Cairo from Hurghada - the Pyramids in One Day
1
Day
Overview
Midnight to late the same night, and we will not pretend otherwise. But it is the only way to stand at Giza and be back at the Red Sea the same night, and for a great many people that trade is worth making.
The day covers the three pyramids and the Sphinx on the plateau, and a museum. Which one we agree with you beforehand, depending on what interests you: the Grand Egyptian Museum below the plateau, where Tutankhamun’s complete burial assemblage is shown together for the first time since it was found, or the older collection at Tahrir Square with its own dense atmosphere. If the day allows, both. And if you would rather spend the time in the Islamic city instead, we build the day differently.
Private car, private guide, no group waiting on you. Flights from Hurghada are possible instead of the road and cut the day almost in half - ask us and we will quote both.
Slower, or differently - always possible. Tell us how you like to travel and we will rebuild the day around it.
Most of the day goes on two places. Here is how long the Grand Egyptian Museum actually needs. Weighing up whether to make the drive at all? Here is the honest case either way.
One day in Cairo is a lot of travelling for a short visit. If the city itself interests you, four days in Cairo and Giza covers the same ground without the flight at both ends of it.

Trip Highlights
Tour Itinerary
Arriving early matters more here than anywhere. The three pyramids, the panoramic point where all of them line up, and the Sphinx with the valley temple of Khafre.
The full Tutankhamun collection, the hanging obelisk and the grand staircase. Your guide picks a route through it - the building is far too large to see whole.
A break at a local restaurant before the return.
If the day is running well, an hour in the old bazaar and a coffee at El Fishawi.
The drive back, arriving late at night.

Midnight to late the same night. Is that really necessary?
By road, yes. Hurghada to Cairo is a long drive in each direction and we would rather describe the day honestly than make it sound shorter.
Enquiry
Dr. Sherif Azab-Els reads and answers these himself, usually within a day. An enquiry costs you nothing and commits you to nothing.
