Highly recommended!!
We had an amazing time at the Giza Pyramids with Yasser! His knowledge of the history and the area was impressive, and he explained everything in a way that was easy to follow and really interesting. One of the best ways to explore Giza Pyramids

Great trip with Yasser
Great trip with Yasser. He knows SO much about the pyramids and the history surrounding them. Really good narrator, and exciting tour around the pyramids and the Egyptian museum in Cairo. We can highly recommend Yasser. And would like to take another trip, because it definitely bears repeating.
Response from the operator: Kære Dorthe 1000 tak for den dejlige feedback på jeres tur til Pyramiderne. Det vil altid opmuntre os til at hjælpe vores dejlige danske gæster med at opleve Ægypten på en fantastisk måde også på dansk. Kærligst Yasser Abdelghanni Exceptional Tours Egypt

Travel around Kairez and the pyramids
It was my best trip, I saw the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. I was sailing on the Nile. I was on the Cheops Pyramid. I was inside the Cheops Pyramid. It was very interestingly beautiful and romantic. In my opnion Mr Yasser Abdelghanni is the beter Egyptologist Tour Guide from Alexandria University, Egypt. He gave us many interesting news about Egypt and the ancient dynasties of the pharaohs.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feed back We appreciate it very much Our best wishes for great Tours with us in the future.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day tour to the Pyramids and Grand Museum from Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Day tour to the Pyramids and Grand Museum from Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at $98 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 Day tour to the Pyramids and Grand Museum from Hurghada take?
+
Plan for about 18 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 Day tour to the Pyramids and Grand Museum from Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Day tour to the Pyramids and Grand Museum 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 Day tour to the Pyramids and Grand Museum from Hurghada suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 18-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day tour to the Pyramids and Grand Museum from Hurghada?
+
Around 2 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 18-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day tour to the Pyramids and Grand Museum 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.
