Unforgettable Cairo and Alexandria Tour From Hurghada

A 2-day, 1-night tour to Cairo and Alexandria from Hurghada by plane offers an action-packed journey through Egypt’s top historical sites, typically covering Cairo’s pyramids and museums alongside Alexandria’s Roman and Mediterranean landmarks, offering a time-efficient way to explore Egypt’s most historic cities.

On day 1, your journey begins with an early pickup from your Hurghada hotel, followed by a short domestic flight to Cairo, which is far more comfortable than overland travel for this distance. Upon arrival, you’ll meet your private Egyptologist guide and begin your sightseeing at the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the Valley Temple of Khafre. Continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum, then enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before transferring to your 5-star Cairo hotel for an overnight stay. For travelers inspired to explore further, this itinerary pairs well with other Popular Hurghada excursions, especially if you’re planning a longer Red Sea stay.

On Day 2, after breakfast and hotel checkout, travel by private vehicle to Alexandria. Visit the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Pompey’s Pillar, the Citadel of Qaitbay, and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, followed by lunch at a local Alexandria restaurant. In the afternoon, return to Cairo for your evening flight back to Hurghada. If your schedule is tight, a day trip to Cairo by plane can be a practical alternative to the full two-day journey.
