Itinerary of Private day trip to Cairo & pyramids from Hurghada:
Pick up
A private tour from Hurghada to Cairo offers an unforgettable journey into the heart of ancient Egypt. Departing from Hurghada, you’ll travel in comfort through the Egyptian landscape to reach Cairo. The drive takes approximately 5 to 6 hours, and you can enjoy the scenic views along the way.
Giza Pyramids Complex
Were it not for the extraordinary efforts of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs and their uniquely skilled builders, one of the world’s greatest wonders would never have come into existence between 2600 and 2500 BC. The Giza pyramid complex hosts the Great Pyramid, the grandest of them all, along with two other no-less-great pyramids, the Great Sphinx, six small pyramids, and the Valley Temple.
The Great Pyramid
The Great Pyramid of Khufu draws visitors from all over the world, as it is the last surviving wonder of the ancient seven. This remarkable monument was built around 2600 BC, took roughly 20 years to complete, and was made up of some 2.3 million stones.
The Great Sphinx
The Great Sphinx has a truly one-of-a-kind appearance, combining the body of a lion with the head of an ancient historical figure, measuring 73 metres in length and 20 metres in height.
The Valley Temple
The Valley Temple was added to the Giza Plateau during the 26th century BC, and is no less historically valuable than the plateau’s other landmarks. Its importance lies in the role it played in one of ancient Egypt’s most distinctive practices: the mummification process.
Lunch Time
During the tour, a lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo introduces you to traditional Egyptian cuisine.
Your choice of museum
Before heading back, you visit one of Cairo’s two great museums — you choose which when you book.
The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir opened in 1902 and holds more than 120,000 pieces across two floors, including the royal mummies and the Tanis treasures. It sits in the centre of Cairo, on Tahrir Square.
The Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza is the largest archaeological museum in the world dedicated to a single civilisation. Its Grand Staircase is lined with royal statues, and the Tutankhamun galleries hold the complete collection from the boy king’s tomb — over 5,000 objects shown together for the first time since 1922.
