Kurz gesagt: Cairo and GEM Day Trip from Hurghada lasts 14 Stunden in Cairo, from $445.00 per person, with a licensed guide and hotel pick-up.
Überblick
This is the Cairo day trip for travellers who want the Grand Egyptian Museum rather than the older downtown museum. You fly from Hurghada in the morning, spend the day with a private Egyptologist and a private car, and are back at your hotel the same night.
Your guide takes you first to the Giza Plateau for the three great pyramids and the Great Sphinx, with time to photograph at your own pace. After lunch you move to the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to the full Tutankhamun collection and the colossal statue of Ramesses II, where a guide makes the difference between a walk past showcases and a real understanding of what you see.
Because the tour is private you choose the rhythm: more time at the pyramids, a shorter museum visit, a stop for a camel ride or none at all. Flights, entrance fees, lunch and water are included.
The price per person depends on how many travellers share the car and guide, and children get reduced rates: see Prices by group size below.

FAQ
Why choose the Grand Egyptian Museum over the Egyptian Museum?
The Grand Egyptian Museum is the newer, much larger museum near the pyramids and displays the complete Tutankhamun collection in modern galleries. It also saves time because it is close to Giza.
How much time do I really have in Cairo?
Flying leaves you roughly 8 to 10 Stunden in Cairo, enough for the pyramids, lunch and a guided visit to the museum.
Why does the price change with group size?
The car and guide are shared by your party, so the price per person drops as more people travel together.
What do children pay?
Children under 6 travel free, children from 6 to 11 pay 50% of the adult price, and from 12 years the full price applies.
