€65Adult · age 10+

Approximately 17 hours overall; shared bus with a maximum of 30 guests. Traffic, rest stops and operations affect timings.

Family example: 2 adults + a child aged 8 = €165 with Hurghada pickup, before supplements and optional purchases. This is the sum of the fares, not a package discount.

What your booking includes & what to check

  • Museum: This itinerary visits the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir. Choose the separate GEM itinerary if you want the Grand Egyptian Museum.
  • Included and extra tickets: Standard Tahrir Museum and Giza Plateau admission are included. Entry inside the Great Pyramid, an optional Nile boat trip and personal purchases cost extra.
  • Hotel pickup: Hurghada pickup and return are included. Outside-Hurghada hotels require a transfer quote; the exact pickup time is confirmed after checking your hotel.

Choose your Cairo museum before booking

This page books the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir and Giza by bus. For the Grand Egyptian Museum, see the GEM and Pyramids bus tour. For a smaller shared group visiting Tahrir and Giza, compare the Cairo mini-bus tour. Check the named museum, transport and price on the selected program before reserving.

What to Expect

This is a long full-day road trip from Hurghada to Cairo. After the early pickup and bus journey, visit the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir with an Egyptologist guide, have lunch, then continue to the Giza Plateau for the Pyramids and Great Sphinx. An optional Nile boat trip may be offered before the return journey to Hurghada.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book the Tahrir Museum and Pyramids bus tour and pay on the day?

Select an available date and start time, enter the travelers for the correct age categories, and continue through the booking form. You can also contact us on WhatsApp with your date, exact hotel, guest numbers and children's ages. For cash-on-arrival bookings, payment is due at pickup on the day of the tour, before it begins; no advance deposit is required. Keep the written confirmation of your selected museum, vehicle, total and pickup details.

How many guests can join, and is the tour private?

This is a shared bus tour for a maximum of 30 guests. The booking is not for a private bus.

Which museum does this tour visit?

The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, not the Grand Egyptian Museum.

Will I see the complete Tutankhamun collection and golden mask at Tahrir?

No. The principal Tutankhamun collection is associated with the Grand Egyptian Museum; choose the GEM tour if that is your priority.

Are the Pyramids and Sphinx included?

Yes.

Is entry inside the Great Pyramid included?

No, it requires a separate ticket.

What about pickup from hotels outside Hurghada?

Hurghada hotel pickup and return are included. For Cairo tours, the additional round-trip transfer supplement is €5 per person from Makadi Bay or Sahl Hasheesh, and €10 per person from El Gouna, Safaga or Soma Bay. Send the complete hotel name so we can confirm its pickup zone and the final total before booking.

Is the trip suitable if I have limited mobility?

The day includes bus travel, walking and steps at the sites. Tell us your mobility needs before booking so transport and site access can be checked.

Can I take this tour without buying optional extras?

Yes. The listed standard museum and Giza admissions are included in your selected program. Entry inside the Great Pyramid, a Nile boat trip if offered, and personal purchases are optional extras. Check the price and available time with the guide before choosing an extra. Any applicable hotel transfer supplement outside Hurghada must be confirmed separately before booking.

Wir haben bei Hurghada Travels insgesamt drei Ausflüge gebucht – einen Spa-Besuch, die Super Safari und den Schnorchelausflug nach Orange Bay – und können nur sagen: Es war einfach perfekt! Schon der Kontakt über WhatsApp war super unkompliziert. Alle Absprachen wurden genau so eingehalten, wie sie vorher vereinbart waren. Man hatte von Anfang an ein gutes Gefühl und konnte sich darauf verlassen, dass alles funktioniert. Genau so wünscht man sich das im Urlaub. Alle drei Ausflüge waren hervorragend organisiert und haben unserer ganzen Familie unglaublich viel Spaß gemacht. Wir haben uns jederzeit gut aufgehoben gefühlt und wurden überall freundlich und herzlich empfangen. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die Ehrlichkeit und Zuverlässigkeit. Hurghada Travels ist absolut vertrauenswürdig – keine leeren Versprechen, sondern genau das, was vorher besprochen wurde. Vielen Dank für die wunderschönen Erlebnisse und den tollen Service. Wir würden jederzeit wieder bei Hurghada Travels buchen und können das Team von Herzen weiterempfehlen. 5 Sterne!
