Custom Private Cairo Tour – Build Your Own Itinerary
Create your own private Cairo tour from Hurghada with a private vehicle and an English-speaking Egyptologist. Instead of following a fixed highlights programme, you can build your own Cairo itinerary, choose up to four Cairo or Giza attractions and decide where you want to spend more time.
This custom Cairo day tour is designed for repeat visitors, families and travellers interested in Islamic Cairo, Coptic Cairo, the Giza Pyramids, Saqqara, Dahshur, museums or a Nile boat ride. Your route is confirmed before departure so that driving times, opening hours and ticket requirements remain realistic.
What Can You Include in Your Custom Cairo Tour?
Choose the places that match your interests. Our team checks the route and recommends a practical order for the available day.
- Ancient Egypt: Giza, Saqqara, Dahshur or Memphis
- Museums: Grand Egyptian Museum or Egyptian Museum
- Historic Cairo: Islamic Cairo, Coptic Cairo or the Citadel
- Relaxed experience: Nile boat ride or extra time at selected sites
Private departures are available from Hurghada and nearby Red Sea resorts. The base price starts from 85€ per person for eight travellers and includes private transport, an Egyptologist, lunch, water and soft drinks. Entrance fees are charged separately, so you only pay for the attractions selected for your personal route.
This page is specifically for a tailor-made Cairo excursion, keeping its search intent separate from fixed programmes. If you prefer a pre-planned itinerary with entrance fees included, see our private Cairo day trip by car. For an archaeology-focused route, compare the Saqqara, Dahshur and Giza pyramid tour.
