Day 01 Cairo Day Trip from Hurghada

Your tour guide will meet you early in the morning at your hotel in Hurghada for transfer in an air-conditioned coach to start your unforgettable Cairo day trip from Hurghada.

Begin at the world-famous Giza Plateau, where you’ll find the Great Pyramid of Khufu, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one that is still largely standing. Take a look at the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure then move on to the mysteries of the Great Sphinx, the legendary guardian that watches over the plateau for ages.

Next you’ll explore the ancient area south of the Sphinx. It’s the place where the pyramid builders lived, worked, and yes even rested there. The excavation is still going on, and it gives you unusual, kind of direct, glimpses into daily life in Ancient Egypt, and also the amazing engineering behind those pyramids.

After that, head to the Grand Egyptian Museum, which is the largest archaeological museum in the world. Here you can see priceless finds, including the famous Tutankhamun collection, arranged in modern, high-tech style galleries. Everything is made to bring ancient Egypt’s history into the present, in a smooth kind of way.

Finally, end your Cairo experience at the vibrant Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest and most well-known markets across the Middle East. Just wander through the energetic streets and tiny alleys, where you’ll smell spices, perfumes, and you’ll spot souvenirs and traditional crafts everywhere.

After the tour, you’ll transfer back to Hurghada by coach and enjoy a comfortable return to your hotel, finishing your memorable Hurghada excursion to Cairo.

We took a ride in the village of Slavia, but I couldn't find an option to review this activity
Because it is temporary so I found this company on the Internet, customer service staff is good, but the only US is not enough is that he can only brush cards online can not pay cash, hope to have the option of paying cash

We had a great afternoon
Leading our guide Ahmed people are good, we because of the previous trip delayed time, let him wait for us a while on the boat, up to the boat to discover the entire boat only us, he also gave us water and drinks, we saw the sunset on the boat to take pictures very carefully, the road Ahmed like we told the surrounding view, some understand some not understand, but this is the charm of travel
Finally arrived at the place where Ahmed was very good to support us in the upper edge, the youth who carried the rope was also reassured to give us, but there was no stubborn edge in the back of the supervision, on the road we would run for a while and walk very self-sufficient, in his body we were afraid and excited, and finally walked into the village of slavery, we went to eat slavery bread with black sugar and adult food, that servant and our soy milk taste super like soy milk, also drank black tea, because Arab coffee is interested so we also tried, the taste is very special. Finally we went to the school in Slavia for a class, really a classroom, we quickly learned some Arabic and Slavic, really too hard, but very happy, if not to rush back and gather, really want to slow down the whole village
