Review of the Hurghada to Cairo day trip, covering the pyramids, Sphinx, Egyptian Museum, lunch, transport, guide quality, and practical tips.
“The tour was wonderful and very interesting. Our guide, Ayman Fawzy, provided us with plenty of information and fascinating details about each site we visited — it was really great to have him with us. By the end of the day, we couldn’t visit the souk due to time constraints. Given how long the rest of the visits take (even with a quick lunch), I’m not sure it’s really feasible anyway — this part might need some adjustment. The trip is quite long, running from 1 a.m. to 11 p.m., but it’s absolutely worth it.”
