Privétour: Cairo Dagtrip vanuit Hurghada

Hoogtepunten

Inbegrepen

Route

1. Verlaat je Hurghada-hotel heel vroeg met een privévoertuig met airconditioning en maak de reis naar de hoofdstad Caïro. Bij aankomst ontmoet je je eigen Egyptoloog-gids en start je tour door de hoogtepunten van deze wereldberoemde stad. Ga eerst naar het Gizeh-plateau om de Gizeh-piramides te zien. Bewonder de drie machtige grafgraven, gebouwd rond 2500 voor Christus, en een van de laatst overgebleven oude wereldwonderen. Feest je ogen op de grootste van de graven: de Grote Piramide. Gebouwd uit 2,3 miljoen stenen blokken, dit ongelooflijke bouwwerk is een meesterwerk van engineering en er wordt aangenomen dat het tot 20 jaar heeft geduurd om te bouwen. Bekijk de raadselachtige Sphinx, het mysterieuze standbeeld van een leeuw met een mensenhoofd die de piramides bewaakt, en als je wilt, ga je naar binnen (extra kosten) een van de piramides om getuige te zijn van de binnenkamers - het is je gids niet toegestaan om je te vergezellen tijdens een bezoek. Bezoek ook het Solar Boat Museum (extra kosten), de thuisbasis van de prachtige funeraire boot van Khufu, de farao voor wie de Grote Piramide werd gebouwd. Kijk vol ontzag naar de boot van cederhout, die werd gebruikt om het lichaam van Khufu naar de locatie te vervoeren en ontdek hoe de overblijfselen werden ontdekt en weer in elkaar gezet. Stop daarna voor de lunch en ga verder naar het Egyptische Museum van Caïro, de thuisbasis van een verbazingwekkende verzameling van ongeveer 120.000 oude artefacten. Verken enkele van de hoogtepunten van het museum, waaronder de must-see Tutankhamun-collectie. Laat je verleiden door het gouden dodenmasker, de doodskisten en de begrafenisrijkdom van de jongenskoning en leer over dit korte bewind en de mysteries van zijn dood. Bezoek vervolgens de bazaar van Khan el-Khalili, de belangrijkste souk van Caïro. Duik in de drukke steegjes en onderhandel misschien voor souvenirs in de winkels die snuisterijen, goud, kruiden en andere goodies verkopen. Breng een bezoek aan een papyrusinstituut om te zien hoe deze aloude kunstwerken worden gemaakt en koop desgewenst enkele papyrusschilderijen als aandenkens. Keer ten slotte terug naar Hurghada, waar je dag eindigt met een hotelaflevering.

• 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 is een badplaats aan de Rode Zee op het Egyptische vasteland, geliefd om koraalriffen, warm water, woestijnuitstapjes en ontspannen stranddagen.

De stad strekt zich uit langs de kust, van de oudere wijk El Dahar met zijn soek en vismarkt tot de jachthaven bij Sakkala en de resortstrook in het zuiden. Voor de kust wemelen de riffen en eilanden van de Rode Zee van kleurrijke vissen en koraaltuinen, en soms zie je dolfijnen, waardoor snorkelen en duiken de belangrijkste trekpleisters zijn.
