Super Cairo is our most complete bus tour from Hurghada and has no stops at papyrus or perfume shops, so every hour goes to the sights.

Pyramids and the Sphinx

Three stops on the Giza plateau — the panoramic viewpoint, the area between the pyramids of Khafre and Khufu, and the Great Sphinx — plus free time to go inside a pyramid if you wish (separate ticket).

The Egyptian Museum

The historic museum on Tahrir Square holds one of the world’s largest collections of ancient Egyptian art, arranged in chronological order. Your guide shows you the highlights.

Coptic and Islamic Cairo

  • The Hanging Church — built over the gatehouse of the Roman fortress of Babylon, so its nave seems to hang in the air.
  • The Church of Abu Serga — one of the oldest churches in Egypt, built according to tradition where the Holy Family sheltered.
  • The Mosque of Amr ibn al-As — the first mosque in Egypt and in Africa, founded in the 7th century.

The day also includes a Nile boat ride and lunch.

An amazing, unforgettable trip with so much to see. Half the price of the tour operator at the hotel, and the quality was top-notch. Special thanks to our guide Amir! Highly recommended!

Tours like this let you discover cultural and religious heritage that has survived for centuries. They broaden your horizons and help you understand the history and culture of other peoples. All in all, visiting pilgrimage sites and historic landmarks is a unique experience that takes you back to another era and introduces you to remarkable people and events of the past.

Huge thanks to whoever thought of including the pilgrimage sites in the tour — especially the Church of Abu Serga, a place with an amazing atmosphere. Business and the spiritual combined, so to speak)) There was a slight hitch with the mummies at the museum, but the organiser warned us honestly in advance that they had been moved.
