Short description

Travelling in a group of no more than six keeps this Cairo day personal. You ride in a modern air-conditioned minivan with a professional Egyptologist, which makes it easy to ask questions along the way. The trip leaves daily from your hotel in Hurghada; the drive to Cairo takes about six hours each way and the whole day lasts around 18 hours. Your pickup time depends on where your hotel is and is confirmed after booking.

At Giza you explore the Great Pyramids and stand in front of the Great Sphinx with your guide. You then continue to the The Grand Egyptian Museum, which holds a remarkable collection of ancient treasures and royal artifacts. The day also includes a panoramic drive through Cairo and lunch at a local restaurant, before you head back to Hurghada in the evening.

Tickets for the Giza Pyramids area and the Egyptian Museum are included. Entry inside the Great Pyramid is an optional extra ticket, and the optional Nile boat trip and personal expenses are not covered. Expect moderate walking, and bring your passport with your Egyptian visa, comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat.
