Cairo Day Trip from Hurghada – The Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx & Egyptian Museum
Full-Day Guided Excursion to Cairo | Bus or Private Transfer Available
About This Tour
The Pyramids of Giza are one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World — and the only one still standing. There is a reason for that. They were built to last an eternity. AMUN BAY's Cairo day trip from Hurghada is the most ambitious excursion we offer, and the one our guests speak about most long after they return home. Departing before dawn, you travel across the Eastern Desert to Cairo — Egypt's magnificent, chaotic, world-historical capital — arriving in time to stand at the base of the Great Pyramid of Khufu and understand, in your body rather than your mind, the true scale of what was built here 4,500 years ago. From the Giza Plateau, your Egyptologist guide leads you to the Great Sphinx, that inscrutable guardian of the necropolis, and then to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square — home to the largest collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts in the world, including the complete treasures of Tutankhamun's tomb. In the museum's golden rooms, surrounded by objects that were sealed for three thousand years before Howard Carter opened the door, history becomes something you can almost touch. Both group bus and private car options are available, making this Cairo experience accessible at multiple price points without compromising on quality.
