Private Day Trip to Cairo – Pyramids, Sphinx & Grand Egyptian Museum
Discover Cairo on a private Cairo day trip from Hurghada with door-to-door transport in an air-conditioned car or minibus and your own English-speaking Egyptologist. This Hurghada to Cairo by car excursion is designed for couples, families and small groups who prefer privacy, flexible pacing and personal guidance instead of travelling on a shared coach.
Your Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum tour combines Cairo’s essential ancient-Egypt highlights in one focused programme. Explore the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) with a confirmed timed-entry ticket, then visit the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, the panoramic viewpoint, the Great Sphinx of Giza and the Valley Temple of Khafre. The itinerary concentrates on Giza and GEM, keeping it clearly different from our specialist Saqqara and Dahshur route.
This private Cairo excursion from Hurghada includes hotel transfers, a private vehicle, an Egyptologist, listed entrance fees, lunch, water and soft drinks during the road journey. Prices start from 105€ per person for eight travellers, with daily departures also available from El Gouna, Makadi Bay, Sahl Hasheesh, Soma Bay, Safaga, El Quseir, Marsa Alam and Port Ghalib. Exact collection and return times are confirmed according to your resort, traffic conditions and the museum entry slot.
