Day 3 + 4 | Cairo (optional)
With your travel companion, you will set off early in the morning (around 5:00 AM) for an excursion to Cairo, whose roots date back to the dynasties of the ancient pharaohs. Unique and admirable are the testimonies of a history over 4,500 years old, of which the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum (newly opened in 2025) tell impressively to this day. Afterwards, you will visit Old Cairo with its Coptic churches and the synagogue and continue to check into the hotel. Dinner and overnight stay in a 4-star hotel in the Cairo area.
The next morning, after breakfast, you will leave the hotel and head to the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, whose structure very well illustrates the development of pyramid construction. To conclude, the historic district from the Islamic period in Cairo enchants you with magnificent mosques and the famous bazaar, leading you into a fairy tale from 1001 Nights. After shopping at the bazaar, you will return to Hurghada in the afternoon, arriving around 9:00 PM. (Optional to book before the trip, 2-day trip to Cairo in double room €260 per person / in single room €285)
