Experience the essence of ancient Egypt with our Mini Cairo tour from Hurghada. This budget-friendly day trip is perfect for travelers staying along the Red Sea coast who want to see the highlights of Cairo in one unforgettable day. Operated by Aquila Adventures, this tour includes round-trip transfers from Hurghada to Cairo, guided visits to the most iconic sites, and a delicious local lunch.

What to Expect on Your Mini Cairo Tour from Hurghada

Your adventure starts with an early morning departure from Hurghada in a modern, air-conditioned bus. As you leave the Red Sea behind, you’ll head toward Egypt’s vibrant capital for a day filled with history, culture, and incredible photo opportunities.

Guided Tour of the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx

Once in Cairo, your first stop is the legendary Giza Plateau. Here, you’ll marvel at the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure — all part of the ancient world’s most iconic site. Standing guard nearby is the Great Sphinx, one of the most recognized monuments in Egypt.

Entry to the pyramid complex is included in your tour, allowing you to explore the area freely. Please note that entry into the interior of the Great Pyramid requires a separate ticket, which can be purchased on-site.

Visit the Historic Heart of Old Cairo

After exploring the pyramids, your tour continues through the narrow streets of Old Cairo. This area is home to some of the oldest churches and mosques in the region, and your Egyptologist guide will share stories of how faith, architecture, and culture have evolved here over centuries. This part of the trip offers a more intimate view of Cairo beyond the tourist sites.

Authentic Egyptian Lunch Included

Midway through the day, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Vegetarian options are available upon request. Relax, recharge, and taste the flavors that define Egyptian hospitality.
