What You’ll Experience: Full Cairo Day Trip Itinerary

✈️ Early Morning: Fly from Hurghada to Cairo

Your day begins with an early hotel pickup in Hurghada. You’ll be transferred to Hurghada International Airport for a quick, one-hour flight to Cairo. It’s early, but worth it. Watching the sun rise as you soar above the desert? Magic.

🏺 Stop 1: Egyptian Museum Tour

Upon landing, your private Egyptologist guide greets you at the airport. First stop? The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square—home to over 120,000 priceless relics.

What you’ll see:

• Tutankhamun’s golden mask and treasure
