The Sphinx of Memphis
The Sphinx in Giza is not just a stone statue; it's a symbol of ancient Egypt, full of mysteries and fascinating facts. Firstly, its colossal size is striking. The Sphinx is almost 74 meters long and over 20 meters high, making it one of the largest monuments of antiquity. But it's not just the size that makes the Sphinx remarkable. Its creation remains a mystery to scholars. One of the most popular theories is that it was built during the time of Pharaoh Khafre, around 2500 BC, although the exact date and authorship are still debated. Visiting the Sphinx is more than just a tour; it's an encounter with history and mysteries that make us wonder and ask questions. It's an integral part of Egypt's cultural heritage and is essential to visit to better understand the secrets of this ancient civilization.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu
Our tourists will see the three main pyramids of Egypt in Giza as they admire them from the outside. First and foremost is the Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the three and the only surviving wonder of the ancient world. Its majestic structure is perfectly preserved, and from its exterior, one can observe various features, including the entrance to the pyramid and its northern face. Next, tourists will see the Pyramid of Khafre, the second largest. This pyramid differs from Khufu's with steeper angles and some remnants of dark Tura limestone casing, which once covered the entire pyramid. Finally, the third pyramid is the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three. Its top is unencased, giving it a distinctive appearance. Tourists can marvel at its grand structure and examine the details of its architecture as they stand beside it.

Flawless organization of unforgettable experience
Everything went well, starting with the driver picking us up in the hotel on time and ending with trouble-free experience in Cairo. We booked an individual 1-day trip to Cairo from Sharm-el-Sheikh resort and started to discuss it with Oksana a few weeks ahead. She was very helpful and patient so we ended up with a minute-by-minute schedule to accommodate all our requests. The guide in Cairo - Mohammad - was very kind and helpful, and was willing to make sure we have the best out of 1-day trip. The driver of our van was very professional to make sure we move according to our schedule on a hectic Cairo traffic. Overall we are very happy with Flower of Egypt work on organizing our trip to Cairo, many thanks again!
Response from the operator: Dear Max, On behalf of the entire Flower of Egypt team, thank you so much for your kind words and high praise. It was a pleasure to help you organize your trip to Cairo, and we’re truly happy to know that everything went smoothly and left you with great memories. We will personally pass on your thanks to Oksana, to your guide Mohammad, and to your driver — they’ll be very pleased to hear your feedback. We’d love to welcome you again in Egypt and organize more unforgettable journeys for you in the future! Best regards, Veronika Manager at Flower of Egypt

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
1 Day Tour in Cairo from Sharm El Sheikh: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does 1 Day Tour in Cairo from Sharm El Sheikh cost?
+
Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 1 Day Tour in Cairo from Sharm El Sheikh take?
+
Plan for about 22 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.
Is 1 Day Tour in Cairo from Sharm El Sheikh worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 1 Day Tour in Cairo from Sharm El Sheikh?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 1 Day Tour in Cairo from Sharm El Sheikh suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 22-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 1 Day Tour in Cairo from Sharm El Sheikh?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sharm el Sheikh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 22-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 1 Day Tour in Cairo from Sharm El Sheikh start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sharm el Sheikh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El sheikh Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
