Grand Egyptian Museum & Pyramids Day Trip by Bus

This Grand Egyptian Museum day trip from Hurghada pairs Egypt’s newest cultural landmark with the monuments everyone wants to see. You ride in air-conditioned transport with a professional Egyptologist guide who stays with you all day. The trip runs on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The drive takes about six hours each way and the whole outing lasts around 18 hours, so it is a long day for travellers who want to see the Giza area from a base on the Red Sea.

The Grand Egyptian Museum stands close to the Giza Plateau, and the visit begins there. Inside a modern building you see royal statues and treasures from ancient Egypt in one of the most impressive archaeological museums in the world. You then move on to the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx, where your guide shares the stories behind them and you have time for photos. Lunch at a local restaurant and a panoramic tour through Cairo complete the programme.

Tickets for the museum and the Giza Pyramids area are included. Entry inside the pyramids and the Nile boat trip are not. Pack snacks and water for the drive, bring your passport with your Egyptian visa, and wear comfortable clothes and shoes with a hat and sunscreen.
