Hurghada Air Tours

Hurghada Air Tours is a set of activities that enables Hurghada visitors to shorten the time spent on the way and fly high to enjoy the views of a particular site or to have a panoramic view over it.

Air Tours to Cairo

Upon arrival in Hurghada, you will be promptly transported from your hotel to the airport for your short flight to Cairo. Upon exiting the terminal, your tour guide will be waiting for you holding a Landious Travel Board, as he is not permitted inside the airport terminal.

Egyptian Museum Stop

Our first stop is the renowned Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, the Egyptian Museum or the Cairo Museum. This museum, established by Mohamed Ali Pasha in 1825, is the largest in the world, holding over 100,000 pieces of ancient Egyptian antiquities—Marvel at the golden mask of Tutankhamun. This incredible sight is not to be missed.

We highly recommend visiting the mummy room for an additional cost. Next, you can take a motorboat down the Nile and witness the beautiful sights of Cairo for an additional 15 GBP.

Lunch and El Khan Market

Lunch will be served as an open buffet, but soft drinks are not included. After lunch, you will also have free time to shop in Khan el Khalili.

Giza Pyramids stop

Our next stop will be the 5000-year-old necropolis in Giza, home to the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx. These magnificent structures were built in the 4th dynasty as tombs for the Kings and Queens of Egypt. There are three main pyramids here, with the grand pyramid of Khufu being the most famous, most extensive, tallest, and most intact. For 4300 years, it held the title of the tallest building on earth until the Eiffel Tower was built in 1889.

Entry into the Great Pyramid costs 400 LE for adults and 200 LE for children. We will then witness the Great Sphinx, a limestone statue of a reclining Sphinx with the body of a lion and the head of a human, facing directly from West to East.

Departure

Before returning to the airport, we will take you to a perfume shop to browse or shop for pure fragranced oils that are longer-lasting and alcohol-free. Finally, we will transport you back to Cairo International Airport for your short flight back to Hurghada. Upon arrival in Hurghada, we will transport you back to your hotel.

Hurghada

Hurghada is considered one of the most prominent tourist centres in Egypt. The city stretches 30 kilometres of the Red Sea coastline toward the country’s south. Visitors can experience various activities, from water sports to safari excursions. Expect a subtropical desert climate, with long, hot, dry summers and short, mild winters.

The average summer temperature is 33 to 34 degrees Celsius, with temperatures falling to a more favourable 19 to 22 degrees Celsius in winter. This city rarely experiences rainfall, so a sunbathing beach holiday is still a genuine possibility well into the winter months. One of the best times of the year to visit is during March when the nights are pleasantly cool, and the water temperature is a balmy 22 degrees Celsius.

Many of the beach hotel resorts in the region are all within a 15 to 30-minute drive away.

Renowned for its sunbeams and striking scenery, over and under the water. The Red Sea Riviera has long been a holiday ideal for sunbathing and a world-class diving destination from shining Hurghada City to the tranquil Makadi Bay and the scenic lagoon resort of El Gouna.

Tours to Cairo by Air

You can fly from Hurghada to Cairo by plane and experience an exciting Hurghada transfer to the pyramids. Your guide will meet you in front of your Hurghada hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle, pick you up from your hotel, and take you to the airport to catch your flight to Cairo.

Once you reach Cairo, you will be welcomed by the Egyptologist, who will guide you throughout the tour, and you will start your tour in Giza, where you will visit the famous Pyramids of Chephren Cheops, Mykerinos, and the Sphinx.

Head to the Egyptian Museum, where you will find some treasures of the young pharaoh Tutankhamun this afternoon. Later you can go shopping in Cairo. Once there, our driver will escort you back to your hotel.

The most exciting sights in and around Hurghada

An important landmark for fans of architecture is Hurghada’s Coptic Church, located some seven kilometres north of the city centre. It can be viewed in all its glory from sunrise to sunset and stands as one of the few Christian churches in the region. Built in a classic British style in 1922, the original church was demolished in 2008 before being completely rebuilt. Adjacent to this church is the ad-Dahar district, a pedestrianized zone packed with small shops, boutiques and bazaars. This colourful district is a great way to immerse yourself in local life.

Various mosques in the city need to be visited to appreciate their architecture. However, remember that these mosques are private and not open to tourists. An aquarium in the town provides a great day-trip destination for family groups, while the Sekalla district boasts a marina that will go down well with boating enthusiasts. Once you’ve made the trip to Hurghada, you could head further afield to Cairo to admire the iconic sights of the Egyptian capital.

Hurghada Airport (HRG) – a user-friendly travel hub

Hurghada Airport is designed with convenience in mind. In addition to many coffee stands, restaurants and shops, you’ll find a currency exchange service with staffed kiosk desks and self-service banking machines available. There are also numerous public telephones for when you need to make international calls but are having trouble with your smartphone. The airport is incredibly child-friendly, with specially equipped play areas to keep the little ones occupied during those long waits.

When you arrive in Hurghada, you will be amazed at how quickly transfers into the city centre are made. A regular bus shuttle gets tourists from the airport to the heart of town in as little as 20 minutes. This service can be paid for on the day or pre-booked and paid for online to save you even more time after you land. If you’re hiring a car and driving yourself, you can expect to arrive in the centre of town within 15 minutes.
