Cairo with Sam
We were out with Sam and were very satisfied. We would do it again anytime and recommend it to everyone. We would not recommend going through Cairo alone. The organization was perfect and Sam was very knowledgeable and showed us a lot.

Simply incredibly beautiful!!!!
We took our first excursion today through Sun and Fun Reisen. Private tour by plane to Cairo. Already booked very easily from Germany and have had nice contact and support to this day. THANK YOU Hanna. And now to our excursion. 5 stars ⭐️ are not enough. We were taken care of so warmly. Our guide Jakob and driver brought us safely through Cairo. Jakob was able to answer all our questions and was even there immediately when our daughter was not feeling well (circulation). He took care of her so sweetly with a little medicine and TLC, he managed to get things going again after a MEGA delicious lunch with a good mood. Since we still had some time at the end of the day, Jakob took care of fulfilling our request and organized a Nile cruise for us. I can highly recommend the entire Sun and fun team. We didn't have to worry about anything (whether flight tickets, admission tickets, etc.). Everything was booked for us in advance. Thumbs up 👍🏻. We will take more excursions with you. Best regards, the Buchholz family

Great day trip with Sun&Fun
Our expectations were exceeded. It was an all-around successful private excursion for two with a flight to Cairo/Giza. The organization worked perfectly. Contact in German via WhatsApp was just as smooth and very nice. Our chauffeur was super, always provided cold drinks, our guide Jakob is an Egyptologist, speaks great German, and organized the whole day according to our wishes. With great knowledge, information, and explanations. He organized a Nile cruise for the two of us, shopped and bargained for us at the bazaar, and got us local snacks. We also exchanged information about the country, the people, and personal matters, so we were able to get a great insight. Many thanks for the great, unforgettable day. We can only recommend this company and would book again at any time.

Unforgettable trip to Cairo
The trip was put together according to our wishes. From the pickup to the drive to the sightseeing, everything worked out perfectly. A highlight was the hotel in Giza with a direct view of the pyramids. Thanks to the team at SFR, the guide Isam, and our driver Wagdi.

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Cairo Excursion from Hurghada Makadi Bay Soma Bay Sahl Hasheesh Elguna: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Private Cairo Excursion from Hurghada Makadi Bay Soma Bay Sahl Hasheesh Elguna cost?
+
Prices start at $295 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 Excursion from Hurghada Makadi Bay Soma Bay Sahl Hasheesh Elguna 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 Private Cairo Excursion from Hurghada Makadi Bay Soma Bay Sahl Hasheesh Elguna worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 223 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 Excursion from Hurghada Makadi Bay Soma Bay Sahl Hasheesh Elguna?
+
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 Excursion from Hurghada Makadi Bay Soma Bay Sahl Hasheesh Elguna 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 Private Cairo Excursion from Hurghada Makadi Bay Soma Bay Sahl Hasheesh Elguna?
+
Around 78 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 Private Cairo Excursion from Hurghada Makadi Bay Soma Bay Sahl Hasheesh Elguna 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, Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip W/Lunch & Transfer from Hurghada. 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.
