There are a lot of Aswan tours to Cairo, but there is only one that allows you to see the most famous landmarks in Egypt  . 


The Pyramids of Giza    and Great Sphinx    are two of the most iconic sights in Egypt, but they’re also very crowded. If you want to visit these monuments without waiting for hours in line or dealing with aggressive touts, then this private tour is perfect for you.


This is not your average day trip! You will be picked up by our driver/guide at your hotel lobby driven directly to Aswan airport where we will board our chartered plane directly for Cairo (45 minutes flight). Our guide will meet you on arrival and take you straight away to visit the following places; Egyptian Museum  , Khan El Khalili Bazaar    & Alabaster Mosque before returning back to Aswan airport.
