m. (dawn the next day) with a climb to Mount Moses, one of the most famous holy mountains in the world. It is believed that this is where Moses received the Ten Commandments. You will be accompanied by a mountaineering guide, and there will be scheduled breaks throughout the climb.
With Egypt Online Tour, you'll experience a unique spiritual journey amidst the Sinai Mountains, fully organized and attentive to the smallest details for your comfort and safety, and the best Sharm el-Sheik holidays .
Day 5: Saint Catherine's Monastery and Dahab, then return to Sharm El Sheikh
On the morning of the fifth day of the 7-day Cairo and Sharm el-Sheik tour package , after descending Mount Moses at sunrise, we continue our journey with a visit to Saint Catherine's Monastery, one of the oldest and most famous monasteries in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The monastery is dedicated to Saint Catherine, a ruler of Alexandria in ancient times who was tortured for her new faith. It houses a rare library and ancient religious manuscripts.
Is it safe to visit St. Catherine's monastery?
Absolutely! While media often conflates Sinai’s regions, St. Catherine’s—located in South Sinai—is as safe as Egypt’s iconic pyramids or Luxor. The area is heavily secured for tourists, with checkpoints and dedicated travel corridors. The monastery itself has been protected for centuries by the local Jabaliya Bedouin tribe, who trace their roots to Byzantine-era guardians hired by Emperor Justinian.
Visitors can hike Mount Sinai at sunrise (where Moses is said to have received the Ten Commandments) or explore the fortress-like monastery without fear. In fact, UNESCO’s designation of the area as a Mixed World Heritage Site (for both culture and nature) ensures ongoing preservation and safety measures. So, pack your boots and camera—this sacred desert oasis awaits, untouched by time and turmoil.
Reach the summit before sunrise to enjoy an unforgettable view that combines spirituality and natural grandeur.
Afternoon:
After visiting the monastery, we depart in our air-conditioned vehicle with an Egypt Online Tour guide to the charming city of Dahab—the ideal destination for relaxation, shopping, and water activities.
Free time to stroll on the beach or shop in the local market.
Have a delicious lunch at one of Dahab's distinguished restaurants (restaurant selection in coordination with the group).
What's so special about Dahab?
Dahab, Egypt's bohemian jewel, stands in stark contrast to the glitz and glamour of Sharm el-Sheikh. Despite its reputation as a windsurfing destination, this laid-back town offers a unique blend of adventure, culture, and charm that keeps travelers coming back. The shallow turquoise lagoon behind the Dahab sandbar is a perfect "laid-back" spot for beginners and freestylers, and steady winds (15-25 knots) make it a year-round destination.
The open sea behind the lagoon offers undulating, rolling conditions ideal for thrill-seekers, and areas like Speedy Area and Baby Bay are legendary among professional surfers.
Unlike more expensive European destinations, Dahab offers affordable equipment rentals and lessons, with Bedouin-run schools that add a distinctly local touch to the experience. The name "Dahab" means gold in Arabic, inspired by its golden beaches. Once a sleepy fishing village, it became a hippie haven in the 1980s, yet still retains its unique artistic spirit.
Evening:
Return by comfortable car to your hotel in Sharm el-Sheik.
Free time in the evening to relax at the hotel or stroll along the Naama Bay promenade.
With Egypt Online Tour, all your transportation and an All-inclusive Cairo and Sharm el-Sheik package are carefully calculated, and every visit is prepared for you to enjoy an unforgettable experience in comfort and safety.
Day 6: Return to Cairo and Enchanting Optional Tours
On the sixth day of our wonderful seven-day trip to Cairo and Sharm el-Sheik, after breakfast at your Sharm el-Sheik hotel, the Egypt Online Tour team will escort you to Sharm el-Sheik Airport in preparation for your flight back to Cairo.
Upon arrival in Cairo, you will be met by a private air-conditioned vehicle and transferred to your hotel for check-in.

Morning: The Grand Egyptian Museum
After breakfast at the hotel, our tour guide, certified by Egypt Online Tour, will head to the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities – one of the most important museums in the world.
The Grand Egyptian Museum (Grand Museum)
One of the world's largest cultural projects, located next to the Pyramids of Giza, it combines ancient history with modern design. Here are its most prominent landmarks, according to the latest data available until May 2025:

In the afternoon, we move to the Giza Pyramids – the greatest wonders of the ancient world that still stand today.
Visit the three pyramids: Cheops (the largest), Khafre (the largest), and Menkaure (the largest). Our guide will provide an interesting historical explanation of each pyramid and its secrets. Here are some key facts about them:
The Great Pyramid of Khufu
Erected in 2560 BC, it is considered an architectural marvel thanks to the contribution of skilled workers from all over Egypt.
Its original height was 148 meters (the tallest building in the world for 3,800 years).
It has been associated with myths such as its construction by aliens, Atlantis, or magic.
A massive national project that reflects the development of ancient Egyptian engineering.
The Pyramid of Khafre
Khufu's son, built it at a height of 143.5 meters (currently 136 meters), with an inclination of 53.1°.
Part of its outer cladding is still visible at the summit.
It houses the Great Sphinx, carved from a single rock.
Famous statues were found in its temple, such as the schist statue of Khafre (on display in the Egyptian Museum).
The Pyramid of Menkaure (the Sacred)
The smallest of the Giza pyramids, standing 65.5 meters (currently 62 meters) tall.
Its lower part was constructed from Aswan granite.
A wooden sarcophagus bearing the name of Menkaure was found inside, while his mummy is preserved in the British Museum.
It is surrounded by three smaller pyramids dedicated to queens.
The pyramids used advanced engineering techniques to ensure precise angles and alignment with the stars.
The Great Sphinx
Dating back to the reign of King Khafre (c. 2558–2532 BC), it is believed to have been carved from a single limestone rock as part of the king's funerary complex. Body length: 73 meters, height: 20 meters, and face width: approximately 4 meters.
The statue has the body of a lion (symbolizing strength) and the head of a human (symbolizing wisdom), and its facial features are believed to be identical to those of Khafre.
Facing east toward the rising sun, it aligns with Khafre's pyramid and mortuary temple.
The Egyptians called it "Horus Emakhet" (Horus on the Horizon).
Some associated it with lost civilizations (such as Atlantis) or aliens due to the intricate carving.
The Greeks believed it guarded treasures buried beneath the sands of Giza.

Flight:Cairo to Sharm
Overnight:Sharm Hotel
Our fourth wonderful day in our Family-friendly Egypt tour with Sharm el-Sheikh will be exceptional by all standards. In the morning, after breakfast at the hotel, we will embark on a special day of adventure and spiritual contemplation. Our Egypt Online Tour guide will set off with us in an air-conditioned vehicle to Saint Catherine, one of the most prominent landmarks in South Sinai, located about 3 hours from Sharm el-Sheik.
Why is St. Catherine's monastery on Mount Sinai important to Byzantine art?
Perched at the foot of Mount Sinai, St. Catherine's Monastery is a living museum of Byzantine artistry and spirituality. Its crown jewel is the 6th-century Transfiguration mosaic in the Katholikon, a masterpiece shimmering with gold and silver tesserae that depicts Christ radiating divine light, flanked by Moses and Elijah. This mosaic is one of the oldest and best-preserved examples of early Christian art, reflecting Constantinople's influence and the technical brilliance of Byzantine craftsmen.
But the monastery’s importance goes beyond its mosaics. It houses the world’s second-largest collection of ancient manuscripts (after the Vatican), including rare illuminated Bibles and texts in Greek, Syriac, and Arabic. Its isolation in the desert shielded it from iconoclasm, preserving priceless icons like the 6th-century Christ Pantocrator, a prototype for later Orthodox Christian art. For Byzantium, this site wasn’t just a pilgrimage destination—it was a beacon of faith and artistic innovation.
Evening: Rest, then Climbing
After a restful break, our adventure begins at 2:00 a.m. (dawn the next day) with a climb to Mount Moses, one of the most famous holy mountains in the world. It is believed that this is where Moses received the Ten Commandments. You will be accompanied by a mountaineering guide, and there will be scheduled breaks throughout the climb.
With Egypt Online Tour, you'll experience a unique spiritual journey amidst the Sinai Mountains, fully organized and attentive to the smallest details for your comfort and safety, and the best Sharm el-Sheik holidays .
Meals:Breakfast
Overnight:Sharm Hotel
On the morning of the fifth day of the 7-day Cairo and Sharm el-Sheik tour package , after descending Mount Moses at sunrise, we continue our journey with a visit to Saint Catherine's Monastery, one of the oldest and most famous monasteries in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The monastery is dedicated to Saint Catherine, a ruler of Alexandria in ancient times who was tortured for her new faith. It houses a rare library and ancient religious manuscripts.
Is it safe to visit St. Catherine's monastery?
Absolutely! While media often conflates Sinai’s regions, St. Catherine’s—located in South Sinai—is as safe as Egypt’s iconic pyramids or Luxor. The area is heavily secured for tourists, with checkpoints and dedicated travel corridors. The monastery itself has been protected for centuries by the local Jabaliya Bedouin tribe, who trace their roots to Byzantine-era guardians hired by Emperor Justinian.
Visitors can hike Mount Sinai at sunrise (where Moses is said to have received the Ten Commandments) or explore the fortress-like monastery without fear. In fact, UNESCO’s designation of the area as a Mixed World Heritage Site (for both culture and nature) ensures ongoing preservation and safety measures. So, pack your boots and camera—this sacred desert oasis awaits, untouched by time and turmoil.
Reach the summit before sunrise to enjoy an unforgettable view that combines spirituality and natural grandeur.
Afternoon:
After visiting the monastery, we depart in our air-conditioned vehicle with an Egypt Online Tour guide to the charming city of Dahab—the ideal destination for relaxation, shopping, and water activities.
Free time to stroll on the beach or shop in the local market.
Have a delicious lunch at one of Dahab's distinguished restaurants (restaurant selection in coordination with the group).
What's so special about Dahab?
Dahab, Egypt's bohemian jewel, stands in stark contrast to the glitz and glamour of Sharm el-Sheikh. Despite its reputation as a windsurfing destination, this laid-back town offers a unique blend of adventure, culture, and charm that keeps travelers coming back. The shallow turquoise lagoon behind the Dahab sandbar is a perfect "laid-back" spot for beginners and freestylers, and steady winds (15-25 knots) make it a year-round destination.
The open sea behind the lagoon offers undulating, rolling conditions ideal for thrill-seekers, and areas like Speedy Area and Baby Bay are legendary among professional surfers.
Unlike more expensive European destinations, Dahab offers affordable equipment rentals and lessons, with Bedouin-run schools that add a distinctly local touch to the experience. The name "Dahab" means gold in Arabic, inspired by its golden beaches. Once a sleepy fishing village, it became a hippie haven in the 1980s, yet still retains its unique artistic spirit.
Evening:
Return by comfortable car to your hotel in Sharm el-Sheik.
Free time in the evening to relax at the hotel or stroll along the Naama Bay promenade.
