7-Day Cairo & Hurghada: Ancient Wonders & Red Sea

From$765/ person
Free Cancellation

Overview

Uncover Egypt's soul on a 7-day tour for seniors! Explore Cairo's pyramids and historic sites, then relax by the Red Sea in Hurghada. Perfectly paced. Book now!

This 7-day, 6-night package pairs Cairo's ancient monuments with several unhurried days on the Red Sea coast at Hurghada, giving travelers a slower-paced trip that balances sightseeing with genuine downtime.

The Cairo portion covers the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx, the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Valley Temple, a Nile dinner cruise with local entertainment, and Old Cairo's Hanging Church, Ben Ezra Synagogue, and the Salah El Din Citadel with its Mohamed Ali Mosque. A domestic flight then moves the group to Hurghada for three full days at leisure by the Red Sea, with the resort's own amenities and optional gentle water activities available before flying back to Cairo for departure.

The trip includes three nights each in a Cairo hotel and a Red Sea resort in Hurghada, the internal flight between the two cities, meet-and-assist airport service, an Egyptologist guide for all sightseeing days, private ground transfers, entrance fees to every listed site, and the meals specified in the itinerary; international airfare, gratuities, and optional extra activities are not included.

Because roughly half the trip is set aside for resort time rather than touring, this itinerary suits travelers, including older or less mobile guests, who want Cairo's landmarks covered thoroughly but without a packed day-after-day sightseeing pace.
