Is 5 Days Enough for Cairo and Hurghada?

Yes, if you want the pyramids and some sea time in a short break. Cairo has a full sightseeing day on day 2, and Hurghada has the snorkelling trip and a desert safari. If that feels short in Cairo, the 6 days Cairo and Hurghada package with an extra Cairo night gives you more time in the capital. The 7 days Cairo and Hurghada holiday is longer still.

What the 5 Days Cairo and Hurghada Tour Package Includes

The package price covers these main items:

  • Hotels: 2 nights in a Cairo hotel and 2 nights in a Hurghada resort.
  • Flights: return domestic flights between Cairo and Hurghada.
  • Guide: a private Egyptologist guide for every guided visit.
  • Transfers: all transfers in private, air-conditioned vehicles.
  • Site entry: entrance fees for the historical sites on the itinerary.
  • Airport service: meet and assist at Cairo International Airport on arrival and departure.

Red Sea Snorkelling Day in Hurghada

Day 3 is your first full day on the Red Sea coast. The snorkelling trip is the only activity planned, and with no flight the pace is gentler than on day 2.

If the length of the snorkelling trip or the vehicle on the day 4 desert safari matters to you, ask us before you book. For more time on the coast, see private Hurghada tours and Red Sea excursions.

Can You Adjust This Private Tour?

Yes. Travel Joy Egypt tours are private and fully customisable. If 5 days is not the right length, ask for a tailor-made version with your own dates and pace.
