Daytrip from Hurghada to Cairo
Last month I took a day trip with Memphis tours from Hurgada to Cairo. From the pick up at the hotel and transport to the airport at Hurhada, to the pickup at Cairo and the trip back, everything went flawless. I met my very friendly tour leader Omar at the airport together with our driver and we had an authentic Egyptian breakfast on the way to meet my tour Guide Marwa Ghazal. Marwa was very passionate about the history and culture and most important for me, she was very knowledgeable on the subjects. We toured among others the Giza plateau, Coptic Cairo and the Egyptian Museum. We also did some shopping for authentic souvenir's and papyrus. The local cuisine was very tasty. I learnt a lot that day about (ancient) Egypt and all thanks to Marwa. Both Marwa and Omar took very good care of me during my stay in Cairo. I highly recommend this trip and I definitely want to return for additional tours and a longer stay. Hopefully this will be very soon. Shukran to both Marwa and Omar for the unforgettable experience!

Hurghada-Cairo with Nice tours and guide Mustafa 🥰🥰
I have a wonderful experience visiting the Pyramids, Giza and the original place where the papirus made as also the oriental oils .. Our guide Mustafa knows everything around history and the town..a kind and funny man , definitely make the tour special. After a nice meal with view of Pyramids, we visit the Egyptian museum and our tour finished with a boat trip to Neill River. I m grateful to make this trip and choose Nice tours, we were a small group of 6 persons and we had a new Mini bus with Klima and very good and friendly drivers 😀 I Definitely recommend!!

„This is not included, but it is important.“
More of a sales experience than a cultural/ historical one. Been moved from one sales pitch to the next.

Good but not great
Of all the experiences I was booked on, this was the one I was most excited about but unfortunately it did not live up to that excitement. In total the experience lasted 25 hours. It wasn’t very well organised, there was a lot of waiting around which ate into the time we were supposed to have at each place. The museum was the first stop and we started off by waiting outside for half an hour while they tried to get tickets, when we did get inside we then had to stand for nearly another half an hour while our guide explained the history of Egypt and why upper and lower Egypt are upside down on the map, he then proceeded to start an argument with another guide who had two people and were in the area before he took us over there. Then he started his whole explanation again. We did eventually move on but it was very rushed. In the whole museum we saw 6 exhibits while listening to the guide yes explain some of what we were looking at but also explaining his own personal political views. There is no air con in the museum so the air you get is when you move, due to the extended periods of time stood in one place I actually passed out. When we were moving even slowly, I was fine. Twice we were told lunch was next before we stopped to do something else, great stops, don’t get me wrong but when you’ve already been on the go for 13 hours you need lunch and a cold drink. I specifically asked if there was an option of going inside the pyramids and was told yes and quoted a price yet when we got there, it was not an option. We also only got a quick walk round to see the sphinx at a distance. Overall, it was amazing to see the things we saw but despite lasting 25 hours, the whole day was very rushed and disorganised. I wouldn’t do this experience again or if I did I would be with a different company. A shame because the guide was actually lovely and very knowledgeable but didn’t seem to understand tourists and time certainly doesn’t mean a whole lot.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tour to Cairo from Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Tour to Cairo from Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 Tour to Cairo 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Tour to Cairo from Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 22 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 Tour to Cairo 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 Tour to Cairo 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 Tour to Cairo from Hurghada?
+
Around 8 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 20-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour to Cairo 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 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.
