What a SUPER excursion
What a GREAT excursion. We were picked up at 4am by van from our hotel to Hurghada airport for our 6am flight. Our flight departed earlier so we were at Cairo airport at 6:50 am. Our private bus with guide and driver was already waiting outside. Everyone got in and headed to the pyramids. Halfway through the ride our Dutch-speaking guide got in, what a lot of knowledge that man has. He knew everything about the pyramids, the sphinx and the museum. After we visited the sphinx we went for lunch, which was also well organized and delicious. After lunch, we take the bus back to the museum. Before we went to the museum, we first visited a glassblowing factory and the adjacent perfume shop. Because we had a late return flight at 10:30 PM, we still had to make good use of our time. After the museum we grabbed a terrace and then we drove by bus towards the Nile. Once we arrived at the Nile we went on the boat to sail across the Nile and have dinner. After the boat trip, back in the van to Cairo airport, landing in Hurghada after an hour. The van was waiting outside again to take us back to the hotel. What a WELL organized excursion. It was a long day but definitely worth it .Highly recommended.

A great excursion in Cairo, recommended!!!!
By plane from Hurghada to Cairo. Instead of 6 hours by car, a 1 hour flight. Highly recommended, this day excursion!!! Everything was/will be arranged from transfer to airport, the visit to Cairo and also the return trip. Upon arrival in Cairo the driver was ready, who drives us and the guide around all day to the various locations, to drive us towards the pyramids of Giza. On the way our guide Atta will be picked up. Atta speaks perfect Dutch and has a lot of knowledge about the antiquity of Egypt. We get a lot of information on the pyramids and Sphinx, but he also tells a lot about the history of Egypt, Romans and Greeks. An impressive sight those high pyramids. Atta also takes plenty of time to take pictures of us together with the imposing structures. After a great lunch in a local restaurant we visited the great Egyptian Museum. Under the guidance of Atta, this was a true culture tasting. He tells so much more about the most important artifacts and with a clear explanation, that the visit makes a very deep impression. Then we walk through the Khan el khalil bazaar, what a wonderfully bustling part of the city with all those shops. After a few purchases we have a drink at an authentic Egyptian bistro, after which we say goodbye to Atta and we are taken by the driver to Cairo airport for our return flight back to Hurghada. Once there, a driver is ready for transfer to our hotel. Around 10 pm we are back after a GREAT day excursion. Nevertheless, a note as a point of attention for the organization Excursion Egypt: Communication could actually be improved. Where I read a lot that questions are answered the fastest via Whatsapp, so also with friends who have booked here in recent years, this one really left something to be desired at times. For example, after asking several times, we only received our answer for the pick-up time from the hotel late in the evening before departure (after repeated request). That's the only downside. As said, this Excursion Day was completely TOP arranged for the rest!
Response from the operator: Hartelijk dank voor je geweldige beoordeling en feedback na je fantastische privé-excursie naar Caïro per vliegtuig vanuit Hurghada. Hartelijk dank voor je fantastische review en feedback! We zijn ontzettend blij dat je genoten hebt van de dagtocht naar Caïro en dat de reis, het bezoek aan de piramides en het Egyptisch Museum je zo'n diepe indruk hebben gemaakt. Het is geweldig om te horen dat onze gids Atta zijn kennis en passie voor de geschiedenis van Egypte met je heeft kunnen delen. We waarderen ook dat je de tijd hebt genomen om te genieten van de lokale cultuur en sfeer in de Khan el Khalili bazaar. Wat betreft de communicatie, willen we je bedanken voor je eerlijke feedback. We begrijpen dat het soms lastig kan zijn om snel een antwoord te krijgen en zullen dit intern bespreken om te zorgen dat de communicatie in de toekomst sneller en duidelijker verloopt. We stellen je geduld en begrip op dit vlak zeer op prijs. Nogmaals, dank je wel voor je positieve woorden en we hopen je in de toekomst weer te mogen verwelkomen voor een nieuwe avontuur! Met vriendelijke groet, Rana

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cairo Private tour by plane from Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Cairo Private tour by plane from Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at €214 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cairo Private tour by plane from Hurghada take?
+
Plan for about 19 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 Hurghada is not rushed.
Is Cairo Private tour by plane from Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cairo Private tour by plane from Hurghada?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Cairo Private tour by plane from Hurghada suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 19-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cairo Private tour by plane from Hurghada?
+
Around 13 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 19-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cairo Private tour by plane from Hurghada 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Hurghada Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip With Lunch & Transfer. 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 Hurghada?
+
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 Hurghada?
+
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.
