Overview
Cairo by plane from Hurghada replaces the long coach drive with a flight of about an hour each way. It suits travellers who want to see the pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum in one day but don't want to spend most of it on the road.
We pick you up at about 03:00–04:00 and take you to Hurghada airport for the morning flight to Cairo. Your Egyptologist guide meets you at Cairo airport, and you travel in an air-conditioned vehicle. You start at the Giza plateau with the Pyramids and the Sphinx, then have lunch. In the afternoon you visit the Grand Egyptian Museum. In the evening you fly back to Hurghada, and you're at your hotel at about 22:00–23:30. The day takes about 18–19 hours in total.
Return flights, airport transfers in Hurghada and Cairo, entrance tickets to the Giza plateau and the museum, lunch and water are included. Going inside a pyramid and drinks at lunch are extra. Bring your original passport: a copy or photo is not accepted for the flight. Please note that flight times can change.
