Cairo Tour from Sharm El Sheikh

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh in an air-conditioned coach in the early morning and take you to Sharm airport for your flight to Cairo, where you will be accompanied by your Egyptologist tour guide.

When you arrive in the amazing city of Cairo, your first stop will be the Great Pyramids of Giza.

Cairo Tour to the Great Pyramid of Giza

The oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world and sadly the only one that still remains largely intact, the Pyramids of Giza are the very reason a lot of people come to Egypt, and seeing them close-up never disappoints.

Composed of over 2.3 million blocks of granite weighing 25 - 80 tonnes each and constructed over a 20 year period concluding around 2560BC, the pyramids of Cairo was the tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years, to this day we still do not know for sure exactly these amazing structures were built, although there are many theories.

During the Cairo tour we will give you much more information on the amazing Pyramids of Giza, and any questions you may have will be gladly answered by your professional, friendly Egyptologist tour guide.

The Sphinx

After you have seen the pyramids of Cairo, your next stop will be the Sphinx. The Great Sphinx of Giza is a mythological creature, formed of a lions body and a human head.

Standing over 73metres long and 20metres high, the The Great Sphinx of Giza is the oldest known monumental sculpture, and is commonly believed to have been built by ancient Egyptians of the Old Kingdom in the reign of the pharaoh Khafra.

During your tour of Cairo, you will find out how the nose of the Sphinx was broken off by Napoleon's soldiers, which can still be seen today. There are also theories of kings actually being buried inside the Sphinx!

Cairo Tour from Sharm - One Day Excursion by Plane

Just wanna thank Mohamed so much. He’s honest guys guys, you can trust them with your bookings. We’ve had a lovely day trip back Cairo at the pyramids also at the River Nile with a lovely evening, buffet cruise with some live music, we’ve also been to the museum which was beautiful and lovely that explain everything to us. Mohamed has also come and meet us in Cairo in person had a little chat with a little lunch together which was really lovely of him. I would recommend these guys any time, as I’ve had a brilliant time with them like I said you can trust Mohamed and I will be using them again. If I was to come to Egypt, he probably be the only person I can do my book in with.

Worth every penny! Our tour guide Hend was AMAZING! She was so lovely and easy to talk to and joke with. We are so grateful for the knowledge she passed onto to us. Since I’ve been back home all I’ve said was how amazing it was to learn about Egyptian history in Egypt! And visiting one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, you really and truly cannot get better than that!!

Cairo Tour from Sharm - One Day Excursion by Plane

While we were at a resort Sharm El Sheikh, we decided to take a one day excursion to Cairo - private tour by plane. This was a great experience and everything went smoothly. I worked with Mohamed who was always available on WhatApp to help where necessary. We were picked up at our resort at the appointed time, and transported everywhere in Cairo in a comfortable air conditioned people carrier. Our guide spoke excellent English and helped us customize our itinerary. Prior to the trip we had to adjust our party size due to illness which was easily accomadated. There are so many excursion companies to choose from and difficult to know who to rely on, I'm glad we chose Sharm Excursions.

Cairo Tour from Sharm - One Day Excursion by Plane

This was by far the most expensive excursion we bought on our holiday but you can't come to Egypt and not see the pyramids! We needn't have questioned the price, it was absolutely worth it.

Our driver Karim and guide Mary were friendly and fun, as two female tourists we felt completely comfortable and safe with them. Special mention to Mary though, her knowledge of every site we visited was outstanding, she answered all our questions, told us the history of everywhere we visited and was an absolutely fantastic guide for the day getting us to sites early before they got busy with other tour groups.

The sites visited were incredible, we took a million photos and although it was a very long tiring day, I would do it all again. A 5 star excursion and expertly organised and managed by this tour company

Cairo Tour from Sharm - One Day Excursion by Plane

First of all, our tour guide Amr was truly amazing. He was very knowledgeable, very clever, funny, and helpful. Couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. But there are a few points I want to address in regards to the layout of the day.

We were picked up from the hotel at 4:45 am and were taken straight to the airport- we arrived at the airport at about 5:10 am. We were left waiting in the minibus for 15 minutes with no AC and no information about when our flight is and no updates at all. Eventually, we went into the airport and went through security (this took about 20 minutes as there were a lot of security measures), we then were told to go to the check-in and the queues were quite long but we eventually got checked-in at about 5:55 am, only to then find out our flight is at 6 am. None of the guides comes with you through the airport so naturally, we were panicking as we did not want to miss the flight. We got to the gate and it was heaving with people and we had no idea where to go. Anyway, we got onto the plane at about 6:30 and the flight was great: complimentary biscuits and water.

We arrived in Cairo and met our lovely guide who then took us to the minibus- we even had a security guard shadow us for the whole day which was very reassuring. Prior to the trip, we were aware that there was an optional Nile boat trip. Although there were no prices for this on your website, all of the reviews said it was £10. Although the trip was optional, we felt slightly pressured into taking the Nile cruise and it was actually £20/$20 each which we were surprised with, but we still did it as a couple of other people did it and we did not want to be left alone on the bus. The boat trip was very disappointing, must have been only 20 minutes, definitely not worth 20 pounds each. We then had lunch at a riverside restaurant which was fine.

After that, we went to a perfume/oils shop, and honestly, the whole thing just felt like a sales pitch. There was no pressure to buy anything but the whole thing was uncomfortable as none of us had any intention to buy anything and we felt awful because they gave us complimentary fizzy drinks and were very nice.

Now the pyramids... the men at the pyramids do not leave you alone. You step out of the minibus with no warning about what you will experience. They will not take no for an answer when nagging you to buy things we had to practically escape from them. I think the guides need to warn us about this as a young solo traveler was on our trip and we saw her having trouble with one of the men and he was demanding money from her- we had to find the police.

We got to the airport for 6:30pm only to find our flight is at 9pm. Despite there being multiple flights back to Sharm before 9pm that we would have easily made with lots of time to spare. A lot of waiting around.
