2 Day Cairo Trip from Hurghada – Overnight Tour by Private Car
Prefer a later start? This relaxed 2 day Cairo trip from Hurghada departs at approximately 11:00 AM by private car or minibus, avoiding the 3:00 AM alarm required by the early-start itinerary. It is designed for couples, families and private groups who want an overnight Cairo tour without flights, shared coaches or compulsory shopping stops.
After the drive to Cairo and a planned comfort break, spend the first evening exploring Khan el-Khalili Bazaar and El Moez Street with your English-speaking Egyptologist. Following your hotel stay and breakfast, day two focuses on the Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx, Valley Temple and Grand Egyptian Museum. The museum visit uses a confirmed entry slot, and the order of the day may be adjusted to official opening hours, traffic and ticket availability.
This private Cairo tour with an 11 AM departure is available from Hurghada, El Gouna, Makadi Bay, Sahl Hasheesh, Soma Bay, Safaga, El Quseir and Marsa Alam. Prices start from 270€ per person, including the hotel, breakfast, two lunches, listed entrance fees, private transfers and an Egyptologist. Choose this programme for a comfortable start; choose the separate early-start tour if you also want the Citadel and Coptic Cairo.
