Overnight Cairo Tour from Hurghada Pick-up from your Hotel in Hurghada Your professional and friendly Egypt Excursions tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Hurghada in a modern, comfortable air-conditioned vehicle ready to start the trip of a lifetime! From Hurghada we'll drive in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach to the heart of Egypt - Cairo, where we begin our tour of this ancient city steeped in history.

Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus Also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops, the Great Pyramid is the oldest and largest of the Pyramids of Giza. Composed of over 2.3 million blocks of granite weighing 25-80 tonnes each, the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the only one that still remains largely intact, the Great Pyramid never fails to astound and amaze. Built over a 20 year period, the Great Pyramid initially stood at 146 meters, making it the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years.

Our highly-trained Egyptologist tour guide will be able to give you any information you need on the Pyramids including supposed construction methods (nobody really knows for sure), materials used, labour used and why the pyramids were built. There are three known chambers inside the Great Pyramid, the lowest was cut into the bedrock beneath the pyramid, with the Kings chamber and Queens chamber higher up in the structure. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only pyramid in Egypt known to contain both ascending and descending passages. The main part of the Giza complex is a set of building that include two mortuary temples, three smaller pyramids for Khufu's wives, an even smaller pyramid, a raised causeway connecting the two temples and smaller tombs for nobles. Visit the Sphinx on our Cairo Sightseeing Tour from Hurghada Translated as "The Terrifying One" but more commonly referred to as the Sphinx, this limestone statue of a mythical creature with a lions body and human head stands on the west bank of the Nile in Giza. Believed to have been built by the ancient Egyptians of the Old Kingdom during the reign of Pharaoh Khafra around 2558 BC (the Pharaoh who built the second pyramid), this amazing statue stands 20m high and 73 meters long and is the oldest known monumental sculpture in the world. Throughout Egyptian history the Sphinx has been revered with ancient Egyptians looking up at it with "divinity", and even to today it remains shrouded in mystery, with basic information like when it was built and by whom still debated. There are even theories of Kings being buried in it! The Sphinx is an awesome sight and rich in history, over its lifetime being buried in sand for hundreds of years and then dug back out. There are also stories of Napoleon's soldiers shooting cannonballs at the great Sphinx and breaking off it's nose. Enjoy Lunch at a Local Restaurant We'll stop our tour of Cairo from Hurghada to have a delicious buffet lunch in the heart of Cairo, offering a wide range if options including vegetarian options. Khafre's Temples From the magnificent sphinx we'll make the short trip to Khafre's temple. At the base of Khafre's pyramid, the second tallest of the Pyramids of Giza, lies Khafres temple complex. These have remained in much better condition that other temples in the area and is the best example for us to explore. Built from megalithic blocks, weighing up to 400 tonnes each, this beautiful temple houses five storage chambers, an entrance hall, a columned court and an inner sanctuary to explore. The interior of the temple has been remarkably well preserved and the temple of Giza are an amazing sight that have to be seen. Egyptian Museum Tour

Inside this massive and world-famous museum you'll find the most important pieces of Egyptian history including Pharaonic antiques and the treasure of Egypt's best known King, Tutankhamen. This massive museum in Tahir Square was established in 1902 and includes seven floors filled with fascinating artifacts such as two statues of King Tutankhamen made of cedar wood and covered in fine gold, a statue of King Akhenaton, Ushabtis statues that belonged to the Nubian kings, a mummy of a child and a small plychrome glass vase. During the Egyptian revolution of 2011 the museum was broken into and two mummies were destroyed as well as around 50 objects being lost and several damaged. Since then 25 of those objects have been successfully recovered. The Egyptian Museum spans across 2 floors, the ground floor housing numerous objects including papyrus with written Greek, Latin, Arabic and ancient Egyptian, and coins, again not only Egyptian ones but also Greek, Roman and Islamic, highlighting Egypt's rich history. The ground floor also houses large statues, tables and coffins. On the first floor you'll find artifacts from the final two dynasties of Egypt including items from the tombs of Pharohs Tutmosis III, Thutmosis IV, Amenophis II, Hatshepsut, and the courtier Maiherpri, as well as many artifacts from the Valley of the Kings, in particular the material from the intact tombs of Tutankhamen and Psusennes I. Two special rooms contain a number of mummies of kings and other royal family members of the New Kingdom. The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities is a fascinating place that allows you to see all the antiques that would have been buried in the ancient kings of Egypt's tombs and pyramids as well as some of the mummified kings themselves. Saladin Citadel

Overnight in Cairo After an exciting day exploring some of Cairo's most iconic and historically significant sights you'll settle down for the night in a comfortable hotel in the center of Cairo. Day 2 Breakfast in a hotel A busy day needs to be started on a full belly, so you'll start with a delicious breakfast at your hotel in Cairo before being met by your guide to continue your 2 day tour of Cairo from Hurghada. Saladin Citadel is a medieval Islamic fortification in Cairo built on top of Mokattam hill. The Citadel was fortified in around 1176 CE to protect it from the Crusaders, with the eventual aim of creating 1 massive wall circling Cairo and Fustat. Remaining the heart of Egyptian government right up to the 19th century, the magnificent citadel is as imposing as it is beautiful. To po provide fresh water to the any animals and human occupants a 85m deep well was dug which can still be seen today on our tour. Khan El Khalili Bazaar

To finish off our tour of Old Cairo we'll visit the biggest market in the Bazaar district, one of the city's main tourist attractions. Originally the site of Saffron Tomb, a burial site of the Fatimid caliphs, the site was the center of great economic activity in the 14th century despite being ravaged by the Black Death. By the late 15th century the site of Khan El-Khalili market had become the major center of foreign trade, which among many other things included the sale of slaves. During the reign of Egypt's last important sultan the complex was rebuilt with monumental gates and perpendicular streets resembling the great Ottoman cities where the most precious goods were traded at the time. The most famous sights of the beautiful market are its massive ornate gates and upper stories with iron grilled windows for the merchants rooms. Today the market hasnt changed a great deal, except foreign merchants have been replaced by Egyptians geared towards the tourism market. This is a great place so find an authentic and original holiday present for yourself or a loved one. You'll also come across the market's many shops, coffee houses, restaurants and street food vendors offering fantastic quality Arabic coffee and shisha. Back to the your Hotel in Hurghada After your second day exploring the magnificent city of Cairo and it's ancient treasures, we'll travel back to your hotel in Hurghada in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach, arriving around 10 pm. This is a fantastic tour that allows you to escape Hurghada for 2 days of your holiday and really explore the magnificent city of Cairo and it's ancient history that's caught the imagination of the world for thousands of years.

Cairo 2 Days Private Tour from Hurghada by A/C Vehicle
I want to say that my family and I, 2 adults and 3 children, had a fantastic time going to Cairo from Hurghada. Yes the wake up time was very early, 1am, but it was all worth. When we arrived in Cairo we were met by Will, the tour guide, who was absolutely amazing, his knowledge was first class and his awareness of what we needed to see and together with what we needed to know. In all you can not falter something that was perfect. Many thanks, Stephen and my family :-)

Cairo 2 Days Private Tour from Hurghada by A/C Vehicle
Our trip was absolutely amazing! We were so well taken care of and felt so safe. I have to admit we were skeptical to go to Cairo by Coach, but everything was arranged so well. Both the drivers were outstanding and I felt like they were our bodyguards. As for our tour guide...where to start. Will was so wonderful. Not only did he teach us so much about the history of Egypt at the museum and pyramids, but I really felt like I would never have seen Cairo the way I did with him. He made us feel so comfortable right from the start and let us know all the ins and outs and dos and dont along the way. Also, the timing of everything was perfect. We were never waiting around and the drivers would always pull up out of nowhere while other groups were waiting. The drive from Hurghada is quite long...but you are in good hands! I have no regrets and highly recommend them! We also made friends with the other passengers as it was a small group so you won't feel neglected. This day was one of the most memorable of my whole trip. This experience is HIGHLY recommended!
