Hurghada Day Trip to Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Museum and lunch

5.Hurghada Day Trip to Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Museum and lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 820 reviews · 18 hours · from $93

Leave Hurghada around 2 AM for Cairo with an air-conditioned vehicle, an Egyptologist guide, lunch, and entry to the Giza Plateau and Egyptian Museum. Walk around the Great Pyramid, see the Sphinx and Valley Temple, then spend about two hours with ancient Egyptian artifacts. Guides may include Ahmed, Bassant, Ehab, Michael, or Ayman.

“The tour was wonderful and very interesting. Our guide, Ayman Fawzy, provided us with plenty of information and fascinating details about each site we visited — it was really great to have him with us. By the end of the day, we couldn’t visit the souk due to time constraints. Given how long the rest of the visits take (even with a quick lunch), I’m not sure it’s really feasible anyway — this part might need some adjustment. The trip is quite long, running from 1 a.m. to 11 p.m., but it’s absolutely worth it.”
