It was ok.
It clearly states new Egyptian museum , but you are taken to the old one. You are also taken to several different places you did not ask to go to, the idea being that you buy things from there. Clearly they have an arrangement with these places. That being said, the guide was really good and the pyramids were fantastic. Well worth seeing.

A great experience
This semi-private tour from Hurghada to the Pyramids and the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) was an absolutely essential and unforgettable experience that I highly recommend. Despite the long journey, the VIP-level transportation was supremely comfortable and well-managed, making the trip effortless. Our Egyptologist guide was exceptional—deeply knowledgeable, humorous, and ensured we got the most out of every site. Seeing the majestic Giza Pyramids and Sphinx was awe-inspiring, and the world-class GEM, showcasing Tutankhamun's treasures, was the perfect complement. This tour offers unparalleled comfort and expertise for witnessing Egypt's greatest historical wonders.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to give us with your thoughts and opinions. We're glad to hear you had a pleasant time with us, and we look forward to your return.🤍

Very interesting trip and amazing team
Bella Trips is the best! Everything was quick from the start, from online booking to pickup at the scheduled time. The driver was nice during the trip and was keeping on our safety. It was really a wonderful and well-organized trip. We had a great time visiting the new museum and took many souvenir photos. We also rode camels, and the restaurant where we had lunch was beautiful with delicious and distinctive food. I'll definitely come back again. I highly recommend Bella Trips.

Cairo Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum Semi-Private from Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Cairo Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum Semi-Private from Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at $30 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 Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum Semi-Private from Hurghada take?
+
Plan for about 17 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 Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum Semi-Private from Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cairo Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum Semi-Private from Hurghada?
+
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 Cairo Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum Semi-Private from Hurghada suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 17-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cairo Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum Semi-Private from Hurghada?
+
Around 7 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 17-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cairo Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum Semi-Private 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: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip, Orange Bay Island, Luxury Cruise to Orange Bay and Hula Hula island Trip. 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.
