Trip to Cairo from Hurghada for 2 Days

Enjoy a remarkable 2-day Cairo trip from Hurghada to Egypt's wondrous capital. Transfer to Cairo either by a scenic drive through the desert or a short flight over the Red Sea and find yourself amidst the heart of bygone and modern Egyptian civilization. Immediately upon arrival, your exciting excursion will take you to view the great Giza Pyramids, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Perhaps you will stand in front of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, gaze at the Great Sphinx's infinite mystery, and hear tales about the secrets of the ancient tombs. A visit at the Valley Temple will further educate you on the mummification rituals of the pharaohs, for a truly immersive experience.

After savoring a typical Egyptian lunch in a local restaurant, your sightseeing continues, this time at the Egyptian Museum, which houses thousands of artifacts, including the glory of King Tutankhamun's treasures. These artifacts include beautifully preserved relics, famous statues, and ancient scrolls dated centuries ago. As the day winds down, take a Nile dinner cruise or have leisure time to stroll around the buzzing streets of Khan El Khalili Bazaar, where you can shop around for memorable souvenirs. Afterward, you will head to a comfortable hotel in Cairo for an overnight stay until the next day of adventures.

The second day of the tour is reserved for more historic and cultural landmarks in Cairo. The glittering citadel of Saladin, along with the stunning mosque of Mohamed Ali, also known as the Alabaster, is your next stop, with breathtaking views of the city on offer. Then there are visits to the Hanging Church and other Coptic and Islamic sites, helping you to understand Egypt's varied heritage. After one last traditional meal, you will set off on the long drive back to Hurghada, with memories of the ancient wonders of Cairo and its lively culture within reach.
