About this experience

Embark on a thrilling 6-hour hiking adventure through Wadi Degla, a majestic gorge that links Cairo to the Red Sea. Hiking through Degla doesn't entail a long road, making it an ideal escape for those in Cairo longing to disconnect from the city hustle for a few hours. Wadi Degla boasts an array of trails catering to different skill levels; whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, there's a trail tailored just for you. During our expedition, we will ascend the left side of the canyon, reach its pinnacle, and then descend a few meters to explore the intriguing bats' cave. Afterward, we'll continue our descent until we reach the canyon's base, trekking for several kilometers. Ascending again, we'll conquer the right side of the canyon, and from there, we'll begin our journey back. The return trip offers flexibility; the group can either opt for a challenging descent to the canyon's floor or a leisurely stroll towards the exit, tailored to the energy levels of the participants.

Great experience

Mohammed was such a great guide and person. This was my favorite tour while being in Cairo. We had the entire park to ourselves and it was very special. I would recommend to anyone that wants to get out of the city and see the desert.

Hiking in Cairo is an unforgettable experience. The landscape changes underfoot with spectacular vistas. Hassan was awesome and helped guide the way. Close to Cairo and did 19kms of hiking.

Amazing hike and professional guide

I recently tried the Hiking Adventure in the Heart of Cairo and it was amazing! The meeting point at Beano's Cafe Maadi was easy to find and the guides were friendly. The hike was challenging but manageable and the views were breathtaking. The package included everything, which was great. The guides were knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable throughout the hike. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique way to explore Cairo's natural beauty!

Response from the operator: Thanks for your kind words, it was our pleasure having you with us, and we truly hope to see you again in more adventures.

Hiking Adventure in the Heart of Cairo: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.

How much does Hiking Adventure in the Heart of Cairo 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 Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Hiking Adventure in the Heart of Cairo take?

+

Plan for about 6 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 Hiking Adventure in the Heart of Cairo 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 4 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 Hiking Adventure in the Heart of Cairo?

+

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 Hiking Adventure in the Heart of Cairo suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Hiking Adventure in the Heart of Cairo?

+

Around 1 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Hiking Adventure in the Heart of Cairo 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.
