Experience Cairo's world-famous pharaonic landmarks on a personalized schedule with this full-day private excursion from Hurghada to Cairo and Giza by private air-conditioned vehicle. Designed for Red Sea travelers who prefer door-to-door privacy and flexible pacing, this day tour includes a private licensed Egyptologist guide, all entrance tickets, and 1 freshly prepared lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo (breakfast and dinner are not included; guests are advised to request an early-morning breakfast box from their Hurghada hotel reception).
