How to Choose Between Hurghada Tours
Pick by the kind of day you want: water, sand or ancient Egypt. The table compares the main tour types.
| Tour type | Example | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Boat and snorkelling | Giftun Island and Orange Bay | Families and first-time snorkellers |
| Dry sea views | Semi-submarine tour | Non-swimmers and all ages |
| Wildlife | Dolphin House (Sha'ab El Erg) | Snorkellers hoping to see wild dolphins |
| Dive day | 2 guided Red Sea dives | First-time and experienced divers |
| Desert safari | Quad, camel and Bedouin village | Active travellers with half a day |
| Ancient Egypt | Luxor day trip | Temple lovers staying on the coast |
| Pyramids | Cairo and Giza day trip | Pyramid fans who accept a long day |
| Multi-day | 5 days Nile cruise from Hurghada | Guests adding Luxor and Aswan |
Boat days and the desert safari suit a short stay; Luxor, Cairo and the Nile cruise take a long day or more.
Boat Trips, Snorkelling and Dolphin House
Giftun Island and Orange Bay are the Red Sea's main boat-trip stops out of Hurghada. On the private Giftun Island and Orange Bay snorkelling trip you board a private yacht at the marina, hear a briefing from the captain, then anchor near Orange Bay for a swim, beach time and lunch on board.
The private Dolphin House (Sha'ab El Erg) snorkelling trip keeps any encounter with the dolphins respectful and ethical, because the animals stay wild in their own habitat. The Dolphin House visitor guide explains what to expect before you decide.
Desert Safaris and Diving Days
The half-day Hurghada Desert Thrills safari runs entirely from Hurghada: you ride a quad bike across the Eastern Desert, then sip tea in a Bedouin village and take a short camel ride. The Hurghada Super Safari by Quads covers a 45 km round-trip route, with a Bedouin village visit, a camel ride and a barbecue dinner.
For time underwater, the Discover Scuba Diving day trip includes 2 guided Red Sea dives and suits first-time and experienced divers. Ask us about age limits and health requirements for quad and diving days before you book.
Luxor and Cairo Day Trips from Hurghada
Both ancient Egypt trips from the coast mean a long day, so allow for the journey time. The private Luxor day trip from Hurghada visits Luxor's temples, with around 3.5 to 4 hours of driving each way.
Cairo is further. By private air-conditioned car the road takes around 4.5 to 6 hours each way, while the domestic flight option cuts the journey to roughly 1 hour in the air each way. The Cairo and Giza pyramids day trip from Hurghada pairs the Giza Plateau with the Grand Egyptian Museum and the complete Tutankhamun collection. By road this is a very long day, so the flight option or a night in Cairo is more comfortable.
Where Do the Tours Start?
Not every Hurghada trip starts in Hurghada. We also run an El Gouna snorkelling cruise, Marsa Alam diving and Safaga Port shore excursions for cruise passengers, so check the starting point before you book. The Luxor day trip picks up from hotels in Hurghada, El Gouna, Sahl Hasheesh and Makadi Bay.
How Many Days Do You Need in Hurghada?
Plan on 3 to 4 days if you want beach time as well as activities. A Giftun Island or Orange Bay snorkelling trip and a desert quad safari fit into 2 days. Our Hurghada travel guide for planning your stay goes into more detail.
Add a day each for Luxor and Cairo if you want ancient Egypt on the same trip. The 5 days Nile cruise from Hurghada is a 5-star Luxor-to-Aswan cruise with 4 nights on board and pickup and drop-off at your Hurghada hotel.
