Full-day tour to Cairo from Hurghada with pyramids and museum

Excellent

4.3/5

205 reviews

Get ready for a day packed with ancient wonders on this history-drenched full-day guided tour. You’ll visit some of Egypt’s most iconic landmarks, including the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the treasure-filled Egyptian Museum.

After an early start, you’ll arrive in Giza, home to one of Egypt’s seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites. With your expert local guide, you’ll learn about the Great Pyramid of Giza, built for the Pharaoh Cheops, followed by the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. Then, stop by the Great Sphinx, carved directly from the bedrock and sitting proudly on the Giza Plateau.

After a tasty lunch, you’ll head into central Cairo to visit the world-renowned Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. Its exceptional treasures include the mummies and the gilded mask of Yuya and Thuya - found in the Valley of the Kings and remarkable for their extraordinary preservation and lifelike features. The museum is home to the largest collection of pharaonic artefacts. It’s absolutely packed with ancient treasures – think glittering jewellery, ancient mummies, and statues that have stood the test of time. You’ll have plenty of time to wander around and soak it all in.

    Enjoyed file trip which was extra so not included. Got put on polish tour(we dont speak polish) after booking an English tour. We had no idea was happening we ended up going round museum on our own. Toilets in museum are not usable and won't even let you in unless you tip. Day felt really dragged out stop twice on way there! pyramids were the last on the list and after being picked up at 1am getting to pyramids at bout 3pm no one felt enthusiastic any more. You constantly get badgered by sellar

    The day was amazing, however it was too long. The coach was not that comfortable as the seats were to close together.

    Visiting the Pyramid & Sphinx was a great experience and we have fantastic photos, visiting the old Cairo museum (my second visit) was disappointing because so many treasures are no longer on display, I had hoped to visit the new museum. Lunch and the opportunity for a Nile boat ride was great. The advertised 18 hour excursion took 22.5 hours and our guide expressed surprise because we made it back much earlier than usual! Although a very tiring day I consider this excursion to be good value.
