Travel from Hurghada to Cairo and Giza on a private day trip by comfortable air-conditioned van. This full-day experience combines two of Egypt's major attractions: the Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM).
Your journey begins with an early pickup from your hotel in Hurghada. Travel comfortably by private van to Cairo, with stops along the way as needed.
Upon arrival in Giza, meet your licensed Egyptologist guide and explore the Giza Plateau. See the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, and visit the Great Sphinx. Your guide will explain the history, architecture, and significance of these ancient monuments.
Continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum, where you can explore its extensive collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts and learn more about Egypt's pharaonic civilization.
After sightseeing, enjoy time for a meal or refreshments at your own expense before beginning the private journey back to Hurghada.
This tour is designed for travelers who want to visit Cairo's most important ancient and modern museum attractions in one day, while traveling by private van rather than joining a large group.
