Private Pyramids, Sphinx & GEM Day Trip from Hurghada
Tour overview
Overview
See the two things everyone comes to Egypt for — the Great Pyramids of Giza and the world's newest, largest archaeological museum — on your own private day trip from the Red Sea. No big coach, no fixed group: just your vehicle, your Egyptologist and a day paced entirely around you.
We'll be honest about the day, because the best trips are the ones you know what to expect from: Cairo is around five to six hours from Hurghada by road, so this is an early start with real driving on both ends. But you travel in a comfortable, private, air-conditioned car, stop when you want, and get proper time at the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) — home to the complete Tutankhamun collection — rather than a rushed look.
At Giza you'll stand before the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure and the legendary Sphinx, with your guide bringing five thousand years of history to life. There's no obligatory papyrus or perfume "factory" detour eating into your day — just the museum, the pyramids and a relaxed lunch, then a private drive home.
