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.

No 3:00 AM alarm. No airport. No rushing. Just the most comfortable way to see Cairo in two days.

What Our Guests Say About the 2 Day Cairo Trip ⭐

★★★★★

“The 11:00 AM departure made such a difference – no early morning stress, a comfortable drive and we arrived in Cairo feeling fresh. Khan el-Khalili in the evening was magical. Day two at the Pyramids and the GEM was everything we hoped for. Memnon Reisen organised everything perfectly.”

“We chose the car option because of the price and we were completely satisfied. The vehicle was comfortable, our guide was excellent and the Pyramids on day two were breathtaking. The GEM was even more impressive than expected. Great value for a 2 day Cairo trip from Hurghada.”

★★★★★

“El Moez Street in the evening was one of the most beautiful walks I have done in Egypt. The old Islamic architecture lit up at night is stunning. Day two at Giza and the GEM completed a perfect two days. Zero shopping stops – exactly as promised.”

★★★★★

“The most relaxed way to see Cairo. No alarm clock at 3:00 AM, a comfortable drive and two full days of sightseeing. The Tutankhamun collection in the GEM is extraordinary. Our guide was passionate and knowledgeable. We will definitely book with Memnon Reisen again.”
