6-Day Black and White Desert Tour

Day 1: Arrive in Egypt for Black and White Desert Tour

We have tour consultants on standby 24/7 so no matter what time you are arriving, we will have someone at the airport to meet you when you arrive for your Black and White Desert Tour. You will then be transferred to the upscale Le Meridien Pyramids Hotel and Spa aboard in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle. Our staff will assist you with check-in, and then go over your tour itinerary with you. They will also confirm pick up times for your tours, and you can enjoy a free “Welcome” drink on us. The remainder of your first day is yours: Relax by the pool; take a nap, or venture out and get a taste of Cairo.

Day 2: Pyramids & GEM

After a tasty and nourishing breakfast at your hotel, you will set out with your private guide to the Giza Plateau, where your experience begins at one of the world’s most famous landmarks – the Great Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. You will also visit the legendary Sphinx and the Valley Temple.

This impressive archaeological museum is located in Giza, approximately 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) from the pyramid complex. After the visit, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
