This 2 day trip to Cairo from Makadi Bay by bus gives you the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Pyramids and the Sphinx on day one, a night in a 4★ Cairo hotel, and a second day of your choice: Old Cairo or Saqqara. The coach leaves Makadi Bay early in the morning and the drive takes about 6 hours each way.
You make the long drive once, sleep in Cairo and wake up with a full second day, instead of cramming two journeys into one. Day one covers what most people come for: the Grand Egyptian Museum, where the full Tutankhamun collection is displayed together, and the Giza Plateau next door. On day two you decide: Program A for the Citadel, the churches of Coptic Cairo and the bazaar, or Program B for the Step Pyramid at Saqqara and the open-air museum at Memphis.
Your Egyptologist stays with you throughout, and entrance fees, two lunches and breakfast at the hotel are included. It suits travelers who want to see Cairo properly without rushing, and who don’t mind an early start and a day of travel at each end.
Don’t just see history — live it.
Join our Hurghada to Cairo Trip from Makadi Bay by bus and explore the wonders that shaped the world.
Reserve your seat today and walk in the footsteps of the Pharaohs.
[Time]: pickup from your hotel.
The coach collects you from your hotel in Makadi Bay while it is still dark. Order a breakfast box from reception the evening before, because there is no time for a sit-down breakfast.
About 6 hours on the road.
The route follows the Red Sea coast and then crosses the desert. Most people sleep for part of it, so bring a pillow. There is a coffee and bathroom stop on the way.
The Grand Egyptian Museum.
Your Egyptologist meets you in Cairo and takes you into the museum beside the Giza Plateau. The main galleries trace ancient Egypt from its earliest kings, and the Tutankhamun galleries show the young king's treasures together, including the golden burial mask [confirm that the mask and galleries are on display on your visit date]. Your guide explains what you are looking at, so you leave with the story and not only the photos.
Lunch.
A traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. If you like, you can add a short felucca ride on the Nile afterwards (optional, extra cost) [confirm it is still offered with the GEM route].
The Giza Plateau.
You stand in front of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the three, then see the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure and the Great Sphinx [and the Valley Temple, if on your route]. Your guide explains how they were built and why.
Evening.
Check in at your 4★ hotel. Dinner is at your leisure.
After breakfast you follow Program A or Program B, chosen when you book.
Program A: Old Cairo and Islamic heritage
Program B: Saqqara and Memphis
