Additional Programs and Tours that you can Book

Grand Egyptian Museum

This mega museum in Giza will showcase Tutankhamun’s burial treasures for the first time, all at the same place, including 2,000 artefacts that have never been made public before. A visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum is a highlight of your Egypt tour.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is situated on 50 hectares (120 acres) of land approximately two kilometres from the Giza pyramids and is part of a new master plan for the plateau.

The building of the museum has a unique beauty. Although it will not rival the beauty of the Giza pyramids it looks like foldings in the desert sand. The Facade of the museum is geometrical in shape with alabaster stone. The museum is designed to line up with the Great Pyramid of Khufu and Menkaure.

The museum building is shaped like a chamfered triangle and while the front of the building has a translucent stone wall, it is the atrium inside that you will marvel at when you arrive.

The museum will house about 100,000 artefacts spanning a history of 7000 years of Egyptian history. With the latest technology in its halls.

One of the artefacts that has been recently transported to the museum is the thirty-foot-high granite statue of King Ramses II. The statue is more than three thousand years old and weighs about eighty-three tons. The statue was placed in a cage that was constructed specifically for the transport, and it was surrounded by a mounted military guard and a marching band for the journey. Once it arrived at the new Grand Egyptian Museum, it was placed inside the atrium where it will greet you every time you walk through the front doors.

While you are visiting this museum, you will be able to wander through exhibition galleries and watch a 3D movie within the cinema. It may be the ancillary buildings, restaurants, and shops that pique your interest the most after you have completed your exploration of history.

Virtual reality has also been incorporated into this new museum space, so every visitor will be able to incorporate the latest in technology during their visit. There is nothing better than feeling like you are being transported back in time as you are experiencing seeing these items for the first time.

What you will see, is the Hanging Obelisk Square in front of the museum, the atrium, the Children’s Museum, the Immersive Hall, the outdoor areas, and retail and food and beverage outlets, which include leading Egyptian brands.

Entry to the atrium will afford access to a selection of remarkable artefacts, including the colossus of Rameses II, the 10 Statues of Senusret, the Sakkara Cannon, the victory column of Meneptah, in addition to the Ptolemaic King and Queen statues.

All other museum interior spaces, including access to the main galleries and the two Tutankhamun galleries, will remain closed in preparation for the full site opening.

Pyramids Camel Ride

Experience the Great Pyramid of Giza, the only remaining ancient world wonder, at its most beautiful on this sunrise camel tour. With a private guide, climb atop your camel and enjoy a leisurely ride as the sun shines above the ancient structures. Get ready to capture the best photos.

Motorboat Nile Trip

Enjoy the motorboat tour in the longest Nile in the world while enjoying the sights of Cairo from the water along with a cosy atmosphere. Enjoy refreshing breezes with a ride on the traditional Egyptian motorboat and the bewitching skyline of Cairo, while listening to some famous Egyptian songs. Soak up stellar views of Cairo’s towers, bridges and riverfront. Snap photos and make memories. It's a family-friendly cruise ideal for all ages.

    Four excellent experiences with Landious

    Posted by Mark McDonald on 25th Aug 2024

    After our remarkable vacation in Egypt, we sincerely thank Landious Travel for their exceptional service and support throughout our trip! Even before embarking on our vacation, Landious Travel provided valuable information, helping us plan our excursions. The ease of communication via WhatsApp and Facebook made the entire process convenient and straightforward. Landious Travel stood out with its unparalleled offers and attention to detail, providing us with the best guidance for every aspect of our trip. After carefully considering our options, we decided on four captivating excursions: 1. We embarked on a picturesque day trip by boat to the breathtaking Orange Island, where we indulged in a delightful snorkelling experience and savoured a delicious lunch accompanied by a charming folklore show. 2. Our journey to Abu Dabbab Beach & Turtle on a private limousine was extraordinary. We marvelled at the stunning beach, swam with turtles, and relished two invigorating snorkelling trips while witnessing a mesmerizing sunset. 3. An evening excursion to Hurghada, including a private limousine ride and a delightful dinner at the marina, introduced us to the city's captivating allure after dark. 4. The pinnacle of our adventures was a comprehensive two-day tour to Cairo, which included a private limousine and a knowledgeable tour guide, ensuring an all-encompassing and enriching experience. The seamless organization and fair pricing of all the tours orchestrated by Landious Travel significantly enhanced our overall vacation experience. Upon our arrival in Hurghada, our devoted driver, Michael, greeted us with a private limousine and ensured our safe transfer to the hotel, setting the tone for the exceptional service that awaited us. Following a few days of relaxation at our hotel, we eagerly delved into our meticulously planned excursion program, each experience leaving an indelible mark on our memories. Our visit to the paradise island began with a punctual pickup and an enchanting boat ride. It was followed by a day filled with snorkelling, delectable food, and a vibrant folklore show, creating an unforgettable day. The visit to Abu Dabbab Beach & Turtle was equally enchanting. It offered a perfectly orchestrated experience, including a memorable encounter with turtles, invigorating snorkelling trips, and a captivating sunset drive back to Hurghada. The highlight of our journey was our grand excursion to Cairo, which commenced with an early morning pickup by our guide and driver from Landious Travel. Our trip to Cairo was punctuated by captivating stops, including the Egyptian National Museum, a delightful lunch by the Nile, and an awe-inspiring tour of the pyramids and the Sphinx, all culminating in a mesmerizing laser night show in the shadow of the breathtaking pyramids. We were also treated to an enchanting private boat tour on the Nile at night and an extraordinary sunrise breakfast at the foot of the Sphinx and pyramids, providing an unparalleled way to start the day. Our excursion continued with visits to prominent landmarks, including the grand mosque of Mohammad Ali, the hanging church, and the Old Cairo Bazaar, Khan El Khalili. It concluded with a delightful stop at the Hard Rock Cafe Cairo and a fun pit stop at Mc "PHARAO" Donalds, adding a touch of lightheartedness to our remarkable adventure. We wrapped up our extraordinary Egypt holiday with an elegant limousine ride back to the hotel, reflecting on the incredible moments we had experienced. Every aspect of our vacation, meticulously planned and executed by Landious Travel, has left an indelible mark on our hearts, ensuring that our memories of Egypt will be cherished forever.

    It was a fantastic experience

    Posted by Mark Robinson on 6th Aug 2024

    We visited both Cairo and Luxor; it was a fantastic experience. The tours were exceptionally well-organized, and we appreciated the seamless communication through WhatsApp. The guides were knowledgeable and engaging, making the experience thoroughly enjoyable. In addition, we were always well taken care of and had a good supply of drinks. Staying in a luxurious 5-star hotel right by the pyramids was a highlight of the two-day trip to Cairo. One of the most unforgettable experiences was dining in the rooftop restaurant, where we enjoyed reasonably priced meals and had a front-row view of the spectacular light and sound show. I want to extend a special thanks to all the drivers for their safe and patient service throughout our journey.

    Landious did an exceptional job planning our tour

    Posted by Klay Thompson on 31st Jul 2024

    I recently took a trip to Egypt, and it was phenomenal. Even though I had visited in 2020, this time around was just as exciting, if not more so. It was my sister's and her husband's first time in Egypt, so seeing their wonder as they witnessed the pyramids for the first time was exceptional. Our tour operator, Landious, did an exceptional job planning our tour. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had an unforgettable experience. Seeing him again after our last trip in 2020 was such a delight. One of the highlights of this trip was visiting the new museum in Cairo. We opted for a 2-day tour this time, and it was completely worth it. The entire process went smoothly, from contacting Landious to booking our excursions. Everything was well-organized right from the start. On the tour day, we were picked up promptly at 2 a.m. and were already at the museum by 8 a.m. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his job. He provided fascinating insights into the city, the pyramids, and the Sphinx. The lunch we had was excellent. The food, the ambience, and the people - everything was perfect. I would go back just for the meal. The transportation was comfortable, and the two drivers were exceptional. Overall, I highly recommend this trip to anyone considering visiting Egypt. It was indeed an unforgettable experience.

    Cairo and Luxor Private Tours

    Posted by Megan Baker on 24th Jul 2024

    We did two trips with Landious Travel from Makadi Bay to Luxor (1 day) and Cairo (2 days). From booking (easy, and they respond immediately) to transfer (private tour, just the 4 of us in a top minibus) to the actual tour, everything was PERFECT!!! The guides were very informative and funny. You could also go off the beaten track. We never had to queue or wait anywhere. The drivers were always right where they were supposed to be and continuously adjusted to our needs, regardless of whether we spent longer or shorter time at one or the other sight. The choice of our hotel in Cairo was superb, directly opposite the pyramids. I want to share my fantastic experience with Landious Travel. We went on two unforgettable trips with them: one to Luxor for a day and another to Cairo for two days. The process was effortless from the moment we booked, and they always responded quickly to our queries. Our transfer to the tours was in a top-quality minibus, and it was a private tour for just the four of us. The guides were knowledgeable and entertaining, adding extra enjoyment to the tours. We had the flexibility to explore beyond the typical tourist spots, and we never found ourselves waiting in line anywhere. The drivers were punctual and accommodating, ensuring our needs were met, whether we wanted to spend more or less time at a particular site. Our hotel in Cairo was a dream come true, offering a balcony with clear views of the pyramids across from us. Unlike other tour companies, there were no rigid itineraries forced upon us. We always felt safe and well taken care of throughout our entire journey. A huge thank you to the team at Landious Travel for such an incredible experience! a balcony and a clear view of them. There were no forced itineraries like with other providers. We felt safe and perfectly looked after at all times. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    Thank you very much for these unforgettable experiences

    Posted by Paula Poundstone on 24th Jul 2024

    We had a fantastic time in Cairo that surpassed all of our expectations. It was a dream come true for both of us. The level of organization, from our knowledgeable guide to the top-notch hotel accommodations and delicious food, was awe-inspiring. What stood out the most was how everything was tailored to accommodate our 23-month-old daughter. Our guide was incredibly understanding and always willing to take breaks to ensure our little one was comfortable throughout the trip. We even had the luxury of having an entire minibus, providing our family with a relaxed and convenient experience. A heartfelt thank you to our exceptional drivers, our excellent guide, Ali, and the tour operator who provided round-the-clock assistance. This trip was nothing short of extraordinary!

    Top organised 2-day tour to Cairo

    Posted by Michal Heller on 21st Jul 2024

    We were promptly picked up and comfortably travelled to Cairo in a spacious minivan, making the 5.5-hour journey seem shorter thanks to a well-deserved nap (pro tip: bring a pillow for extra comfort). Upon arriving in Cairo, we were greeted by our exceptional guide, an Egyptologist fluent in English. Not only did he possess an impressive wealth of knowledge, but he also tailored the experience to our interests and needs. Navigating the Egyptian museum would have been overwhelming without his expertise. From Khan El Khalili to the hanging church and the pyramids, he made every destination a memorable experience. The entire tour was flawlessly organized, with a well-air-conditioned car and an amiable driver swiftly transporting us between locations. We were also treated to delicious lunches, and the restaurant on the second day stood out as exceptional. This was the final tour of three we booked with Landious Travel during our vacation, and each exceeded our expectations.

    Our experience with Landious far exceeded our expectations

    Posted by Christine Herron on 16th Jul 2024

    During our vacation in Hurghada, we carefully compared different options before booking a 2-day car tour for two people to Cairo and Giza with Landious Travel, an online travel agency. Our experience with them far exceeded our expectations. The driver who accompanied us was top-notch, and the Egyptologist who guided us in Cairo was equally impressive, providing extensive knowledge in English. Everything ran smoothly and punctually, and as a special treat, we were delighted to stay in a suite at the Steigenberger Pyramids Hotel with a direct view of the pyramids. For our future trips to Egypt, we will book with Landious Travel again and highly recommend their services due to their extremely friendly and helpful staff.

    We are grateful for the outstanding experience

    Posted by Catherine Fulop on 14th Jul 2024

    During our trip as a couple, we had a fantastic time with Landious. Their services were hassle-free, punctual, well-coordinated, and incredibly welcoming. All our arrangements were efficiently handled through WhatsApp. The excursions we booked were meticulously organized and professionally executed. Our two-day excursion to Cairo was flawlessly organized, and an extremely knowledgeable guide accompanied us. Opting for a private tour proved immensely beneficial, as our guide shared abundant fascinating information with us. The quality of the experience justified the additional cost of a private tour. Despite the tiring hours spent in the car during the journey, our driver also played a crucial role in making our trip successful. Overall, it was an exceptional trip that exceeded our expectations, and we are incredibly grateful for the outstanding experience provided by Landious.
