Super
Hello It was a very nice trip to Saqqara to the Serapeum, to the Step Pyramid, and to the Imhotep Museum. It was especially interesting thanks to our guide Mahmoud, who was able to give us very interesting insights. He was very competent and friendly and accommodated every one of our special requests. Thanks also to our driver Mohamed, who drove very carefully and even always held the door open for me. So, all in all, we would book a trip with more agypt Tours again immediately. Many thanks, until next time Saskia & René
Response from the operator: Vielen herzlichen Dank, Saskia und René, für dieses fantastische und detaillierte Feedback! Es ist großartig zu hören, dass Ihnen der Ausflug nach Sakkara, zur Stufenpyramide und ins Imhotep-Museum so gut gefallen hat. Ein riesiges Kompliment geben wir natürlich sehr gerne an unseren Guide Machmut und unseren Fahrer Mohamed weiter – es freut uns zu hören, dass sie Ihren Tag durch Kompetenz, Aufmerksamkeit und Herzlichkeit unvergesslich gemacht haben. Dass Sie sofort wieder bei More Egypt Tours buchen würden, ist das schönste Lob für unser gesamtes Team. Wir freuen uns schon jetzt auf das nächste Mal! Mit sonnigen Grüßen aus Ägypten, Ihr More Egypt Tours Team

After, we then went to see the famous pyramids which was Amazing !! Took some great photos and we also took a camel ride which was a great experience. We flew by plane which was arranged by Mohammed it was professional and the plane was lovely. I highly recommend this experience and to book with Mohammed for a truly fantastic experience. They are trustworthy and will make your holiday one to remember
Response from the operator: 😍 1000 time thank you all lots, Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your glowing recommendation! It was a true pleasure for us to organize this private boat trip for your family of four. I am personally delighted to hear that you enjoyed the private dinner arrangement—it was my pleasure to ensure you had a special and quiet space to relax and enjoy your meal. We are also thrilled that you were "lucky" enough to have such a close encounter with the dolphins; those are the moments that make the Red Sea so special! Our team always tries to go the extra mile, whether it’s finding the best snorkeling spots for the fish and coral or letting you experience the thrill of the speedboat at sunset. Hearing that we "pulled out all the stops" for your family is the greatest compliment we could receive. Thank you for choosing More Egypt Tours. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable day on the water! Warm regards, Mohamed and the More Egypt Tours Team🙏🙏

absolutely recommendable
We made this tour from Hurghada to the pyramids of and are completely satisfied. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The hotel pickup went smoothly and the driver was super friendly, punctual and got us safely and comfortably through the long drive. The guide who led us through the pyramids was just great. He was not only very competent and passionate about the matter, but also introduced us to the history and secrets of the pyramids in an exciting and entertaining way. I would also like to thank you again for the exceptional care on the way back when I got health problems. I was super taken care of and thankfully everything is fine again. I definitely recommend the tour and the provider.
Response from the operator: Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, uns Ihre Gedanken und Meinungen mitzuteilen. Wir freuen uns, dass Sie eine angenehme Zeit bei uns hatten und freuen uns auf Ihre Rückkehr. Und wir hoffen Ihnen geht es besser jetzt, Bleiben gesund 🙏, Ich Danke Ihnen so sehr noch mal.

Unforgettable private tour to the Giza pyramids – highly recommended!
We have made the private tour from Hurghada to the pyramids of Giza and are absolutely thrilled! The day was perfectly organized from start to finish. Even the pick-up from the hotel in Hurghada went smoothly – our driver was super friendly, punctual and got us safely and comfortably through the long drive. In Giza we were welcomed by our guide who was just great. He was not only very competent and passionate about the matter, but also introduced us to the history and secrets of the pyramids in an exciting and entertaining way. And he also had an answer to every curious question on our part. You could really tell how much heart and soul he puts into his job. The pyramids themselves are of course an absolute highlight, but through the personal tour we have experienced them again in a completely different way. Also the service all around was top – water, snacks, breaks, everything was considered. In the end we were again safely and comfortably taken to our hotel. Conclusion: If you want to experience the pyramids in a relaxed and exclusive setting, this tour is the best advice. Thank you for this unforgettable day!
Response from the operator: Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, uns Ihre Gedanken und Meinungen mitzuteilen. Wir freuen uns, dass Sie eine angenehme Zeit bei uns hatten und freuen uns auf Ihre Rückkehr.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Cairo Day Trip from Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How does Private Cairo Day Trip from Hurghada compare to similar tours in Hurghada?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Hurghada, with an Outty Ranking of 68. At €20 it costs less than the typical similar option (€46), so it is strong value. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is Private Cairo Day Trip from Hurghada best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 20-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Private Cairo Day Trip from Hurghada good value?
+
Yes. It starts at €20, below the €46 typical for similar experiences in Hurghada.
How much does Private Cairo Day Trip from Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at €20 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 Private Cairo Day Trip from Hurghada take?
+
Plan for about 20 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 Private Cairo Day Trip from Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Private Cairo Day Trip 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 Private Cairo Day Trip from Hurghada suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 20-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Cairo Day Trip from Hurghada?
+
Around 3 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 20-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Cairo Day Trip 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 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.
