Cairo, Siwa And Hurghada 10-Day Egypt Tour

After breakfast, your guide takes you to the Monumental Giza Pyramids. You see the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure from the plateau, with time to walk between the viewpoints and hear how the complex was planned as a royal burial landscape. Entry inside a pyramid, when available and selected, involves narrow passages and is separate from the general site visit.

Continue to the Legendary Great Sphinx, where the lion-bodied monument faces the pyramid area. Your guide explains the carved limestone figure and the surrounding temple remains before you leave the plateau for lunch or a short rest.

In the afternoon, visit the Comprehensive Egyptian Museum in central Cairo. Its galleries place statues, jewellery, funerary objects and everyday artefacts in a broad historical sequence. Allow time for security checks and walking between rooms; the museum visit is substantial, so your guide keeps the route focused rather than trying to cover every display.

Today explores Cairo beyond the pyramid plateau. Begin in the historic centre, where old lanes, mosque courtyards and stone façades show how the city developed around religious, commercial and residential districts. Your guide sets the pace according to the group, with pauses for photographs and explanations rather than a rushed list of stops.

Continue through the area around the Citadel and visit one of its principal mosques when open. From the elevated grounds, you can see how Cairo spreads across the plain, while the interiors provide a quieter contrast to the traffic outside. Modest clothing and easy-to-remove footwear are useful for religious sites.

Later, walk through a traditional market area with time to browse spices, household goods and crafts. Shopping is optional, and our team can help with directions and meeting points if you prefer to sit in a café or take a shorter walk. Return to the hotel for an evening at leisure before the long road journey to Siwa.

After breakfast, leave Cairo for Siwa by road. This is a long overland transfer across the Western Desert, so the day is built around the journey rather than a full sightseeing schedule. Settle into the vehicle, keep water close, and expect stretches of open landscape broken by service stops and rest breaks.

As the road continues west, the urban outskirts give way to arid plains and low desert horizons. Our driver handles the route while you travel with your guide, who can explain the geography and the difference between the cultivated oasis and the surrounding desert. The final approach to Siwa brings palms, fields and scattered settlement into view.

On arrival, check in and take time to recover from the transfer. If daylight and local arrangements allow, enjoy a short walk near the accommodation, but the main Siwa visits are scheduled for the following day. Wear loose clothing, protect yourself from the sun, and keep any valuables with you during the road journey.

Start with Siwa's natural water landscapes, including its hypersaline mineral-rich lakes. The high salt content can help swimmers float, but conditions vary and you should follow local guidance before entering the water. The surrounding palms and pale desert hills create a clear contrast with Cairo's dense streets.

Continue to the Ancient Oracle sanctuary temple at Aghurmi, associated with the oracle consulted by Alexander the Great. Then visit the Historic Gebel Al Mawta burial grounds, where tombs cut into the hillside contain painted details from different periods. A short drive brings you to the Natural Cleopatra's spring bathhouse, a traditional bathing spot fed by a natural spring.

Later, take part in Thrilling desert adventure expeditions by four-wheel-drive vehicle across the Expansive Great Sand Sea dunes. The route includes open desert views and time to watch the changing light on the sand. Return to Siwa for the night after this full, active day.

After breakfast, begin the return road transfer from Siwa to Cairo. The journey retraces the desert route, with the oasis gradually giving way to long, dry stretches and then the wider road network around the capital. Because this transfer takes much of the day, wear comfortable clothes and keep a small day bag beside you rather than packing everything in the luggage compartment.

Breaks are arranged along the way for refreshments and rest. Your guide remains available to help with practical questions, while the driver focuses on the road. Traffic can affect the final approach to Cairo, so the arrival time may vary even when the transfer starts as planned.

Once you reach the city, check in and relax. There is no major scheduled sightseeing this evening. You may prefer a quiet dinner and an early night before travelling south, or take a short walk near the hotel if you still have energy. Confirm your luggage arrangements for the next transfer to Hurghada.

Leave Cairo after breakfast for the transfer to Hurghada. The road heads east through the desert towards the Red Sea, changing from the capital's dense traffic to broad mountain and coastal landscapes. The journey takes several hours, with a rest stop planned during the drive. Keep water, sunglasses and a light layer within reach as the scenery and temperature can change during the day.

On arrival in Hurghada, check in and take time to settle into your room. Our team explains the arrangements for the following days, including meeting points and any boat or beach activity details once confirmed. The afternoon is free for a first look at the waterfront, a relaxed meal or rest after the transfer.

This is a transition day, so the schedule stays flexible. If you choose to swim, use the designated areas and follow local instructions about sea conditions. The next two days allow more time for the coast, with activities adjusted to the confirmed plan and conditions.

Enjoy a full day by the Red Sea in Hurghada. Depending on the confirmed arrangement, you may spend the morning at a beach or join a boat-based outing to a suitable swimming and snorkelling area. The focus is on an easy coastal day: travel to the water, receive the local safety briefing, and enter the sea only when the crew or beach staff confirms that conditions are suitable.

Snorkelling equipment is normally provided for organised outings, while prescription masks and personal items are best brought from home when needed. You do not have to take part in every water activity. A shaded place to rest, sunscreen, a hat and a cover-up make the day more comfortable, especially during the middle of the day.

Return to Hurghada later for time at leisure. You can walk along the promenade, enjoy dinner, or simply rest at the hotel. Exact sea activities depend on the day's operating arrangements and conditions, so our team confirms the practical details before departure.

Your final full day in Hurghada is left open for a slower coastal experience. Sleep in, have breakfast, and choose how active you want the day to be. You can return to the beach, spend time by the pool, or arrange another sea activity through our team if space and conditions allow. Keep the day flexible rather than planning around a fixed promise of water visibility or weather.

For travellers who prefer dry activities, Hurghada's waterfront gives you an easy setting for a walk, a café stop or souvenir shopping. Your guide can help explain local transport and agree a safe meeting point if you explore independently. Those joining a boat or snorkelling excursion should carry only the essentials and protect phones and cameras from spray.

In the evening, repack your luggage and keep travel documents together for departure. Check whether wet swimwear needs extra time to dry, and leave room for anything bought during the trip. A final dinner by the coast brings the sightseeing portion of the itinerary to a calm close.

Have breakfast and complete your final packing before the scheduled transfer to Hurghada International Airport. Our team confirms the pickup arrangement in advance and allows time for the drive, airport procedures and any traffic on the way. Keep your passport, travel documents, medication and valuables in your hand luggage.

At the airport, your driver helps you reach the correct terminal area, while you complete check-in, baggage drop and security procedures with the airline. If your departure is later in the day, ask our team whether luggage storage or a short extension of your hotel access is possible; these arrangements depend on availability and are not guaranteed.

Allow extra time for airport formalities, particularly when travelling with checked bags or family equipment. Your 10-day Egypt itinerary ends in Hurghada, after Cairo's ancient sites, Siwa's desert landscapes and time beside the Red Sea.
