Frequently Asked Questions – Cairo Day Trip from Hurghada by Plane

Cairo Day Trip with Memnon Tours – Well-Organized and Highly Informative
"As a family with three children, we booked a day trip from Makadi Bay to Cairo by domestic flight – and would make the same decision again without hesitation. The flight saved time and energy, and the entire process was smoothly and professionally organized. Our guide Jakob – an Egyptologist and Germanist – was outstanding: friendly, knowledgeable, and highly adaptable to our interests. We chose to enter the Great Pyramid of Cheops – steep, narrow, and hot, but an unforgettable experience. If you're looking to explore Cairo in a single day without feeling like you're on a group tour, Memnon Tours is an excellent choice. Highly recommended – even with children."

"We took a day trip with Memnon Reisen from Hurghada to Cairo. We departed at 5:00 AM and returned at 10:30 PM. The transfer went perfectly using a private car. In Cairo, we were greeted by Markus – a very friendly person with outstanding knowledge of Cairo, the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum. He really caters to your wishes. We visited the market in Old Cairo, then the Pyramids, had lunch, then the Egyptian Museum. The €335 per person was worth it – no large group, but just Markus who really explained everything, always the same driver and car. Many thanks to Memnon Reisen for this wonderful day."

"We (a family with three children) took a day trip from Makadi Bay to Cairo by domestic flight – and we would do it again in a heartbeat. Memnon Tours organized everything exceptionally well. Our guide Jakob (an Egyptologist and Germanist!) was fantastic – friendly, very knowledgeable, and flexible. We opted for the Great Pyramid of Giza – narrow, steep, hot, but absolutely breathtaking. The city tour was a great mix of well-known sights and a few less touristy spots. If you want to experience Cairo in a day without feeling like you're on a group tour, Memnon Tours is the right choice. Highly recommended – even for families with children."
Barbara Theisejans
"Our private two-day trip to Cairo and Giza by plane was perfectly organized from start to finish. We were picked up from our hotel in Soma Bay and driven to Hurghada Airport. Our guide Essam and driver Khalil were already waiting upon arrival in Cairo. They led and drove us safely through Cairo for two days. We went directly to the Pyramids, visited the burial chamber of the Great Pyramid, saw the Sphinx up close, then the Bent and Red Pyramids. The next morning we visited Saqqara and its tombs, the Coptic Quarter and the Egyptian Museum. Essam entertained us both days in a very engaging and friendly manner. This was our second trip with Memnon Reisen – we wholeheartedly recommend them!"
