Discover Hurghada tours in Egypt
Ancient wonders in Cairo, Nile Valley sights, then Red Sea relaxation in Hurghada
Hurghada tours are a great way to pair Egypt’s iconic ancient sights with time on the Red Sea. Many itineraries combine Cairo and the Pyramids of Giza with Nile Valley highlights such as Aswan, Luxor, Kom Ombo and Edfu, before slowing the pace for beach days in Hurghada. Expect opportunities to swim and relax, with optional snorkelling or scuba diving in clear coastal waters. Some trips also include time on a Nile cruiser or a traditional felucca. Travel styles range from group guided tours to private tours, so it is easy to choose the level of structure and independence that suits the trip.

Felucca Explorer & Red Sea - 11 days From Cairo and the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza, to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, discover the wonders of ancient Egypt and spend two days sailing the Nile onboard a traditional felucca. End your adventure with a relaxing Red Sea beach break in Hurghada, on this value-packed 11-day Egyptian escapade.Budget Tours11All the ancient sites but especially Pyramids and Karnak Temple. The beauty of the Nile experienced on the Felluca cruise. The knowledge and approach of Sherif our Guide - wonderful and pitched just right for the group. The overnight train journey was awful - the horn was blown every 30 seconds for the 14 hour trip - no sleep! The toilet on the Felluca needed to be cleaner and the cistern topped up more regularly. The optional snorkelling trip at the Red Sea felt like we were being herded like cattle

Signature Journeys13Abu Simbal, the balloon trip in the Valley of the Kings, Luxor Temple at night, cruising the Nile were highlights of an overall excellent tour. You made this a truly memorable trip of a lifetime. The train trip was rustic. The bullet train will be a welcome addition to the itinerary.

Signature Journeys13The whole trip was amazing. The order of our visits to the temples was just right. I really liked Philae. Momo was a knowledgeable and helpful tour guide, and obviously loves his subject. Momo did walk rather fast which meant the group was unable to stick together in the crowded areas. The train was an experience, but would not recommend it to anyone. The local extra tours by On The Go were expensive. I had requested lower floor rooms and the last two days was an issue.

Signature Journeys13So many sites. So many highlights. Pyramids, GEM, Valley of the Kings and the boat cruise on the Nile. Hot air ballooning at Luxor was wonderful. Loved Luxor temple at nightfall. Shopping stops are not our thing. Many people on our tour enjoyed them, so I understand the need. Food was definitely not a highlight, but quite acceptable.

Signature Journeys13Starting in Sakarra, going to Giza, visiting the new museum and the museum of Ancient civilization were amazing. The valley of the kings, the two temples that had been moved, awesome. Our guide Helal was Amazing. A fantastic trip. The overnight train from Cairo to Aswan was definitely an experience, but as our tour group was so supportive, we all laughed and made the best of it. The mini buses could have had more leg room, especially as some of the legs were quite long. Overall little things.
Road to Jordan with Cruise - 16 daysExperience the wonders of Egypt and Jordan on this 16-day journey from Cairo to the Dead Sea. Stand before the Pyramids of Giza, cruise the Nile in style, and explore ancient Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. Then fly to Jordan to uncover the rose-red city of Petra, camp under the stars in Wadi Rum, and float in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea. With temple visits, desert safaris, and plenty of time to unwind, this tour blends history, adventure and relaxation across two incredible countries. It’s a fascinating deep dive into the region’s culture and ancient civilisations.Signature Journeys16All of it! The sights, the people and both our guides - particularly the variety the tour offered. The mix up at Jordan airport - no one to meet us with visas. The lack of discussion about whether to continue to Jordan, given the security situation and lack of all other tours who had obviously decided to cancel.

Also the tipping kitty was quite high for Egypt . Jordan was no problem with the kitty and it worked well.
