Great day out with lovely guides
Abdul, our host, was very communicative from the start. Picked us up promptly in a private car with snacks and drinks at no extra cost. Unfortunately, due to poor weather and storms, we weren’t able to take a coach to Cairo and were instead given a mini bus. This was my only negative for the trip. We had little room to move, and I didn’t catch any sleep. The journey was also supposed to take only 5 hours but ended up being 8 hours (with a few long stops at service stations). Once we arrived in Cairo, it was only positives from here. Our lovely guide (said to call her hanna) was so knowledgable, patient and kind. A gentleman who I think was called Kyrie was also with us and he took some amazing photos, he said he really likes photography and I would recommend letting him take some shots for you, as he’s dedicated to getting great photos. We tipped both of them for their amazing help. After the Nile river trip, the pyramids, sphinx, lunch (which was an authentic buffet), we went to the perfume shop, then the grand museum and finally to a spices shop. We then began the long drive back home which again, was pretty uncomfortable and long. Overall, very good value for money and Abdul was apologetic for the issues with travel. We had a great time (although I’ve never felt so tired in my life). I would recommend anyone that is uncomfortable in tight spaces to think twice and maybe just confirm with Abdul what method of driving you’ll take, as again, the trip from long beach resort to Cairo almost had me and my partner ready to take an uber back to the resort! Try and take out some cash if you can, as toilets in the service stations require cash and a lot of the shops in Cairo and around the museum only take cash.

Pyramid Trip
Both Ahmed our driver and Mamdouh our guide were knowledgeable and passionate throughout my family’s experience when visiting the pyramids. Our journey was made as comfortable as we could as our car had air con, WiFi, TV and we were provided with refreshments throughout the day all free of charge. Nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend, thank you Ahmed and Mamdouh for making our experience something we will never forget.

Well recommended
Would recommend. I booked the big bus but was collected by mini bus which disappointed me at first as it is long journey. But the day couldn't have turned out better. The driver was grate, plenti of drink and snacks on board . And mini bus was very clean. We got there faster then other tour busses. It felt private and personal. Lovely guide Shruk was amazing and so knowledgeable. She made our day unforgettable. They do their best to help and please. well recommend and grate experience.

Excellent company with an amazing driver
Really great tour. Our driver Ahmed arrived on time, which is rare for tours, so was much appreciated. He is an excellent driver, we got to Cairo in good time, was a very smooth ride and he stopped for us whenever we needed a toilet break etc. highly recommend this tour with this company. Ahmed was very friendly and our tour guide for the sites was also very informative and knowledgeable. We also got back to our hotel earlier than expected meaning we could have dinner back at our hotel.

Wonderful day
Good value for money for trip to Cairo with small group. Friendly driver and guide and good lunch included. Overall, the tour was beyond anything we could have hoped for, and the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. It was a well organized, and educational day that we’ll never forget.

Why this scores 88
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day Trip to Cairo old Egyptian museum & pyramids with lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Day Trip to Cairo old Egyptian museum & pyramids with lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 Trip to Cairo old Egyptian museum & pyramids with lunch take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 Trip to Cairo old Egyptian museum & pyramids with lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 747 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 Trip to Cairo old Egyptian museum & pyramids with lunch?
+
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 Trip to Cairo old Egyptian museum & pyramids with lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day Trip to Cairo old Egyptian museum & pyramids with lunch?
+
Around 261 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 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Trip to Cairo old Egyptian museum & pyramids with lunch 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.
