Private excursion from Hurhgada to Cairo by plane.
Private excursion from Hurhgada to Cairo by plane. Communication was easy, you got a quick response. Jakob picked us up from the airport and we did a city tour. We visited the Egyptian Museum, got a guided tour of the pyramids and a delicious lunch. On requests was received and we were constantly supplied with sufficient water by Jakob. Top tour, always recommendable. Best with Jakob:)
Response from the operator: Vielen Dank für Ihr tolles Feedback! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihr Privatausflug von Hurghada nach Kairo mit dem Flugzeug so reibungslos verlief und Sie die Stadtrundfahrt, das Ägyptische Museum sowie die Pyramidenführung genossen haben. Wir geben Ihr Lob gerne an Jakob weiter – schön zu hören, dass er Ihnen mit seinem Wissen und dem hervorragenden Service den Tag unvergesslich gemacht hat. Wir freuen uns, Sie auch bei Ihrem nächsten Ägyptenbesuch wieder bei Memnon Reisen begrüßen zu dürfen! Ihr Memnon Reisen Team

Amazing and excellent trip to Egypt!
We booked a trip for Cairo, Alexandria and Luxor with Memnon Reisen. The organisers and staff were so much flexible and cooperative in planning our tour from the starting. They tried to help us in such a way so we can use maximum time in our perfect trip. And see maximum places without any hectic schedule. Their both the guides were descriptive in their talks about the places. Their guide Shaima was one of the most amazing guide I have ever met. She took care of us like her children! Unbelievable! She was able to read our eyes, and our smallest gestures. She was highly helpful to us and solved our many issues regarding stay and food. A most committed team with coordination! Travel became a most memorable with them. A lots of thanks. Will always refer our friends as much as possible! Mehulkumar from India.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Mehulkumar, for sharing your heartfelt words with us! 🌟 We are truly delighted that your trip to Cairo, Alexandria, and Luxor became such a memorable experience. It makes us very proud to hear that our team could plan everything in a way that allowed you to enjoy the maximum without stress. A very special thank you for your wonderful words about Shaima – she is indeed an exceptional guide, and we will make sure to pass on your kind appreciation to her. Knowing that she cared for you like family and made you feel so comfortable is the greatest compliment we could receive. 🙏 We are grateful for your trust and your recommendation to friends – and we look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable experiences in Egypt!

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Cairo | Private Day Trip to Alexandria: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does From Cairo | Private Day Trip to Alexandria cost?
+
Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Cairo | Private Day Trip to Alexandria take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is From Cairo | Private Day Trip to Alexandria worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". 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 Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Cairo | Private Day Trip to Alexandria?
+
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 From Cairo | Private Day Trip to Alexandria suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Cairo | Private Day Trip to Alexandria?
+
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 Cairo 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 Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Cairo | Private Day Trip to Alexandria 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 Cairo 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 Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. 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 Cairo?
+
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 Cairo?
+
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.
