Quick answer: Cairo Private Day Trip from Hurghada lasts 20 hours in Cairo, from $270.00 per person, with a licensed guide and hotel pick-up.
Overview
Prefer the road to the airport? This private day trip drives you from your Hurghada hotel to Cairo in your own air-conditioned car, so there are no flight times, no queues and no baggage rules, just you, your party and your guide.
You leave in the early morning and cross the Eastern Desert in about 5 to 6 hours, with a coffee stop on the way. In Cairo your Egyptologist takes you to the Giza pyramids and the Great Sphinx, then to lunch and a guided visit to the museum of your choice, the Egyptian Museum or the Grand Egyptian Museum.
Because the car is yours, you set the pace: stay longer at the pyramids, skip the museum for the bazaar, or stop for a camel ride. The return drive reaches Hurghada late in the evening.
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
Is a private car better than the bus?
The private car leaves when you want, stops where you want and has room for your luggage and shopping. The bus is cheaper but follows a fixed schedule with other travellers.
How long is the drive?
About 5 to 6 hours each way, so this is a very long day. Guests who prefer less time on the road should choose a flight tour or the 2-day version.
Can I choose the museum?
Yes. Pick the Egyptian Museum or the Grand Egyptian Museum when you book.
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.
