Frequently Asked Questions – 2 Day Cairo Tour from Hurghada
What Our Guests Say About the 2 Day Cairo Tour ⭐
“Two days was absolutely the right choice. Day one at the GEM and Pyramids was overwhelming – we needed the overnight stay just to process it all. Day two in Old Cairo and the Citadel was a completely different experience. Our guide was exceptional on both days. Worth every euro.”
“We did the 2 day Cairo tour as a family and it was the highlight of our entire Egypt holiday. The kids were mesmerised by the Tutankhamun collection. The Coptic Quarter on day two surprised us – so much history we had no idea about. Memnon Reisen handled everything perfectly.”
“The Alabaster Mosque of Mohammed Ali is one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen. And Khan el-Khalili at the end of day two was the perfect finish – authentic, colourful and full of life. No shopping pressure, just a brilliant guide and two unforgettable days.”
“Booking the 2 day version instead of the day trip was the best decision we made in Egypt. You simply cannot do Cairo justice in one day. Memnon Reisen organised everything seamlessly – the hotel, the guide, the transfers. Not a single moment wasted.”
