After visiting the Pyramids of Giza, visit the Great Sphinx, by far the largest surviving sphinx. It consists of a human head on the body of a lion. The Sphinx was carved from the remains of a limestone hill that served as a quarry for the Great Pyramid of Cheops. Felucca cruise on the Nile is available for a fee.
Around 4am you will be picked up from your hotel. Upon arrival in Cairo, you will be met by your guide who will accompany you throughout the tour.
Meet your Egyptology tour guide at the museum to begin your day. Visit the state-of-the-art Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the world's largest archaeological museum with over 100,000 artifacts, or the Ancient Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. Select your preferred museum during the booking process.

The further course of the excursion takes you to the great pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus. The tour of the pyramids ends at the Sphinx and the temple surrounding it. At the end of the day, if time permits, you will have the opportunity to go shopping before embarking on the return journey to Hurghada.
If the return flight from Cairo is late in the evening, we will spend some time visiting the London of the Middle Ages (Khan el Klalili market), Old Cairo, recently added to the UNESCO World Heritage list, or Cairo Festival City, an extra-large shopping mall (air-conditioned), one of the largest in the Middle East. Full of the most famous international brands, restaurants, cafes and a huge colorful dancing fountain, where you will be drawn to Cairo's chic, modern nightlife.
Upon arrival at the airport, you will be transferred to your hotel in an air-conditioned car.
If we have time, we can make two characteristic visits to the Papyrus Museum and the Essential Oil Factory. These two attractions will familiarize you with the ancient Egyptian techniques of making papyrus and essences. These two interesting visits will increase your knowledge of daily life in ancient Egypt and will also be helpful to the Egyptian farmers who work in these sectors and preserve these very old handicrafts from ancient Egypt. (These visits depend on the time remaining.)
Afterwards, your mind needs some rest. You can, for example, relax with a boat trip on the Nile and discover Cairo from the water.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Visiting the Pyramids was something we have always wanted to do, and it did not disappoint. They are something else. If you get the chance, go! You won't regret it. We flew as the bus trip takes way too long. This trip by flight started at 0430 for us, and we got back at 2330, so still a very long day. I would not advise taking younger children, even when flying. Our guide 'Jimmy' ( Jamal) was a fountain of knowledge and was so much fun as well. He gave good advice as well. For example you can pay to go into one of the larger pyramids but he advised trying the gallery in the queens pyramid first as it is free and shorter. He was right, most of the people on the tour found they could not have completed the bigger gallery and would have wasted their money. When you are at the pyramids or the sphinx don' let any of the locals take your phone to take your picture as they want money to give you your phone back. We took the horse and buggy ride to the viewpoint recommended to take he best pictures, but you can take a camel if you want. This is extra but you can get good pictures. After lunch in a nice Giza hotel we had 3 hours plus in the new museum. I think I could have spent three weeks there. It is amazing, and again our guide knew everything about it. The mask of Tutankhamen ids a must but there is so much more to see. After the museum we had the chance to take a boat trip on the Nile in Cairo, for an extra charge. This was a really nice way to finish the day. Just to mention you do go right through the middle of Cairo on this trip, and that in itself is an eye opener. You might think you have seen crazy driving ( Italy, Türkiye, etc) but believe me they are nothing on Cairo. When you are being held up on a 16 lane motorway by two old ladies walking up the road in front of you while motorbikes come down the road in the wrong direction you realise this place is special. This is not a cheap excursion, the day is long but I really can recommend it.

Absolutely fantastic Cairo excursion from Hurghada! ✨ The early-morning flight was well worth it to visit the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum. We finished the day with a beautiful sunset river ride along the Nile. A special mention to our tour guide, Mr Falcon, who was brilliant, extremely knowledgeable and made the whole experience even more enjoyable by bringing Egypt’s incredible history to life. An unforgettable experience that we would highly recommend! 🇪🇬

Wij hebben geboekt via dutch hurghada tours. Wij hebben maandag een appje gestuurd over dat wij een excursie wouden dinsdag langsgekomen om alles te regelen. Dag erna naar cairo met een gids die nederlands sprak. Hij legt alles goed uit geeft je je ruimte neemt zijn tijd en weet echt waar die over praat zeker een aanrader!

Today we made an incredible day trip from Hurghada to Cairo: the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, a delicious lunch, the Egyptian Museum, a sunset boat ride on the Nile—and back to Hurghada in the evening by plane. To be honest, at first I had quite a bit of distrust and skepticism—especially considering my previous experience traveling in Egypt. I traveled with my daughter, and it was especially important to me that everything was organized safely and comfortably. But in the end, we were very satisfied! Yes, the hygiene in some places could be better, but the friendliness of the staff, the delicious food, the excellent organization, and, of course, the incredible history of Ancient Egypt made this day truly special. The pyramids and the Sphinx in person are a completely different experience. The sunset over the Nile was a beautiful end to this busy day. I don't think I'll return to Egypt again, but we will remember this day with my daughter forever. ❤️🇪🇬 Thank you, Mr. Falken!

He is forcing me to give five stars, the guide is next to me and won't leave me alone if I don't give five stars for everything, the tour isn't bad, I took the English guide because I understand some but not everything, but he was doing his own thing, he got angry because I didn't understand everything, he asked my partner if she was there for him or for me when she was just translating for me, in general I give it three stars, I don't know if I would do it again, and the fact that he is drowning me with the review now I don't find that very good, although he did take photos of us, the restaurant was good, you couldn't eat because of the people there. It is my experience.
