Enjoy your lunch
The further course of the excursion will take you to the great pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus. The pyramid tour ends at the Sphinx and the temple in its vicinity. Due to the convoy, the journey from Hurghada to Cairo (One Way ) can take between 6 and 8 hours, as all buses and cars must be driven with a police car for safety reasons.
Pass by: Since all buses have to wait for the convoy leaving Cairo for Hurghada at the end of the day, you will make one or two of the following stops: characteristic visits to the Papyrus Museum and the Essential Oil Factory. These two attractions will familiarize you with the ancient Egyptian techniques of making papyrus and essences. These two interesting visits will increase your knowledge of daily life in ancient Egypt and will also help the Egyptian farmers who work in these sectors and preserve these very old handicrafts from ancient Egypt.

Traveler reviews
Perfect trip
Our trip to Cairo was absolutely unforgettable and exceeded all expectations. Visiting the pyramids in Giza was a dream come true — seeing these incredible ancient wonders with our own eyes was truly breathtaking. The atmosphere, the history, and the views were simply magical. The highlight of the tour was also the new Egyptian Museum, which is modern, beautifully designed, and filled with extraordinary artifacts. The exhibits are presented in an impressive and engaging way, making the history of ancient Egypt come alive. Tutankhamun’s treasures and the massive statues were especially fascinating. Everything during the trip was perfectly organized: transportation, timing, and the guide’s knowledge and professionalism. Our guide was friendly, passionate, and shared many interesting stories and historical facts that made the experience even more special. I highly recommend this Cairo tour to anyone visiting Egypt. It was an amazing combination of history, culture, and unforgettable experiences. Definitely one of the best trips we have ever had!
