2 Days Cairo Tour from Hurghada by plane

Your 2 Days Cairo Tour from Hurghada begins before sunrise with a private transfer to Hurghada Airport for a short domestic flight to Cairo. Upon arrival, your dedicated Egyptologist greets you and sets the pace for a day that seamlessly blends effortless logistics with in-depth storytelling, allowing you to focus on the awe rather than the arrangements.

Giza Pyramids Complex:

Step onto the storied plateau where Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure still command the desert horizon. Built over 4,500 years ago, these royal monuments showcase precision engineering and timeless scale. Your guide unpacks the ancient funerary landscape—satellite pyramids, causeways, and valley temples—so the site clicks into focus.

The Great Pyramid of Cheops:

Face the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Once soaring to ~147 meters and built from millions of limestone blocks, the Great Pyramid distills ambition into stone. Inside and out, its passages and geometry still spark debate—an engineering riddle that has outlived empires.

The Great Sphinx:

Meet Giza’s guardian: a lion’s body fused with a pharaoh’s face. The Sphinx has inspired legends for millennia, from the Dream Stela to modern theories about its builders and purpose. Standing here, you feel the site’s quiet authority as desert winds move across the plateau.

The Valley Temple:

Polished granite, massive limestone blocks, and a layout tied to ritual: this is where purification and mummification rites unfolded for royalty. It’s one of the best-preserved peeks into Old Kingdom mortuary practice you can still walk through today.

Break for a hearty Egyptian lunch at a quality local restaurant, then continue your private tour to Cairo from Hurghada, heading south to the origins of pyramid building.

Saqqara Step Pyramid:

Designed by Imhotep for King Djoser, this six-tiered monument rewrote architectural history. Tombs, courtyards, and ceremonial structures stitch together a blueprint that later pyramids refined—an essential stop for understanding Egypt’s leap into stone.

Memphis City:

In Egypt’s first capital, politics, religion, and craftsmanship met on the edge of the Nile Delta. Sculptures and fragments hint at the city’s former scale, while your guide connects Memphis to the rise of a unified kingdom, a context that enriches the sites you’ve seen.

Check in at your 5★ Cairo hotel and unwind. This smooth flow is why travelers love a 2 Day trip to Cairo from Hurghada by Flight—maximum sights with minimal transit fatigue.

After breakfast, your 2 Day Cairo Tour from Hurghada by Plane shifts from royal tombs to curated galleries and skyline fortresses. Today, balances museum highlights with the drama of medieval citadels and the color of Cairo’s oldest market.

The Egyptian Museum:

Bronze, gold, alabaster, and painted wood—more than 120,000 artifacts chart 5,000 years of history. From colossal statues to the treasures of Tutankhamun, your guide threads a clear storyline so the scale never feels overwhelming.

National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC):

A modern lens on an ancient timeline. The Royal Mummies Hall is haunting and beautiful, while rotating exhibits connect daily life, crafts, and belief systems across eras—from prehistory to the modern state.

Salah El Din Citadel:

Built in 1176 to secure Cairo, the Citadel later became the seat of power. Its ramparts frame widescreen views of the city, and its museums and mosques compress centuries of military and civic history into a single hilltop.

Mohamed Ali Mosque:

The “Alabaster” domes and soaring minarets crown the skyline with Ottoman grace. Inside, marble, chandeliers, and calligraphy create a serene counterpoint to Cairo’s lively streets below.

Khan El Khalili Bazaar:

Drift through a maze of spice stalls, goldsmiths, brassware, and cafés in a market that has traded since the 14th century. It’s the perfect finale for photos, people-watching, and a last mint tea.

After lunch, transfer to Cairo Airport for your flight back to Hurghada and private drop-off at your hotel—wrapping up a memorable 2 days trip from Hurghada to Cairo with stories and photos you’ll keep.
