Local teamOverview
A day at the pyramids from the Red Sea, and back to your hotel the same evening. You fly from Hurghada in the morning, see Giza, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum with a guide, and fly back — around eight hours door to door.
The museum sits on the Giza plateau about two kilometres from the pyramids, which is why a single day is enough. It holds the complete Tutankhamun collection, some five thousand objects displayed together for the first time, and it is the reason this trip is worth making now even for someone who saw Cairo years ago.
Most people on the Red Sea coast are there for the diving and the sun, and treat Cairo as a separate trip for another year. It is 450 km away: a long day by road, a short flight. This is the version that fits inside a beach holiday without costing two days of it.

- The Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx

Tour Plan
1
After breakfast you will be met with our representative to pick you up from your accommodation to Hurghada airport to fly to Cairo.
2
Upon arrival you will picked up from the airport with our tour guide and start the day tour.
3
Your first stop will be at one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and they are truly awe-inspiring. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the largest pyramid in the world, and it is estimated to have taken over 20 years to build. The pyramids are also surrounded by the Sphinx, a mysterious creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human.
4
Lunch meal will be served at local restaurant with panoramic view of the Pyramids.
5
Then, head to the Egyptian Museum to start your day tour, which is the largest museum of Egyptian antiquities in the world. It houses over 120,000 artifacts, dating from the Prehistoric Period to the Greco-Roman Era. And it is home to some of the most famous artifacts in the world, including the Tutankhamun exhibit, which houses the young king's tomb and its treasures.
6
The day will proceed as you head to Khan el-Khalili, which is a centuries-old bazaar located in the heart of Islamic Cairo. It is a maze of narrow streets and alleyways lined with shops selling everything from spices and souvenirs to traditional Egyptian handicrafts.
7
Later, the private vehicle will transfer you to Cairo airport, and upon arrival in Hurghada you will be met and transferred to your hotel.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the Cairo day trip from Hurghada?
About eight hours from hotel pickup to being dropped back. That covers the flights each way, Giza, the Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum, with a private air-conditioned car between them.
What is included in the price?
Return domestic flights from Hurghada, hotel pickup and drop-off, entrance fees, a professional guide, lunch and a private air-conditioned car. Tipping is the only thing not included.
Is it worth flying to Cairo for one day?
Hurghada to Cairo is about 450 km. By road that is most of the day in each direction; by air it leaves enough time at Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum to be a visit rather than a photo stop. Both sit on the same plateau, which is what makes one day enough.
Which museum does the trip visit?
The Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza, not the older Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. It holds the complete Tutankhamun collection, and it is on the same plateau as the pyramids.
Do I need a visa or extra documents for the domestic flight?
It is a domestic flight within Egypt, so no additional visa is involved. Bring the passport you entered Egypt on — it is required at the airport.
