2 Days Cairo Trip from Hurghada by Vehicle Itinerary
Your journey begins with a pickup from your hotel in Hurghada. Travel by private air-conditioned car toward Cairo, where your Egyptologist guide will meet you and begin the first day of sightseeing.
Giza Pyramids Complex:
Start at the Giza Plateau, home to the three principal pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. Built more than 4,500 years ago during Egypt’s Old Kingdom, these monumental structures served as royal tombs and demonstrate the engineering capabilities of ancient Egyptian builders.
Great Sphinx:
Continue to the Great Sphinx, carved from a single limestone formation on the Giza Plateau. The monument combines the body of a lion with the head of a pharaoh and is generally associated with King Khafre. Dating to around 2500 BC, it remains one of the most recognizable monuments of ancient Egypt.
Valley Temple:
Visit the Valley Temple associated with Khafre’s pyramid complex. Built from large limestone and granite blocks, the temple formed part of the king’s funerary complex. Its well-preserved structure provides a closer look at Old Kingdom funerary architecture.
After the Giza visits, stop for lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to Saqqara.
Saqqara Step Pyramid:
Explore the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, one of the most important developments in the history of pyramid construction. Designed by the architect Imhotep, the monument consists of six ascending tiers and is recognized as the earliest large-scale pyramid built entirely in stone.
After the sightseeing program, transfer to your selected hotel in Cairo for check-in and an overnight stay.
After breakfast, check out from your hotel and continue exploring Cairo’s museum, historic fortifications, and Islamic landmarks.
Egyptian Museum:
Visit the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, with collections covering different periods of ancient Egyptian history. Its collections include monumental statues and objects connected with the pharaohs, providing a broad overview of Egypt’s archaeological heritage.
Salah El Din Citadel:
Continue to the Salah El Din Citadel, a major medieval fortress built in the 12th century to strengthen Cairo’s defenses. Over the centuries, the citadel became closely connected with the city’s political history and remained an important seat of power.
Mohamed Ali Mosque:
Inside the citadel, visit the Mohamed Ali Mosque, widely known as the Alabaster Mosque. Its large Ottoman-inspired domes, tall minarets, marble surfaces, and spacious interior make it one of Cairo’s most recognizable Islamic landmarks.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before continuing through historic Cairo.
Al Muizz Street:
Walk along Al Muizz Street, a historic thoroughfare associated with Fatimid Cairo. The street is lined with centuries-old mosques, houses, and other Islamic monuments, offering an opportunity to experience the architectural heritage of historic Cairo.
Khan El Khalili Bazaar:
End the city sightseeing at Khan El Khalili, Cairo’s famous historic bazaar. Browse traditional shops and stalls offering spices, jewelry, crafts, and souvenirs while experiencing one of the city’s best-known commercial districts.
After completing the tour, your private driver will take you back to Hurghada in a comfortable air-conditioned car, bringing your two-day journey to an end.
This two-day itinerary takes you from your Hurghada hotel to Cairo and back in a private air-conditioned vehicle, with one overnight stay in Cairo at a hotel in your selected category.

What travellers say after touring Egypt with us.
I went with my family on this trip for twelve days. The agency was very respectful with our preferences and budget. The transport was scheduled and we got the opportunity to visit various monuments along a marvelous guide called Ahmed Nasser.
Egypt tour group handled our 12 day tour perfectly. I can’t say enough of how all the arrangements we set up from the moment we got to Cairo airport there was always someone there to meet us. We transferred through 2 airports 4 cities and mutable hotels and never had to wait.
Excellent tour company! We did three tours. One day touring some of the Pyramids, a day trip to Alexandria and an epic 2 day trip from Cairo to Sinai to climb Mount Sinai. Excellent tour company!
Marian was absolutely wonderful!! She was a wealth of knowledge . She guided us to important parts of each temple and tomb.Letting us know what the meaning for the particular inscription.
