Fly from Hurghada to Cairo for a private day exploring the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the new Grand Egyptian Museum.

Why spend five hours crossing the desert by road when Cairo is barely an hour away by air? This trip starts with a short domestic flight from Hurghada, landing you in Cairo for a private day that begins right at the foot of the Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx — face to face with the last standing wonder of the ancient world.

From Giza, you head to the new Grand Egyptian Museum, just minutes from the plateau, to wander its vast halls and see pharaonic treasures — including pieces from Tutankhamun's tomb never displayed to the public before — presented in a way no other museum in Egypt can match.

The whole day is private, built around you and your group, with no group-tour shuffling or rigid schedules. By evening, a return flight has you back in Hurghada, having seen in a single day what most Red Sea visitors never get around to seeing all week.
