Quick answer: Cairo Private 2-Day Trip from Hurghada lasts 2 days in Cairo, from $200.00 per person, with a licensed guide and hotel pick-up.
Overview
Driving to Cairo and back in a single day is exhausting. This private two-day trip splits the journey with a hotel night, so you reach Giza fresh, see more of the city and drive back the next evening without rushing.
Day one starts with the early drive to Cairo, then the Giza pyramids, the Sphinx, lunch and a guided museum visit before you check in at your hotel. Day two covers Saqqara and the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the open-air museum at Memphis, the Citadel of Saladin with the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, and an evening stroll through Khan El Khalili before the drive back to Hurghada.
Your own car, driver and Egyptologist stay with you for both days, so you can change the order, linger or skip anything. Prices are per person based on twin-share and drop as more travellers share the car and guide.
A single-room supplement applies for solo travellers who want their own room.
