Day Trip to Cairo from Hurghada

In the early morning, you will be picked up from Hurghada for your day trip to Cairo by private air-conditioned vehicle. In Cairo your personal Egyptology tour guide awaits you, who will show you the following sights:

The Pyramids of Giza

The 3 famous pyramids of Giza are the last surviving wonder of the ancient world. They were about 2600 BC. Built on a large limestone plateau.

The Pyramid of Cheops is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids and is therefore also known as the “Great Pyramid”. It is the highest pyramid in the world, 147 m high and was built as a tomb for the Egyptian king Cheops.

We will admire this biggest pyramid of the world first. This is followed by a visit to the pyramid of Chephren and the Mykerinos pyramid.
Then we drive to a plateau, from which you have a beautiful panoramic view of the three pyramids of Giza.

The Sphinx

The Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a man and lies with a length of approx. 73 m and a height of approx. 20 m before the Khafre pyramid.

After visiting the pyramids, fortify yourself with an oriental lunch. Then visit:

The Egyptian Museum

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo is the world’s largest museum of ancient Egyptian treasures and houses a unique collection of finds from 5,000 years of Egyptian history. Particularly impressive are the famous golden treasures of Tut-Ankh-Amun. It would open in 1902 for visitors.

After your Cairo day trip, you will be returned to your hotel in Hurghada.
