Our most popular tour, and what were famous for! This excursion to Cairo is a must for anyone visiting Egypt, and going private makes it even better! Our Cairo tour by plane offers more time looking around the amazing sights of Cairo and less time travelling, the perfect balance of squeezing in all the best bits, whilst not rushing!
In our opinion seeing Cairo is a must for anyone visiting Egypt. On our private tour of Cairo you'll see all the most amazing sights Cairo has to offer and receive a more personalised service on the day as you'll have the guide to yourselves.
Why Go Private?
We recommend that if you can pay the extra 15% for a private tour of Cairo, to do so over our group tour - especially nice for families with young children or couples looking for a more intimate day, it means you get our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide to yourselves, and also means you can dictate how much time you spend at each site.
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!
Lunch on the Nile
Next up is a break for a delicious lunch on the Nile, a large buffet with foods to cater for all tastes and ages. This is a great opportunity to relax and take in the sights and smells of bustling Cairo before going to visit the world-renowned Museum of Egyptian Antiquities.
Museum of Egyptian Antiquities
Inside this huge, world-famous museum you'll find some of the most important treasures from Ancient Egypt civilisation anywhere in the world, from Pharaonic antiques to the treasure found in the tomb of Egypt's best known King, Tutankhamen.
Spanning two floors, each section of the museum is dedicated to specific Kings, or time periods, even if you're not usually particularity into Egyptian history we find everybody finds it fascinating and a powerful experience to be so close to such historically important artefacts.
Built in neo-classical style, designed by the French architect Marcel Dourgnon the museum exceed 120,000 masterpieces ranges from pre-dynastic era, Pharaonic era to the Greco-roman period in Egypt and includes the treasures of the child King Tutankhamen, Pharaonic Gods and Goddess.
You can also visit the mummies room at the Egyptian Museum for a background about the Egyptian civilisation and the mummification art in ancient Egypt.
Shopping in the Bazaars of Cairo
After you have seen the pyramids, sphinx and other amazing sights that Cairo has to offer, you will have some free time for shopping in the world famous bazaars of Cairo - another big pull to tourists from all over the world.
Return to your Sharm Hotel
Then you will be transferred to Cairo domestic airport to fly back to Sharm El Sheikh with a transfer back to your hotel in Sharm.
The day has been carefully thought out in-order to give you the most enjoyable time possible in the time available, you will see the famous sights of Cairo and hopefully have one of the most memorable days of you life!

Private Cairo Tour by plane from Sharm - 1 Day Excursion
What an amazing trip this was, if you’re looking for a trip to Cairo and want to be in your own group this is the tour to do.
We were met by our guide Ibrahim at the airport and he was amazing, we felt safe at all times and his knowledge was brilliant.
Don’t think we would have had the same experience being in a large group than to what we had being on a private tour so would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
Will use them again for any future trips

The tour was great! Mohammed was very helpful as our flight was cancelled, and he worked his way around to find a flight that was suitable for us before we left Egypt. Our tour guide was exceptional and friendly; he helped us take many pictures, very informative and we were able to do everything we wanted to do.

The tour was amazing! Nothing to say. The guide was great and all the day went perfect. Unfortunately, just a delay of the flight on our way back due to technical reasons on the flight. Anyway. UNFORGETTABLE THE PRIVATE TOUR!

We decided to choose the private tour as we don't enjoy group tours and it was well worth the extra money. Our tour guide Will was amazing. He had so much knowledge but kept it tailored to our needs, it was really good fun and we had a good laugh. He also gave us advice on how to deal with the sellers at the pyramids and what was worth doing and not worth paying extra for. He also took lots of pictures of us without us even asking. We enjoyed the whole day from beginning to end and couldn't praise the company or our tour guide highly enough. Absolutely amazing!

we booked a private tour to Cairo on the 2nd March 2015, after reading previous reviews on here and on tripadviser, and oh boy they were so accurate, it was fabulous,and i have to say it was one of the best excursions we have ever been on. not just to see the sights but the staff they employ are amazing, from the admin staff, drivers and tours guides all wanted to ensure we had a great time. we were met in Cairo at the airport by Mahmoud, what a great guy, he was friendly and attentive and very knowledgeable not just on Egyptian history ( which was immense). during the journeys between airport, attractions, lunch etc we had great conversations about the world in general and both our cultures, i really enjoyed these conversations. we felt completely safe and well looked after by everyone we met ( we booked 3 different trips). i have no hesitation in recommending Sharm Excursions as you will be well looked after. we plan going back to Sharm next year around the same time, and i will be booking the Luxor trip through Sharm excursions. we left Cairo at the end of the day feeling we had made a new friend in Mahmoud, we would hope that sometime in the future we would get to meet him again. we could not praise him enough.
mabye i would do the Cairo trip again in 2017, as we both loved our first ever trip to Sharm and intend to make it an annual event.
one point though, the trips to the Papyrus museum and Oil factory distract from what you are really there for, we would have preferred more time both at the Cairo museum and the Pyramids rather than lose time at both these places, yes they were interesting but pale into comparison with the main attractions.
If we do go back to Cairo we will ask to give these a miss.
ratings out of 5 Driver for the day 5 stars Tour Guide Mahmoud 5 stars ( more if i could) boat trip and lunch on the Nile 5 stars ( you do have to pay extra for this, but worth it) Papyrus Museum 2 stars Oil factory 2 stars Egyptian museum and Pyramids ( do I really have to rate them, there are not enough stars in the sky to do them justice, just amazing we were awestruck)

I booked this excursion on line and was very impressed with the service I received from the booking stage to the ease of the pick up and tour itself. Our private tour guide Mohamed was excellent and full of helpful information on both the history and tourist information regarding the local community. Our day was was well planned and I would recommend paying the little bit extra for the private tour with Mohamed.

Hi,
We are thinking about going to Cairo for the day from Sharm in October. I am deciding on just a flight or a flight and guided tour. We are most interested in the Pyramids and the museum, and have already seen perfume factory and Papparus making. Is it possible to do stay longer here and there and still eat with the tour etc...? Many thanks, Nancy
