Tour privato: escursione al Cairo da Hurghada

In evidenza

Incluso

Itinerario

1. Lascia il tuo hotel a Hurghada molto presto con un veicolo privato e dotato di aria condizionata e fai un viaggio verso la capitale, il Cairo. All'arrivo, incontra la tua guida egittologa privata e inizia il tuo tour dei punti salienti di questa città famosa in tutto il mondo. Dirigiti prima all'altopiano di Giza per vedere le piramidi di Giza. Lasciati incantare dalle tre potenti tombe sepolcrali, costruite intorno al 2.500 a.C., e una delle ultime antiche meraviglie del mondo rimaste. Rifatevi gli occhi con la più grande delle tombe: la Grande Piramide. Costruito da 2,3 milioni di blocchi di pietra, questo incredibile edificio è un capolavoro di ingegneria e si ritiene che abbia impiegato fino a 20 anni per essere costruito. Ammira l'enigmatica Sfinge, la misteriosa statua di un leone dalla testa umana che custodisce le piramidi e, se lo desideri, vai all'interno (costo aggiuntivo) di una delle piramidi per assistere alle camere interne - la tua guida non è autorizzata ad accompagnarti durante un visita. Inoltre, forse visitare il Museo della barca solare (costo aggiuntivo), sede della splendida barca funeraria di Khufu, il faraone per il quale fu costruita la Grande Piramide. Ammirate la barca in legno di cedro, utilizzata per trasportare il corpo di Khufu sul sito e scoprire come i suoi resti sono stati scoperti e riassemblati. Successivamente, fermati per il pranzo e prosegui per il Museo Egizio del Cairo, che ospita una sorprendente collezione di circa 120.000 reperti antichi. Esplora alcuni dei punti salienti del museo, tra cui la collezione Tutankhamun da non perdere. Lasciati stupire dalla maschera d'oro della morte del ragazzo re, dalle bare e dalle ricchezze funerarie e scopri questo breve regno e i misteri della sua morte. Successivamente, visita il bazar di Khan el-Khalili, il suk principale del Cairo. Immergiti nelle vivaci stradine e magari cerca i souvenir nei negozi che vendono bigiotteria, oro, spezie e altre prelibatezze. Fai una visita a un istituto di papiro per vedere come vengono create queste antiche opere d'arte e, se lo desideri, acquista alcuni dipinti di papiri come ricordi. Infine, torna a Hurghada, dove la giornata termina con un rientro in hotel.

• 2Poor Communication and letdown from the beginning

  My anticipation for the journey from Hurghada to Cairo was met with mixed feelings and let down right from the beginning. The promise of a Minivan for our travel comfort was the initial letdown, as we were provided with a sedan car instead. This not only affected the spaciousness we expected traveling with a customer, but also raised concerns when the tour operator did not offer any solution when questioned about the change. On a positive note, the guide assigned to us was incredibly helpful and patient in guiding us for the shopping in the market, ensuring our day was as smooth as possible. However, when it came to the rich history of the places we visited, the information provided felt very limited. For a city steeped in history like Cairo, I expected a more comprehensive narrative to truly appreciate the sites. In conclusion, for the price I paid, I was expecting more comfort and value, which I did not receive from this tour.

• 4Great!

  It was pretty awesome to see the pyramids despite the very early start (2.30am!). Our drivers were fantastic and very professional throughout the whole day. They dealt with the traffic in Cairo very well and we felt safe with them the whole day. Thank you Mohammed and Mahmoud! We visited the Egyptian Museum first which was pretty cool although tired looking, but to be expected as a new one is being built in its stead. The Tutankhamen exhibit was amazing and we enjoyed the exhibits throughout which were rich with history. The pyramids and sphinx were definitely the highlight and it was pretty epic to get to view an ancient wonder of the world in person! Our tour guide could have done with slowing down a bit and we could have done without the visit to the papyrus and the perfume shops but otherwise the buffet lunch was good. Definitely worth the trip!

• 5A wonderful tour!

  We started the day with a very early morning. Our driver picked us up at around 2:45am but we thankfully had the opportunity to sleep in the car. Once we were about an hour or so away from Cairo we woke up and took in the sights during the remainder of the drive (it is worth noting that there are several police checkpoints that do take time). Once in Cairo our first stop was the Museum of Egypt and that’s where we met our lovely guide Yasmine - she showed us all the highlights and provided us with some incredible information. It was an amazing place to visit and we are so glad we went with a guide. As a lovely surprise we ended up going on a short boat ride along the Nile which was a well needed chance to cool down! We then popped into the cotton shop which provided an opportunity to buy headscarf’s or T-shirts made from Egyptian cotton. The next stop was to a shop that offers camel and horse riding around the pyramids. This was a cool experience but as a complete beginner with regards to these sorts of animals I did find this experience a little scary! I almost wish there was a chance to ride on a carriage (which some other companies offer). The pyramids and sphinx were unbelievable and truly are a once in a lifetime experience that we will remember forever. We then had a nice buffet at 4pm for lunch which was a well needed break! The final two trips were a bazar and also a papyrus museum which were fairly brief but interesting. Our lovely driver then dropped us home safe and sound after a very long day (about 22 hours)! We had a wonderful trip and would recommend this to anyone but would advise to bring out enough money for the wonderful extras that were on offer :)

• 2Very expensive trip

  I wouldn't choose this tour. We went for private tour so we can take our time because we have a toddler. Tour guide rushed us and we expected to pay for tickets on top but having researched it before and the amount the tour guide asked us was drastically different. He also tried to sneak through the museum without a ticket until the security noticed and he paid them off at the door. So we assume this extra money he asked us for was to pay for his ticket which he clearly didn't purchase. After all the costs of the tickets it came up to way more then the the trip itself was worth. Highly advise going with a tour which include ticket prices. This will still be cheaper then what we spent. He also chose a local restaurant which clearly wasn't equipped for toddlers knowing we bought a toddler the restaurant had no high chairs. Also said they provide infant car seat which they didn't. The saving grace of the whole trip had to be our driver who was very accommodating, lovely man.

• 3More Expensive than described

  Pick up and travel in Cairo was really good. However there are many additional costs to consider:tips, entrance, fees, drinks… We just wanted to have a quick look in the old town of Cairo as we thought that it was included in the Itenary. Our guide proceeded to take us there an show us around for 15 minutes, only to inform us afterwards that it were not included and charged us 200EGP (13$) per person for the small detour. Af the end of the day we easily spend another 100$ on top of the price of these tickets because of many “options” as the guide explained it to us. Apart from that it was a really nice experience and the transportation from A to B was really good and smooth.

• 5Must do trip!

  We had an amazing trip, the ride from Hurgada to Cairo is pretty long but the car was very comfortable and new, the driver made us feel very safe and we had different stops to go to the toilet and have a drink. We saw all the main attractions and they were soooo worth it. We also want to thank the our guide who was very clear in his explanation and who was always available for any questions we had. It was a day that we will never forget!

About Hurghada

Hurghada, sul Mar Rosso in Egitto, è amata per barriere coralline, acque calde, escursioni nel deserto e facili giornate di spiaggia.

La città si allunga lungo la costa, dal quartiere più antico di El Dahar con il suo suq e il mercato del pesce fino al porticciolo di Sakkala e alla fascia di resort a sud. Al largo, le barriere coralline e le isole del Mar Rosso brulicano di pesci colorati e giardini di corallo, e talvolta si vedono delfini, il che rende snorkeling e immersioni le principali attrattive.
