About this tour

Travel from the Red Sea coast to Egypt's ancient capital on this full-day (1-day) private excursion from Hurghada to Cairo and Giza by private air-conditioned vehicle, exploring the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, the Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx, and Khan El Khalili Bazaar with a private licensed Egyptologist guide. Designed for Red Sea resort guests seeking a private overland day trip to Cairo, this tour includes 1 lunch (breakfast and dinner are not included; guests may request an early breakfast box from their Hurghada hotel).

Depart your Hurghada hotel at 04:00 in a comfortable modern air-conditioned vehicle with two professional drivers (or highway rest stop along the Red Sea–Galala Highway, approx. 5 hours, 460 km), arriving in Cairo at 09:00. Meet your private Egyptologist guide at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square (09:15–11:45) to admire Old, Middle, and New Kingdom masterpieces, followed by a freshly prepared lunch at a local restaurant (12:15–13:15).

In the afternoon, explore the Great Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, the panoramic viewpoint, the Valley Temple, and the Great Sphinx on the Giza Plateau (13:30–16:00), and enjoy a guided walk through Khan El Khalili Bazaar (16:15–17:00) before departing Cairo at 17:00 for the 5-hour return drive to your Hurghada hotel by 22:00. Practical Note: Rated Moderate (ages 6–75) due to the ~5-hour highway journey each way; a neck pillow and comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
