The adventure begins in the morning when you are picked up from your hotel in Hurghada and transferred to the airport for a short flight to Cairo. One of the most unforgettable Excursions in Hurghada, this day trip from Hurghada to Cairo and Luxor offers history availing itself at every step. Upon arrival, our friendly Egyptologist guide will meet you outside to greet you and begin the enthralling journey through Cairo. First, you will visit the legendary Pyramids of Giza and the Egyptian Museum, two treasures that are the very essence of any Egypt tour. To make the most of the day, we recommend light cotton clothes, perfect for staying comfortable under the warm Egyptian sun.
From there, you'll be taken by bus to the Giza Plateau. You'll begin your Cairo day tour at the Pyramids of Khufu (Great Pyramid), Khafre (Second Pyramid), and Menkaure (Third Pyramid). You will learn about how they were built and their significance in ancient Egyptian culture.
Next, you will visit the Great Sphinx of Giza—a statue of a lion with a human head that is believed to be over 4,000 years old. Then you'll take a walk through the Valley Temple before heading inside the Great Pyramid itself for a brief tour led by an expert guide. Afterward, enjoy light refreshments at a local cafe before returning to your hotel by bus.
The rest of your first day will be spent at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. The museum houses over 130,000 artifacts from throughout Egypt's history; it is one of the largest museums in the world and contains some of the most famous finds from ancient Egypt.
In the evening, you will be driven to Cairo airport for a flight to Luxor and then meet our representative and transfer to the hotel for an overnight there. This is why it stands out among the top Hurghada day tours, offering a balance of history, culture, and adventure.
