2-Day Private Cairo Tour & The Grand Egyptian Museum from Hurghada by Flight
Grand Egyptian Museum & Pyramids of Giza
Start your adventure with a private transfer from your hotel in Hurghada to Hurghada International Airport. Enjoy a comfortable, scenic drive as you make your way to the airport. After a smooth check-in, board your short flight to Cairo—a quick 1-hour journey that gives you a glimpse of Egypt’s desert landscapes.
Upon landing at Cairo International Airport, your professional Egyptologist guide will meet you and accompany you for the day’s exploration of Egypt’s timeless wonders.
The first stop on your journey is the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), a modern marvel housing over 100,000 ancient Egyptian artifacts. As you explore the museum, you’ll encounter Tutankhamun’s Treasures, including the famous golden mask, intricate jewelry, and other precious items from the boy king’s tomb.
Your guide will provide rich historical context, explaining the significance of the artifacts and the fascinating history of ancient Egypt. The museum also boasts royal mummies, statues of pharaohs, and an impressive collection of ancient Egyptian art.
Afterward, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Indulge in koshari, a popular dish of rice, lentils, and pasta, falafel (deep-fried chickpea patties), moussaka, and stuffed grape leaves. This break offers a perfect opportunity to enjoy the authentic flavors of Egyptian cuisine and discuss the day’s experiences.
In the afternoon, travel to the Giza Plateau, home to the legendary Pyramids of Giza. These awe-inspiring monuments date back over 4,500 years and have captured the imaginations of people around the world. Visit the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the three, and the only surviving wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Your Egyptologist guide will explain the mysteries surrounding the construction of the pyramids and the significance of their alignment with the stars. You’ll also visit the Pyramid of Khafre, known for its preserved limestone casing, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three.
Next, you’ll encounter the Great Sphinx, the massive statue with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh, believed to represent Khafre. Your guide will share intriguing stories about the Sphinx’s origins and its role as a guardian of the pyramids.
After a day filled with history and ancient wonders, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Cairo or Giza to relax and reflect on the day’s experiences.

Explore Old Cairo
After a restful night in your hotel, enjoy a hearty breakfast before your private Egyptologist guide picks you up for your second day of exploration. Your first stop will be the Citadel of Salah al-Din, a historical fortification built in the 12th century to protect Cairo from Crusader invasions.
The Citadel offers stunning panoramic views of Cairo and is home to several impressive structures, including the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, also known as the Alabaster Mosque due to its extensive use of alabaster stone. This mosque is one of the most iconic landmarks in Cairo, with its grand dome and elegant minarets offering an unforgettable view of the city.
Next, you’ll visit the Hanging Church (Saint Sergius and Bacchus), one of Cairo’s oldest and most famous Christian landmarks. Situated in Coptic Cairo, the church is renowned for its unique architectural design and its location above a Roman gatehouse, which gives it the “hanging” name.
The church is a must-see for anyone interested in Egypt’s Christian heritage, and your guide will provide a detailed explanation of its historical significance, including its connections to Egypt’s early Christian period.
After this enriching visit, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, where you can savor more iconic Egyptian dishes. This is a great opportunity to relax and digest the historical sites you’ve visited so far.
In the afternoon, your next stop will be Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of Cairo’s oldest and most famous markets. This vibrant market has been a bustling trading hub for centuries and is filled with shops offering everything from spices, perfumes, jewelry, and clothing to intricate Egyptian crafts and souvenirs.
As you wander through the labyrinth of narrow alleyways, you’ll experience the vibrant atmosphere, the scents of exotic spices, and the colorful displays of local goods. It’s the perfect place to shop for unique souvenirs to remember your Cairo adventure.
Finally, after a full day of exploration, you’ll be transferred back to Cairo International Airport for your return flight to Hurghada.
Upon landing in Hurghada, a private transfer will take you back to your hotel, bringing your 2-day Cairo adventure to a close. With rich memories of Egypt’s iconic landmarks and a deeper understanding of its ancient culture, you’ll return with a newfound appreciation for this incredible destination.
